Degassing Mobile Phase Solvents
December 6th 2010: [?]Are in-line degassers on modern instruments (Waters and Agilent) sufficient to degas HPLC solvents for on-line mixing of gas saturated organic and aqueous solvents? What about the personal observation of the effect of pre-degassing mobile phase components? Are reproducible data available on the rate of resaturation of air into common HPLC solvents?
HPLC and the Future of Elastic Electronics
December 3rd 2010Scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) have been undergoing a series of studies to learn more about the creation of thin layers of highly ordered polymers and how spectroscopy and HPLC can be used to create organic and elastic electronics.
Synthesis Quality Control Using an Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
December 2nd 2010Improvement of reaction yield and chemical compound purity checks are typical control tasks in chemical synthesis quality control. Since speed is becoming increasingly important, commonly used techniques are becoming more and more overburdened. Thus, fast chromatography coupled with fast and reliable mass spectrometry is highly desirable.
