Core-Shell Particles: How do they Work?
April 18th 2013Fabrice Gritti of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee, USA) discusses results from his and Georges Guiochon's research on the kinetic mechanisms of chromatography columns packed with core-shell particles.
Psychoactive drugs alter fish behaviour
April 18th 2013Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) was used to identify the concentrations of psychoactive drugs in water and fish from the River Fyris (Uppsala, Sweden) Scientists from Umeå University, Sweden, published the findings in Science earlier this year.1
Thermo Fisher partners with University of Birmingham
April 18th 2013Thermo Fisher Scientific (California, USA) has announced the formation of a Technology Alliance Partner agreement with the University of Birmingham (Birmingham, UK) to further research in high-resolution accurate mass and triple quadrupole liquid chromatography?mass spectrometry (LC?MS).
Eating aromatic rice reduces arsenic exposure
April 18th 2013Exposure to environmental arsenic (As) is a worldwide issue, especially in locations where rice is the main calorific content in the diet. Eating aromatic rice reduces environmental arsenic intake, according to results published in the journal of Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma?mass spectrometry (HPLC?ICP?MS).
Improving the Ion Chromatography Fluid Pathway
April 18th 2013Ion chromatography (IC) is an important analysis tool for chromatographers. Typically, emphasis is placed on the hardware components and chemistry to achieve the ideal level of separation. However, the flow path itself is often overlooked, and there are some relatively simple steps that can be taken to ensure that the system's flow path positively affects the overall chromatographic results achieved.
