The LCGC Blog: Mass Spectrometry-Based Bacterial Identification in the Environment
Kevin A. Schug discusses how matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is actually one of the most versatile tools for fingerprinting mixtures.
CSD-GC Workflow
A reliable inert flow path (IFP) can ensure higher sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility in your GC analyses. Agilent extends those benefits further with new Agilent DB-WAX Ultra Inert columns – offering greater inertness for a broad range of challenging polar compounds, resulting in more accurate identification and low-level quantification compared to other column brands. Download our DB-WAX UI information kit, and take advantage of our offer to save 25% on DB-WAX UI columns now.
Separation Science in Drug Development, Part 3: Analytical Development
The third instalment in this series provides an overview of modern practices of separation science in small-molecule drug development. Highlighting HPLC method development and physical or chemical characterization to support process chemistry and formulation development, and for assessment or control of clinical trial materials.
SPE columns for glycopeptide isolation
New! iSPE® Fusion SPE chemistries isolate glycopeptides or released glycans. And desalting with the water wettable, TARGA® C18 UltraMicroSpin™ columns, by loading in 100% water, improves recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try our Fusion SPE and TARGA C18 today!
