LCGC TV: Gérard Hopfgartner on Advances in Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry
In the first video update to LCGC TV of 2015, Gérard Hopfgartner from the University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Switzerland discusses the advances in ion mobility mass spectrometry, highlighting the benefits of the technique and how it can be hyphenated to both 1D and 2D LC.
Nitrogen: The Most Cost-Effective Makeup Gas for Gas Chromatography
The global shortage of helium has caused prices to soar. Many Chromatographers are now using Nitrogen. N2 improves flame shape, enhancing sensitivity. Nitrogen can be easily generated by an in-house generator, eliminating the costs and dangers of high pressure tanks. Read White Paper for more information. Learn More

Insights on Increased Efficiency for Superficially Porous Particles Among Other Things
LCGC blogger Kevin Schug knows that there is more to the increased efficiency provided by the use of superficially porous particles compared to fully porous particles than simply mass transfer effects, yet he would argue that this is still one of the biggest misconceptions propagated by some members of the chromatography community.
More Efficiency, More Free Time

Column Protection: Three Easy Steps
In this month's "LC Troubleshooting" discussion, John Dolan examines what reasonable expectations are for column lifetimes. He looks at three things we can do to help maximize the useful life of the column, some of which are almost free.
Micro-SPE Glycopeptide/Glycan  Isolation
New! ERLIC-WAX chemistry addresses multi-phosphorylated peptide, glycopeptide and glycan isolation challenges. Desalting with TARGA® C18, UltraMicroSpin™ SPE, even from 100% water, can improve recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try one of our ERLIC WAX & TARGA C18 approaches today!

Quantifying Proteins by Mass Spectrometry
The quantification of proteins in a complex biological sample is an important and challenging task. Mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly used for this purpose, not only to give a global survey of the components and their amounts, but also to precisely and accurately quantify specific target proteins.
