A NOVEL evaporative methodology for mass spectroscopic (MS) analysis, replacing solid phase extraction (SPE) for preparing environmental samples, is described in a paper available from Genevac. In recent years high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry – or HPLC/MS/MS…
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat pain and reduce inflammation in humans and animals, which is implicated in the dramatic decline in scavenger species in some parts of the world. A traditional method of livestock carcass disposal…
Environmental laboratory productivity can be ‘significantly improved’ using the Rocket Synergy evaporator, says Genevac. Developed to quickly process large-volume environmental samples, in parallel and without supervision, Rocket Synergy can concentrate or dry 18 ASE tubes or up to six large-volume…
SP SCIENTIFIC offers a wide range of compact and quiet recirculating chillers with heat removal rates from 1050 to 24,000W and temperature ranges from -90C to +150C. The company says an optimised SP Scientific chiller is available to suit most…
FINDING and isolating new flavour molecules from natural sources is a complex and laborious process, yet the rewards for finding such a molecule make the effort worthwhile. A new technical article from Genevac details how its HT-24 centrifugal evaporation system…
THERE’S no doubt in my mind about the, erm, hottest story in science this week – although I have already given up hope of ever properly understanding it. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany,…
SP SCIENTIFIC says that its ControLyo nucleation on-demand technology can now be retrofitted to a wide range of production freeze dryers. The technology was originally developed and patented by Praxair, and licensed by SP for use on development freeze dryers…
A NEW microsite dedicated to its EZ-2 series evaporators has been launched by Genevac. The EZ-2 is a series of compact, benchtop, personal evaporators which accurately control vacuum and temperature to enable rapid evaporation of a wide range of solvents…
ACCELERATED solvent extraction (ASE) is a well-known method to greatly speed up the concentration of semi-solid and solid samples by employing elevated temperatures and pressures to remove solvents more quickly than would otherwise be possible. Genevac has now launched a…
GENEVAC outlines the significant operational benefits that can be found when its miVac sample concentrator is used instead of a ‘blowdown’ evaporation system. Blowdown evaporators remove solvent (as their name suggests) by blowing inert gas into open sample vessels. They…
