Myths in UHPLC
The advent of ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and its successful commercialization in the last few years has brought forth a modern high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) platform capable of higher speed, resolution, precision, and sensitivity. Currently, all major HPLC manufacturers offer some type of low-dispersion UHPLC products with upper pressure limits ranging from 15,000 to 19,000 psi (1000 to 1300 bar). This article describes a number of popular myths or half-truths in UHPLC and provides data that contradict or even repudiate some of these commonly held beliefs. More...

Maintain your Methods, Prolong your Helium Supply, and Save Your Budget with an Innovative Helium Solution
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
10:00 am CST/ 11:00 am EST/ 16:00 GMT.
In this web seminar, we discuss a simple and safe helium solution that enables you to continue your analyses while keeping your methods intact, validation-effective, and regulation-compliant while alleviating helium supply concerns and extensive supply costs. Learn how this technology optimizes the flow and usage of helium when your instrument is idle, as well as during the analytical run, to eliminate potential waste typically observed in standard GC operations. Find out how to extend the lifetime of one helium cylinder to over 14 years under certain conditions and experience significant savings in both helium supply needs and financial costs throughout the lifetime of your GC-MS instrument. |
