and marks the 50th International Symposium and Exposition on High
Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques. ...
Are your columns not lasting as long as you want? Are you struggling to
identify what kills your column or how you can increase its lifetime? A
new white paper describes what actions you can take to p...
Brine (salt water), the feedstock of the chlor-alkali industry, is used
in the production of chlorine, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), soda ash
(sodium carbonate), hydrogen (hydrochloric acid) and a ...

As a millennial, I’m very aware of the impact technology has on my
generation and how it has shaped my expectations. Information is readily
available and entertainment options are more convenient. For...
Have you ever been in a situation where you haven’t known how to start a
new method? Staring into your column cabinet and wondering what would do
the trick when it comes to separating even more peaks ...
Have you ever seen pressure fluctuations or retention time shifts in
your HPLC that go away as suddenly as they appeared? Do you use buffers
in your HPLC application? If you answered yes, read this bl...
For many years Thermo Fisher Scientific has worked closely with
PharmaFluidics, inventor and manufacturer of micro pillar array columns
(μPAC) for low-flow liquid chromatography (LC) omics experiments...
September 2021 saw the launch of a new low-flow UHPLC solution, the
Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Neo UHPLC system and Thermo Scientific™
PepMap™ Neo UHPLC columns. When we talk about HPLC columns, ter...
Change is the only constant we have in life. And while we are living
proof of Darwinism, we certainly were not prepared for the suddenly
abrupt lifestyle changes COVID-19 threw our way. While there wa...
Do you recall the first thing you learned how to cook? For me, it was
scrambled eggs. I clearly remember the steps I was taught: crack eggs
into a bowl and mix, then butter the pan, finish by adding s...
“A new product line?” That was the surprise statement heard around the
world when Dionex introduced the first Acclaim HPLC columns 20 years
ago, on 10 July, 2001 (later to become the Thermo Scientific...
In October 2020, hundreds of scientists gathered together for Thermo
Fisher Scientific’s Global Ion Chromatography (IC) Virtual Symposium.
This inaugural event was a celebration of the impact that thi...
During my time of pandemic shelter-in-place, like many others I turned
to online streaming for distraction. In my search for programs, I found
intense fascination with baking competitions. Captivated ...
You probably ordered most of your holiday gifts online; maybe you buy
your groceries through the web and your favourite books can be digitally
purchased in seconds via the internet. So why not think a...
I have previously written about the need to reduce the proliferation of
Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets in the laboratory and how our
Chromatography Data System (CDS) admin team can utilize Thermo
Scie...
Every year in my annual Spring Cleaning, I sort through my closets for
donations. There are always those “two-sizes too small” suits and dress
clothes in the back of the closet, representing those unr...
Perchlorate is an interesting anion. It does not absorb in the
ultraviolet so it cannot be detected with a UV detector. This makes it
difficult to detect using HPLC instrumentation. Furthermore, perch...
As a baker, I’m constantly scaling up good recipes, and as a scientist
you might need to do the same. Prep LC is all about scaling up – and let
me tell you from experience that scaling up is often nee...
Despite my busy schedule as a full-time working parent and tennis team
captain, I greatly enjoy when I am in charge of preparing delicious
meals in my kitchen, which I tend to run almost like a mini l...
I don’t know about you, but I can never have too many shoes. At least I
do not have a strict rule as to how many pairs I should own. Many times
I have set off on a mission to find the perfect shoe jus...
A combination lock annoyingly doesn’t open until the correct sequence of
numbers is used. You know when you are inputting the code and it won’t
open, that the numbers are in the wrong position. So, yo...
As a new homeowner I’m quickly becoming accustomed to the laundry list

The other day I received a paper credit card statement from my bank. I
threw it in my recycling bin while wondering why the bank was still
sending me paper statements. Online banking has made tracking...
Talking about ghosts, zombies, and witchcraft is enormously popular
these days, and we are chiming in on the hype today by talking about
ghost peaks in GC and GC-MS.We thought we could get away with i...
This is a question that I have always asked myself, basically where does
all the separation and magic happen in liquid chromatography? Does it
come from the column and the chemistries within, is it mo...
In my previous role as an analytical chemist, I really did enjoy
chromatography method development and that great feeling you get when
conquering that key separation. I will admit that starting the pr...
