Colloidal Crystals Enter Trial Separation
Royal Society of Chemistry reports that a research team from the University of Arizona, Tuscan has showed that the separation ability of colloidal crystal was superior to that of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The researchers are testing its potential for separating more complex mixtures of peptides and proteins.

Colloidal crystals made of self-assembling silica particles are highly effective at separating a variety of different compounds on a very small scale. The particles use separation mechanisms associated with both electrophoresis and chromatography.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
