Type-C silica columns have a surface populated by silicon-hydride functional groups instead of silanols. These bonded phases have the ability to retain polar solutes at high concentrations of organic solvent by aqueous normal-phase (ANP) and non-polar compounds under reversed-phase conditions. The lack of surface silanols leads to fast equilibration times, excellent peak shape and extended column lifetimes...

Save time and maximize sample recovery with this unique microwave vial adapter system.
After a sample is dissolved in solvent and transferred to a microwave vial, this adapter and bump trap assembly allow the sample to be directly concentrated in the vial. The standard taper joint at the top of the adapter provides direct connection to a rotary evaporator. The trap insert is made from PTFE and guards against bumping of the solvents under vacuum conditions while allowing the sample solution to drain back to the vial....

Effective liquid level sensing is vital for many applications, helping to avoid erroneous results and reduce the risk of sample carry-over.
Tecan’s versatile Cavro® Omni Robot now offers increased process security by allowing a combination of capacitive liquid level detection (cLLD) and pressure-based liquid level detection (pLLD) on a single platform. Designed to offer straightforward integration for precision liquid handling, the Cavro Omni Robot features built-in cLLD for up to eight pipetting channels, with programmable detection frequencies to avoid interference between channels....
Many titrations are still often performed manually because regulations require a titration to continue until the color changes; in other words, the endpoint must not be indicated by a pH electrode or a metal electrode. Guessing shades of red, orange, purple, etc., however has an end, as such titrations can now be automated with a new optical sensor, the Metrohm Optrode.
The optrode features eight different wavelengths for a wide measuring range, it is 100% solvent resistant thanks to a glass shaft, and it is very easy to handle. The new photometric sensor can be used for many applications. Typical applications include....
Cogent TYPE-C silica LC phases from MicroSolv Technologies have the ability to retain polar solutes at high concentrations of organic solvent by aqueous normal-phase (ANP) and non-polar compounds under reversed-phase (RP) conditions.
These columns use patented bonding technology to create a surface populated by silicon-hydride functional groups instead of silanols. The lack of surface silanols leads to fast equilibration times, excellent peak shape and extended column lifetimes for a wide range of analytes. To demonstrate the unique abilities of Cogent TYPE-C silica LC phases a wide range of application notes are available including.....

Read More?OEM Wide Assortment of PEEK TubingMay 23, 2014
VICI Valco’s new assortment of PEEKTubing is one of the largest offerings in the world and is available in a variety of natural PEEK, solid color coded, dual layer color coded, striped and dash-stripe coded.
Dual Layer Color-Coded eliminates any concern that a critical sample stream could be contaminated by pigments used to color code the tubing. It looks like any other color-coded tubing at first glance, but a closer look reveals that the pigmented layer surrounds a separate but integrally bonded inner layer of natural PEEK. The pressure performance is equivalent to single-layer tubing. Dual Layer PEEK tubing is available in a wide range of colors, striped or solid...
