Convert to Hydrogen as a Carrier Gas
The global shortage of helium has caused prices to increase significantly. Many GC users are considering switching to hydrogen as a carrier gas. Hydrogen provides many advantages over helium including, higher resolution, shorter run times, longer column life, and cost savings. Many instrument manufacturers now provide resources to make switching carrier gas easier. This How To Guide will take you through the steps necessary to convert from helium to hydrogen as a carrier gas for Gas Chromatography. Click here.

New LC Purification Solution
How can purity and yield be optimized with one LC system? Mining and enrichment in discovery are demanding tasks. Isolating product-related impurities or developing efficient purification processes can also be very laborious. The new lab-scale gradient-capable purification solution Contichrom® can ease the pain. It supports up-scaling from batch to continuous LC, allowing 50% higher yields and purity and up to 10 times more throughput. Learn more.

Maximize Laboratory Productivity Using Streamlined Gas Chromatography Workflows that Automate Sample Preparation, Injection, and Data Acquisition
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
11:00 AM EST; 8:00 AM PST
True laboratory productivity is only achieved by integrating the capabilities of a chromatography data system that controls multiple hardware platforms, and offers powerful data processing tools, with the recent improvements in GC instrumentation design that extend the capabilities of GC laboratories. In this webinar, we present new methodologies for tailoring the software and hardware configuration to the application. These streamlined environmental and petrochemical workflows automate sample preparation and all the software operations, such as integration, calibrations, and calculations to deliver ease-of-use and laboratory productivity.

Editors' Series: UHPLC: Where We Might Go
Thursday, November 8, 2012
11:00 AM EST; 8:00 AM PST
Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) columns today are 5 to 15 cm long, packed with sub-2-micron particles, and operated with upper pressure limits of 15,000 to 18,000 psi. In comparison to HPLC, current UHPLC instrumentation has emphasized separation speed over separation efficiency. Analysis times are often 3 to 5 times faster in UHPLC, while separation efficiencies are generally comparable to or somewhat higher than HPLC.
