Gilson has announced a new UV-VIS detector to its VERITY® line of purification systems. The VERITY® 1741 UV-VIS Detector is specifically designed with the needs of semi-preparative and preparative HPLC customers in mind. It relies on the power of UV-VIS with diode array detection (DAD) technology, like that found in Gilson's popular PLC Purification Systems. The VERITY 1741 Detector is an ideal solution for purification applications in drug discovery, food supplements, natural products, and biomolecular research.
Porvair Sciences announces that its Ultravap® Mistral XT 150 blowdown evaporator is now able to operate at temperatures up to 80°C thereby significantly increasing the rate of evaporation of both organic solvents and aqueous solutions. Designed to provide dry down of samples in microplates and glass tubes up to 150 mm in length - the Ultravap® Mistral XT150 offers a low maintenance, sample-safe alternative to using water bath-based evaporators...
With the ANALYSETTE 22 NeXT the precise measurement of particle sizes becomes a simple matter – even for employees with brief instructions and no prior knowledge. Whether in production and quality control, research and development, in the lab or for incoming and outgoing goods inspection, where its robust mechanics are an additional advantage. A brief introduction to the instrument is sufficient; the rest runs automatically....

TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K reports that its popular Liquid Chromatography Flowmeter is being used to determine accurate flow rate calibration data from HPLC pumps in just a few minutes. To maintain consistent accuracy of results, each and every HPLC pump needs calibration of the flow rate it delivers on a regular base. The traditional method of calibrating HPLC pump flow rate relies upon a gravimetric method...
Are you plagued with poor peak shapes, low sensitivities, sample carry over and/or low recoveries for challenging compounds. Several substances are able to interact with the usual inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The adsorption on metallic surfaces typically leads to peak tailing, loss of recovery and sample carry over. Critical substances are especially metal-coordinating compounds, such as fumonisins, sphingophospholipids or organophosphates in general....
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, and ChromSword, a provider of innovative software products, have collaborated to launch an automated high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method development system that enables chromatographers to deliver robust and validated methods in less time and with higher confidence...
Opening a new facility, Biotage triples its production capacity for equipment crucial in the supply chain for the production of mRNA vaccines. Biotage is one of the few companies offering a complete solution and ready to go off-the-shelf products for the purification of large-scale lipids, used in mRNA vaccine development and production. Expanding its production capacity of large-scale flash columns by 300 per cent, Biotage is now helping pharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturers’ scale up lipid production for COVID-19 vaccines...
Solvent evaporation specialists - BioChromato Inc. has published an informative web page that describes how Vacuum Vortex Concentration (VVC) methodology enables users of its Smart Series of Evaporators remove even higher boiling solvents including water, DMSO and DMF quickly and safely. At the heart of each BioChromato Smart Evaporator is a highly efficient spiral airflow created by a special concentrator plug or “Spiral Plug”....
Element Materials Technology (Element) has acquired Arch Sciences Group (Arch), a leading provider of analytical services and laboratory solutions to customers in the pharmaceuticals sector. As well as marking Element’s entry into the European pharmaceutical market, the move means that the life sciences end market is now the largest within Element....
A number of analytes are able to interact with conventional inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The inert YMC-Triart metal-free (U)HPLC columns are fully biocompatible due to their PEEK lined stainless steel column bodies and the use of PEEK frits. You can achieve excellent peak shapes and reliable recoveries for critical substances such as biomolecules. The prevention of carryover makes them an ideal choice for highly sensitive LC/MS analyses....
Academics in search of solutions to creating more energy efficient phones and television screens now have high-performance machinery at their fingertips, after Northumbria University has invested in a suite of new state-of-the-art equipment to push its leading-edge research forward. Investment in a Fluorescence Spectrometer, which has now been installed in a lab within Northumbria’s department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering, will further research led by Dr Marc Etherington
Bruker has launched the latest version of its NMR Honey-Profiling™ module for the advanced detection of the ever evolving modes of honey adulteration.
