Application Notes: General
Oasis or Sand Dune? Isolation of Psychedelic Compounds
January 20th 2025Magic mushrooms, once taboo, have recently experienced a renaissance. This new awakening is partially due to new findings that indicate the effects of psilocybin, and its dephosphorylated cousin psilocin may produce long lasting results for patients who might be struggling with anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Hamilton Company has developed a methodology for the isolation and identification of 5 common psychedelic compounds used in the potential treatment of disease. The PRP-1 HPLC column resin remains stable in the harsh alkaline conditions ideal for better separations.
GPCRs – The Biological Traffic Modulator: Chromatographic Analysis of Peptides in the GI Tract
January 20th 2025The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are found throughout the entire body and have shown significance in the development of new therapeutic treatments. Isolation of seven classic GRPC peptides initiating in the GI tract highlights the benefits of using the polymer-based PRP-3, a reversed-phase resin. The covalent bonds found in the PRP-3 exhibit advantageous interactions between the biological π bonds found in the peptides and the available aromatic benzyl rings of the resin.
LC/MS Based Characterization Workflow of GLP-1 Therapeutic Peptide Liraglutide and Its Impurities
January 14th 2025This application note demonstrates a liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC/Q-TOF MS) workflow for the identification and characterization of therapeutic peptides.
Frontage Laboratories Streamlines their Product Lifecycle Management with NuGenesis™ LMS
January 9th 2025Frontage laboratories wanted to improve the efficiency and quality of their operations and invest in ways to streamline their workflows. They implemented Waters NuGenesis™ Lab Management System (LMS) to progress their digital transformation journey and combine synergistic data, workflow, and sample management capabilities to support the entire product lifecycle from discovery through manufacturing.

How Lab Ecosystem Integration is Critical for Digital Transformation
December 12th 2024Agilent and Scitara are collaborating not only to increase the efficiency of laboratory processes, but to enable customers to leverage the value of the data for various stakeholders. This paper will present an ecosystem designed to support enterprises in accelerating data workflows and improving data availability for researchers, lab analysts, and data scientists.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Dec 2024)
December 11th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real-time.
Real-Time Roadside Monitoring of Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport by SIFT-MS (Dec 2024)
December 11th 2024This application note summarizes key SIFT-MS results presented in a peer reviewed article entitled “Unreported VOC Emissions from Road Transport Including from Electric Vehicles.” Learn how the Wolfson Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory at the University of York used SIFT-MS for VOC analysis in its platform to experimentally verify that motor vehicle screen wash is a significant unreported source of VOC emissions (especially for ethanol and methanol).
