Cannabis farmers in the United States may have a serious chemical problem to contend with–pesticides. Right now, there aren't any federal regulations on pesticide use in cannabis farming, and laws and use can vary widely by state. Some groups are calling for explicit restriction and regulation of pesticides used by commercial growing operations. Marijuana still isn't fully legal at the federal level, and it's possible pesticide regulations won't be added until these laws are amended....

The legal cannabis market is expected to grow rapidly in North America over the next five years, approaching a quarter of a billion dollars in 2021 (the same value as markets for chocolate or craft beer). The market in California alone is expected to make up more than one-fourth of the total North American market by 2021. One of the requirements for the retail (legal) cannabis market is testing of the product for potency, purity, and other qualities....
The 30th annual symposium highlights the origin, development, implementation, and commercialization of UHPLC techniques and instrumentation.

Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports that its Nanobrook ZetaPALS zeta potential analyser is uniquely optimised to make sensitive and precise measurements in both organic and aqueous media. Typically making zeta potential measurements in organic (non polar) solvents requires much higher sensitivity than in aqueous (polar) solutions. The Nanobrook ZetaPALS analyser achieves this using phase analysis light scattering...
Labs can have a fragrance which is characteristic of a build-up of trace vapours. Ideally, the lab should not smell; however, in an environment in which automated analysis equipment continuously runs, the likelihood of organic chemical and reagent volatiles leaking increases. This concoction of substances in the air can not only be a fire and explosion risk, but can also be harmful to health. VapLock closed systems make it easy to improve laboratory safety by reducing exposure to vapors and hazardous solvent waste.
Restek has expanded its line of LC accessories to bring you even more of what you need to keep your LC flowing. Over 140 new items are now available, including fittings, tubing, mobile phase management and safety supplies, and more. Featured products include bottle top inlet valves to protect your lab from volatile compounds and your mobile phase from bacterial contamination, outlet valves to regulate pressure during helium sparging, and safety exhaust filters with a color indicator to clearly show when a changeout is needed.
