Read MoreDETERMINATION OF PAH IN GROUND, SURFACE AND DRINKING WATER USING SYMBIOSIS ENVIRONMar 21, 2010
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), a group of chemically related compounds, are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. In the environment these compounds are formed during pyrolysis and incomplete combustion processes. They are found throughout the environment in air, water and soil. The (by law enforced) maximum acceptable concentration level of PAH in water is approximately 10 ppt for each individual component.

Often client specific requirements for multipurpose equipment can not be solved with “off the shelf“ solutions. In this specific case, the Kronlab custom build approach proved very useful: every component has been specifically approved for the application at hand and following a specified procedure it is integrated into an LC system. The result is a made-to-measure system.

Read MoreTracking Down Fake CashmereFeb 28, 2010
New application note from Retsch GmbH
Due to the fact that only a very small amount can be won from each animal, cashmere wool is an expensive resource for the textile industry which makes it susceptible to falsifications. Instead of cashmere, the cheaper sheep wool is used and the product is then declared as genuine cashmere. Or products only contain a small amount of cashmere while the rest is wool from other animals which is processed without declaration.

Simply high dynamic binding capacities (DBC’s) are no longer sufficient. High DBC, at high flow rates with close to 100% recovery, across a wide range of molecular weights, this is what chromatographers look for in modern ion exchange resins. “BioPro” YMC’s hugely successful ion exchange material offers exactly this. The growing user base confirms very good separation, high dynamic binding capacities and excellent recoveries for the anion as well as the cation exchanger material.
