New Chromatography Columns and Accessories for 2016
Our annual review of new liquid chromatography (LC) columns and accessories introduced at Pittcon and throughout the previous year. Techniques covered include HPLC, UHPLC, HILIC, SFC, IC, and SEC as well as reversed-phase, chiral, and affinity chromatography.
VICI Safety Exhaust filters
VICI's exhaust filter prevents the pollution of the lab air with VOCs and other toxic or hazardous compounds. It includes a detector which indicates the filter saturation. Learn more
The Middle Ground on Unconventional Oil and Gas Development (aka “Fracking”) is a Lonely Place
Kevin A. Schug discusses his research consortium's work on the quality of groundwater in close proximity to fracking sites, the disparity in the media's interpretation of the data, and addresses valid queries made by critics.
Application Note
With great detection power comes great possibility
Advances in both instrumentation and software now make mass detection a technique that is much more accessible to chromatographers. Learn how analysts can readily incorporate mass detection within a UV chromatographic workflow. Learn More
