The LCGC Blog
It is often possible to achieve better sensitivity and lower limits of detection and quantitation using standard gas chromatography (GC) equipment—here I'm referring to a standard split/splitless injection port and a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Paying attention to some of the fundamental variables as well as some of the more esoteric considerations can lead to much improved method performance.

We are pleased to announce the introduction of the new 200 ml/min Nitrogen Generator. Using a slim line space saving cabinet it can support 1 to 6 GC's with make-up or carrier gas. The new version is available with the integrated catalyst module to provide the highest purity nitrogen free from hydrocarbons, ideal for all GC applications including ECD.

Silicone impact support mats from Porvair Sciences are designed to protect deep well microplates when they are being centrifuged. Fitting snugly into the skirt of the deep well plates, silicone impact support mats allow plates to be used in a centrifuge without risking plate distortion, cracking or breaking, resulting in well leakage and loss of valuable samples. Impact support mats are now available for Porvair Sciences square deep well plates (2ml, 1ml and 350ul), round well plates (2ml & 1ml) and range of large volume deep well plates.
