Fluid Management Systems
Automated One Step Solid Phase Extraction and Concentration The FMS PowerPrep SPE system is the first total sample prep technology to combine SPE extraction and concentration into one step. The system is designed to simplify, improve, and increase productivity by automating the manual steps of the laboratory's sample preparation processes. The PowerPrep SPE system accepts all SPE cartridge and column formats. The system is expandable from 1 to 6 modules and can run up to 6 samples simultaneously and 30 sequentially.

PUPPET CHEMISTRY.
Check out this puppet video from Agilent Technologies. Four clueless lab scientists make one big mistake-they tell their boss they didn’t buy the new Agilent 1200 Infinity Series. Then create and share a customized puppet movie featuring you and your colleagues. The Agilent 1200 Infinity Series offers a continuum of future-proof, compatible and upgradeable UHPLC solutions for any application or budget. www.puppetchemistry.com

Ultralow Quantification of Pesticides in Baby Food
The safety of the food that our children eat is a global concern. Regulations are in place that limit the maximum level of pesticides that can be present in food meant for children, and methods to detect levels well below those limits are needed to ensure the safety of the food supply.

Advances in TOF-MS-Based Screening for Food Safety Residue Analysis with a Positive Approach
Mass spectrometry plays an increasingly significant role in the analysis of residues and contaminants in food. Here we will illustrate how the combination of ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and high-resolution time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) is used to generate a screen of veterinary drug residues in products of animal origin.

Featured Application Note
 
Development of a High-Throughput LC/MS/MS Assay for 13 Commonly Prescribed Pain Management Drugs from Urine with Cleanup Using Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
Utilizing the ultra-high efficiency provided by core-shell technology columns, thirteen pain management opioids were resolved in 1.5 minutes with one second wide peaks at base on a Kinetex(tm) C18 2.6 μm 50 x 2.1 mm column. Sensitivity, reproducibility and productivity are dramatically improved after efficient sample cleanup and concentration using Strata(tm)-X-C SPE. The combined SPE LC/MS/MS analysis provides significant reductions in analysis time, labor requirements, and cost per sample while increasing sensitivity, accuracy and precision.

Micropacked columns for gas chromatography
Shinwa Chemical Industries’ micropacked GC columns are designed to provide rapid analyses of mixtures of permanent and light hydrocarbon gases. According to the company, the columns can be used in capillary GC and GC/MS systems, and enable analyses of permanent gases without cryogenic cooling. In addition, the columns are not affected by water vapor in samples (water is not eluted as a peak), have higher loading capacities than PLOT capillary columns, possess excellent thermal stability, and are rapidly equilibrating.
