Reagents promise more detection stability in LC/MS
THREE new liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) grade reagents from Thermo Fisher are said to exhibit the lowest ionic metal content, in order to minimise background noise and enhance MS detection. The new additions to the Optima range are acetic acid,…
Thermo Fisher’s latest invention: water
ULTRA High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) is a powerful separation technique involving high pressure (around 350bar, 5000psi or more) and small stationary phase particles of typically 2um or smaller. It also requires a solvent, of course. Thermo Fisher has introduced…
Faster access to pure chiral compounds with screening kits
ORGANIC chemists can expect fast and easy access to optically-pure chiral compounds from their racemic mixtures when using the new Maybridge Chiral Resolution Screening and Purification Kits, says Thermo Fisher. Under normal circumstance, it can take days or even weeks…
C8 column offers lower hydrophobic retention
THE NEWEST member of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Accucore range of HPLC columns, the C8, has a shorter alkyl length bonded phase than the equivalent C18 phase. This gives lower hydrophobic retention and, says Thermo, enhances chromatographic performance without generating excessive…
Electrochemistry meter handles four channels at once
THE NEW Versa Star meter, made by Thermo Scientific and available from Cole-Parmer, offers versatility for multiple uses in advanced electrochemistry metering. Fully modular to be configured as needed, and with up to five parameter modules available, the Thermo Scientific…
Autosampler accessory streamlines IC workflows
BY AUTOMATING inline pre-injection measurements of conductivity and pH, the Dionex AS-AP Sample Conductivity and pH Accessory from Thermo Fisher Scientific will save users substantial time and effort, as well as providing more consistent results than manual methods, the company…
Syringe filters promise better sample prep
A REVAMPED range of single-use syringe filters from Thermo Fisher should make sample preparation in the laboratory more reliable process. Previously known as the Sun-Sri Titan2 and National Scientific Target ranges, the new Titan3 and Target2 filter ranges have been…
Seminars address EU Water Framework Directive
A SERIES of seminars being held in European cities in 2012 will focus on the EU Water Framework Directive and the recent changes it has made to regulations covering water analysis across the continent. These have important ramifications for laboratories…
Safe ergonomic storage of cryo tubes
A NEW storage rack for Thermo Fisher 2ml and 5ml Nunc Cryobank tubes rack is suitable for use with both manual pipetting and robotic systems, thanks to its removable lid. The company says that other racks usually lock into place,…
