Slideshow: Seven Common Faux Pas in Modern HPLC
Seven outdated traditional practices that should not be performed without considering alternative approaches that can improve results, provide lower operation costs, or give faster run times. Instead of working harder, analytical scientists should work smarter. Learn more by clicking through the slideshow.
Looking to Eliminate Problems associated with Sample Preparation?
Although automating analytical techniques has become status quo, sample preparation is still considered to be the bottleneck of the laboratories processes. Learn how automation can reduce labor and time, increase recoveries and produce consistent, reproducible results. If this and cutting sample preparation costs is important to your laboratory review the new From Sample to Vial Automated Sample Prep Solutions notebook

Investigating Yeast Products in Sparkling Wine Production
A team of researchers in Spain has examined the use of commercial yeast products in the production of white and rosé sparkling wines. Using a range of analytical techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the team examined four yeast autolysates to find out how they affect the chemical composition, foam, and sensory properties of sparkling wines aged on lees for 9 months.
