Editor's note: This is the first in a three-part series. A reliable Chromatography Data System (CDS) is crucial for efficient and compliant operation in many modern laboratories with strict regulatory...
You would be hard-pressed not to find a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument in today’s analytical laboratory, given its critical role in a range of fields, from pharmaceutical to ...
There’s no doubt we’re all much more health conscious since COVID-19 came into our lives (like a wrecking ball), spurring a surge in healthier lifestyles and diets. One example is the supplement marke...
I recently saw a tweet polling the proteomics community on the relative importance, price, and technical difficulty of mass spectrometry-based proteomics: sample prep, liquid chromatography (LC), mass...
Every Lunar New Year is associated with one of 12 animal zodiacs. The action-packed Year of the Tiger is over, and on January 22, 2023, we hopped into the gentler Year of the Rabbit. As with every Lun...
We’ve all been there. You need to visit a website to do some research on a big purchase you are thinking of making. While sifting through various product pages you get frustrated. You start asking the...
Small but mighty. Whether it is your choice of chromatography vials, well plates or column chemistries, these everyday heroes have the power to make or break your analysis. Choosing the correct produc...
The role of lipid nanoparticles Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) play a key role in mRNA-based vaccine and therapeutics. LNPs encapsulate mRNAs, protecting them from degradation before the uptake by target c...
The 2022 theme of World Water Day (March 22) is Groundwater - making the invisible, visible. Why is this important? It is estimated there is over a thousand times more water in the ground than on the ...
Thermo Fisher Scientific proudly carries a legacy of engineering next-generation liquid chromatography products — everything from HPLC & UHPLC systems to columns, detectors and software. Customers res...
Daily routine simplified While we all are different, most of us have very similar daily routines. We sleep at night, wake up in the morning, brush teeth, exercise, have breakfast, go to work, have lun...
The rise of mass-spectrometry in proteomics research Decades of significant advancements in mass-spectrometry technologies have resulted in better resolution, higher sensitivity and mass accuracy, sim...
HPLC method development is a bit like trying to solve a maze. The goal – the cheese, if you will – is to develop a method that provides adequate resolution, sensitivity, robustness and throughput. Sou...
What does it mean to be the next generation? You don’t have to look far to find the term “next-generation” or “NextGen” used to describe new technology. But what does it mean to describe a product or ...
Like all great things in life, your treasured HPLC system will not last forever. If you identify with any of these issues, you should consider replacing your instrument. I used to joke in grad school ...
Mass production makes it possible to bring thousands of gadgets to your home, kitchen and office. The application stores on your mobile devices have millions of products ranging from analyzing the sto...
PSA: Climate change is real! Melting glaciers and the extinction of polar bears. Dead coral reefs and acidification of the ocean. Increased droughts and raging wildfires. A warming ocean and stronger ...
I’m sure that is a question that many cannot answer. How do you know if you are missing analytes if you’ve never detected them previously? I am confident, though, that most would wish to have the conf...
Have you ever looked at one of your chromatograms and thought: “Oh, I think there are two peaks overlapping?” Having a background in analytical chemistry and years in the lab, I know how it feels. You...
Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics is frequently coupled to a diverse range of chromatographic techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC), ion chromatography (IC), and gas chromatography (GC).I r...
Making the switch isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the investment. I vividly remember the day in graduate school when my advisor asked me if I’d be “okay” giving up the HPLC instrument I used for two...
This field of vaccine research, development and manufacture of viral therapeutics has not received the attention it has warranted in the past, presumably as higher returns from other therapeutic areas...
It’s Time to Make Sure Your HPLC Suits Your Analytical NeedsMost routine biopharma analytics labs have standardized equipment; repeat purchase of the same systems or slightly upgraded models. While th...
In the mid-1970s, the combination of industrial action by coal miners with the OAPEC oil embargo meant that the UK was running desperately short of fuel for electricity generation. As a result, the go...
This summer sees two prominent five-year anniversaries taking place: in July 2014 the first Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ UHPLC system was launched, the Vanquish Horizon, and then in September 2014 I j...
We all accept that modern research life requires us to balance creativity with maximizing the return on investment of our instrumentation. In fact, both these demands continue to grow, and at a certai...
This almost sounds like a line from Shakespeare, but HPLC or high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) came a little after the ‘Bard of Avon.’ Bot...
Recently my youngest daughter asked me, “Why do we have two eyes?”That was easy to answer, “To figure out the distance and size of objects more easily.” The next question was a bit more challenging: “...
If 10 years ago you told me I would be writing an article about avoiding procrastination I would have laughed as I thought I was a procrastinator myself. I have come to realise that it wasn’t ‘true’ p...
About a week ago I was out at the local pizza joint with my daughter.We usually do a half and half pizza. Her half is cheese my half has pepperoni, olives, mushrooms and other assorted vegetables depe...
