C18 and C18E SPE columns are the most commonly used SPE columns for various analytical tests. Not only are the names similar between the two, but also the functional groups and retention mechanisms are almost the same, which often makes people indistinguishable. So what exactly is the difference between the two? Before that, let's take a look at what C18 adsorbent packing materials are...

Unlike traditional loose-packed Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) methods, Microlute CP SPE 96-well microplates and cartridges are based upon a solid interconnected network of evenly distributed pores combined with novel retentive media. This unique design enhances the flow-through of samples to maximise interactions between analytes and the solid phase to deliver unmatched reproducible SPE products that excel in terms of performance, cleanliness, and sensitivity...
The Solvent Line Monitor from TESTA Analytical is a true plug-and-play addition to any HPLC system designed to detect when one or more of its pump solvent reservoirs are empty and automatically shut-off the system. Modern chromatography systems often include automation enabling them to achieve a high sample throughput which was unthinkable just a few years ago. This has led to many organizations reducing the number of lab personnel trained to run HPLC systems....
Molnupiravir (Lagevrio®) is an antiviral medication to treat mild to medium COVID-19 infection. Molnupiravir is actually a prodrug of the active substrate N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC), a synthetic ribonucleoside analogue. The treatment leads to the introduction of copying errors during viral RNA replication and by this inhibits the viral reproduction. This new Application Note demonstrates how molnupiravir and its active agent β-d-N4-hydroxycytidine can be separated by using a YMC-Triart C18 UHPLC column...
Waters Corporation announced it is providing both technology and expertise to help advance plant-based protein science in collaboration with researchers of the Plant Protein Innovation Center (PPIC) at the University of Minnesota.
