SepSolve Analytical Ltd (Peterborough, UK) has launched the BenchTOF2™ – a next generation mass spectrometer for GC and GC×GC – that through enhanced sensitivity, improved spectral quality, heightened selectivity and an extended dynamic range, maximises the amount of information extracted from every single sample, and removes the guesswork associated with compound identification....
Applied Photophysics (AP) started in Mayfair, London, in April 1971. An unusual place perhaps for a start-up scientific instrument company, was although explained by the fact that the origins of the company lie within the Royal Institution (RI). The Royal Institution has been at 21 Abermarle Street, Mayfair since 1799 and conducting scientific research since Humphrey Davy became director in 1801...
