LCGC TV: Gene Barry on GC: Knowing When to Replace a Column
Tailing peaks, unusual peak shapes, and disappearing peaks are all indicators of column wear. In the latest clip from LCGC TV, Gene Barry from the University of Massachusetts Lowell discusses the steps that should be taken when a column is coming to the end of its shelf life.
Backpressure regulation up to 300bar
As an extension to the VICI Jour® Back Pressure Regulators the new JR-BPR3 offers an extended application range. Pressures from 90-300bar (1300-4200psi) are easily manual adjustable. The body is made of stainless steel and the inert membran bar enables the usage of any HPLC mobile phase and of supercritical CO2. The JR-BPR3 can also be mounted into any column oven up to 80°C.

Column Watch: Highlights from HPLC 2016
This instalment of "Column Watch" covers some of the highlights observed at the recent 2016 HPLC conference in San Francisco, USA, including stationary-phase developments, particle technology, and areas of growing application of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, trends and perspectives on future developments in HPLC noted from the conference are presented.
ICPC is the only conference specifically dedicated to Polyolefin Characterization. Held every other year in different locations, it offers a comprehensive program focused on Separation and Fractionation, Morphology, Spectroscopy, Rheology and Modeling, and Ancillary Techniques. A Short Course on Polyolefin Characterization Techniques is held the day before the conference. The 6th edition of ICPC will take place in Shanghai, China, November 6-9, 2016.

The LCGC Blog: Allowable Changes to Pharmacopeial HPLC Methods
I started my career working in a Quality Control laboratory. I'm familiar with the constraints that must be imposed to ensure consistent global standards and the pace at which change can be implemented without loss of control either within a business or across an industry. OK—scene set.
Application Note
Improving the analysis of fungicides using MS
UniSpray coupled with the ACQUITY UPC2 and Xevo TQ-XS gives the ability to screen for a broader range of compounds, with increased ionization efficiency which offers increased scope during method development. Learn more

Making the Right Connections
Incognito ruminates on the woes associated with connecting liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) columns correctly, and ponders a future where everything is connecting differently.
Application Note
A Basic Overview: Meeting the PIC/S Requirements for a Computerized System
This whitepaper provides a summary of the impact of PIC/S, and compliance with the PIC/S document PE 009-12 “Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products Annexes“ Annex 11 Computerised Systems. It includes a high-level foundation to understand how pharmaceutical manufacturing companies are being regulated, what PIC/S means for common requirements across different countries, and how these requirements relate to expectations for data from computerised systems/electronic records.
