LCGC TV: Screening Environmental Pollutants in Water Samples
Anthony Gravell of Natural Resources Wales describes a recent study comparing passive sampling with spot sampling to determine pollutants (including PAHs) in drinking water zones in England and Wales.
Protein SEC made simple
Malvern Instruments has released an update to their OmniSEC GPC/SEC software. Selectable "polymers" or "proteins" user interfaces with simplified workflows and integration with Waters Empower® improving productivity. For total confidence in your macromolecular characterization, it’s now even easier to incorporate the Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 detector into your existing system to determine absolute molecular weight with no tedious calibration.
