Gas chromatographers know how much of their time performing analytical
work is taken up preparing samples for the injection. Most of the GC
analysis time often involves several manual handling procedu...
If the analysis of MOSH/MOAH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons and
Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) is a challenge in your lab, you know
how complicated the sample preparation can be. The EN 16995...
It’s always been a challenge to find parts for something after you’ve
had it for a few years. A lot of times you probably can’t even find the
manual, let alone the part number. All you may have is a d...
Did you join us at ASMS, the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
meeting in Minneapolis? You may have seen a recurring theme throughout
the week. “Your Vision/Our Innovation” was our anthem, and yo...
Inflation seems rampant these days — just look around. In some areas we
may not (yet) notice the impact, whereas in others, the consequences are
obvious. Currently, the season allows me to smilingly s...
