In response to the ever-increasing demand in new drug discovery and development, medicinal chemistry has progressed at a fast pace during the last ten years. To obtain a better understanding of the chemicals that are being researched, more efforts are paid to the analysis and purification of numerous compounds or polymer-bound compounds. As a professional medicinal chemistry expert as well as a leading practitioner, BOC Sciences....
Testa Analytical Solutions reports on considerable interest from protein scientists to use Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) as a tool for screening for the presence of aggregates as it is extremely sensitive to these larger compounds. Applications Lab Manager - Raffaele Carano said "Protein aggregation is a common challenge in the manufacturing of biological products. Protein scientists particularly like DLS because it provides them with a simple, fast and non-destructive test for aggregate detection....
In response to the ever increasing demand for new Reference Standards to test for the presence of PFAS in everyday products Wellington Laboratories has increased its product line to include four new perfluoroether and perfluoropolyether-carboxylic acids (PF40PeA, PF50HxA, 3,6-0PFHpA and P5MeODIOXOAc), a perfluoroethersulfonate (PFEESA), perfluorodecanesulfonamide (FDSA-1) and N-methylperfluorobutanesulfonamide (N-MeFBSA-M)....
The goal of HPLC 2020 is to bring together scientists involved with all aspects of liquid-phase analytical separations from basic research to practice.
