The LCGC Blog: Mass Spectrometry-Based Bacterial Identification in the Environment
Kevin A. Schug discusses how matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is actually one of the most versatile tools for fingerprinting mixtures.
Tubing flanging without heat
The Easy-Flange® kit allows the perfect flanging of fluoropolymer tubing like PTFE, ETFE, FEP or PFA with ODs between 1/16" and 1/8" by mechanical force without heat or electric power. Learn more
The Modulator in Comprehensive LC×LC
The interface between the two separation dimensions is a key element of any comprehensive LC×LC system. Recent innovations in areas such as temperature manipulation and thermal modulation have opened up the possibilities of non-valve-based LC×LC and other less conventional methods for performing LC×LC separations. This article explores the variety of commonly used modulators, paying specific attention to focusing modulators.
ACQUITY QDa Detector
What happens if you miss a peak or co-elution in your sample? How much more could you do if you could speed up method development? How do you see analytes with no UV chromaphore?
By adding mass data to your separations you can prevent sample components from going undetected (without outsourcing to other labs) and reduce workflow times significantly. Achieve more everyday and become a chromatography hero! Learn more
LCGC TV: Pesticide Residue Analysis: High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)
The ability to analyze samples retrospectively can improve a laboratory's day-to-day analyses. Christina Robb from The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station explains the benefits of HRMS and why it should not be thought of as just another detector.
