LCGC TV: Alan Marshall on Analyzing Oil Spills: The Impact Over Time
Understanding the impact of an oil spill on the environment is vital to managing it. In the latest clip from LCGC TV, Alan G. Marshall from the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University discusses how FT-ICR-MS offers insights into what is happening in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Webinar on High Throughput PFC analysis
The TurboTrace® PFC (Perfluoralkylated substances) SPE system is designed to streamline your laboratory's workflow and increase productivity by automating the manual steps in your sample preparation process. It is designed for high throughput and tough sample matrices. It is the first automated solid phase extraction system made specifically for PFC extraction and concentration. Effective at reducing background contamination, extraction and concentration of aqueous samples takes less than two hours. Register for the Webinar on October 12th
Getting the Most from Phenyl Stationary Phases for HPLC
I've often written about the "lazy" chromatography which has swept through our industry, whereby 0.1% (w/w or w/v!) TFA or formic acid is used to "buffer" the eluent system well away from the pKa of analyte molecules, leaving most acidic analytes in the ion suppressed form and most basic analytes in the ionized form. This approach has its advantages, however, it makes us reliant on other variables to control selectivity including exploring the selectivity of stationary phase types.
Say goodbye to loud, oil-sealed GC pumps
The Agilent IDP-3 dry scroll pump puts distracting noises, oily messes, and pump seizures behind you once and for all. It features Oil-free operation that minimizes pump failures, Environmental friendliness as there is no more oil Leaks/spills, Powerful vacuum performance and last but not least, lightweight with low noise and minimal power requirements.

Ira Lurie of the George Washington University, Washington D.C., USA, describes the role of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) in forensic analysis and why the technique has evolved to the point it should become a recognized technique for the analysis of seized drugs.
Improve Productivity and Data Integrity
The Thermo Scientific™ Virtuoso™ Vial Identification System imprints customizable sample data DIRECTLY onto Thermo Scientific vials, ensuring sample identity. Virtuoso is fully programmable and can be operated with an easy-to-use touch screen, reducing labeling errors, and enhancing sample security. The system improves productivity, traceability, and data integrity. Click here for our blog on how automating sample vial labeling can help make your lab more robust.

LC Troubleshooting: How Does It Work? Part 4: Ultraviolet Detectors
This instalment of LC Troubleshooting looks at the two most popular LC detectors, the variable wavelength ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) and diode array (also commonly called the photodiode array, or PDA) detectors.

Phosphorylated Peptide Isolation Improvement
New! The ERLIC-WAX chemistry, in both column and microSPE formats, addresses multi-phosphorylated peptide isolation challenges better than titania methods. Then desalting by TARGA18®, UltraMicroSpin™ SPE from 100% water can improve recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try one of our ERLIC WAX & TARGA separation approaches today!
