The Need for Open, Civilized, and Scientific Discussion About Responsible Shale Energy Extraction

I have written previously about occupying the middle ground in the debate over the environmental implications of unconventional oil and gas extraction (UOG) operations. It seems we are just in the right place, when we are criticized and praised at separate times by proponents of both extreme views—namely those who think UOG is perfectly safe and those who think it cannot be done without ruining the environment. read more

Validation Study of SPE of Base, Neutral and Acid Semi Volatiles in Industrial Waste Water

SPE has long been used for the analysis of semi-volatile organics in clean matrices. Due to the unique challenges inherent with waste water matrices laboratories have predominately adhered to LLE (Liquid Liquid Extraction) protocols. Attend the Webinar to see the validation study using FMS TurboTrace ABN SPE system can improve the quality and increase throughput for your laboratories extractions. View the Prerecorded Webinar

Improving GC Performance Systematically

Gas chromatographers can control several variables that affect their separations: carrier-gas flow, column temperature, column dimensions, and stationary-phase chemistry. When faced with less than optimum resolution or separation speed, a strategy of changing just one variable at a time can be more productive than trying to hit the goal in one attempt. This month's "GC Connections" examines how to use such a plan to obtain better gas chromatography results. read more
