Ensuring Data Integrity in the CloudThere’s a lot of interest in moving data to the cloud for security, centralization, and collaboration. Doing so, however, has implications for data integrity and audits. To understand more, we spoke to Monica Cahilly, the president and founder of Green Mountain Quality Assurance, in a podcast interview. Cahilly has more than 25 years of consulting experience, with specialized interest and enthusiasm for data integrity assurance and data governance. A short excerpt of that interview is presented here.

Take Control of ResolutionSeparation scientists may seek an optimum spot between chromatographic performance required to obtain sufficient results quality, and the time and resources needed to do so. This instalment of “GC Connections” examines the factors that control peak resolution-one of the main drivers of separation quality-and how chromatographers can use this information to find an optimum between time, cost, and performance.

The Effects of Inner Surface Roughness of Microbore Column Blanks on Column PerformanceThe efficiencies of microbore-2 columns, which are prepared from blanks that have a wide variety of inner surface roughness, drop sharply when the size of individual surface roughness features approaches the particle size of the packing material. The results suggest that two categories of packed column structure relate to the surface features and yield high and low efficiency columns. This installment of "Column Watch" discusses this conclusion in terms of the stability of an agglomerated layer of packing particles on the blank wall when subjected to shear forces during column packing.
