LCGC TV: Luis Colon on The Analysis of Nanoparticles: HPLC vs. Electrophoresis
The selection of an appropriate analytical technique for nanoparticle analysis depends upon the type of results you want to obtain. Luis Colon from the State University of New York at Buffalo discusses the advantages of using HPLC over electrophoresis for analyzing carbon nanoparticles.
A Low Solvent Extraction and Clean Up for POPs analysis
A newly developed automated sample extraction and cleanup system, the Total Rapid EconoPrep®, allows for fastest sample extraction, cleanup, and concentration for the analysis of dioxins, PCBs, and PDBEs (2 h). Solvent consumption is limited to 150–200 mL and no dichloromethane is used during the cleanup step. The application note discusses sample turnaround times of only a few hours providing excellent results and same-day analysis. Learn more
Useful Free Tools for HPLC Method Development
I've done that thing where I've stated a very interesting title—I hope I can deliver something which lives up to it. I dislike it when people "overstate" their talk or poster titles at conferences to draw me in and then don't deliver against the promise—I'll let you judge how we go here.
