Questions of Quality: Paper, Paper Everywhere but None of it Controlled?
One of the common threads in the six data integrity guidance documents published to date is the need to control any blank forms used in regulated GXP laboratories. This month's “Questions of Quality” is focused on how to interpret the regulator's requirements for this topic. We also pose the question: Is paper the best way to record regulated data?

Researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) have developed a rapid, accurate, and precise method to quantify water content in solid pharmaceutical drugs using headspace gas chromatography (HSGC).
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. Desalting by TARGA® C18, UltraMicroSpin™ SPE from 100% water then improves recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try one of our ERLIC WAX & TARGA separation approaches today!
