Corporate Retrospective 2007: Gilson
Designed for purification and engineered for science, Gilson, Inc. provides high quality, dependable purification solutions for your demanding liquid chromatography, solid phase extraction, liquid handling and gel permeation chromatography clean-up requirements.
Designed for purification and engineered for science, Gilson, Inc. provides high quality, dependable purification solutions for your demanding liquid chromatography, solid phase extraction, liquid handling and gel permeation chromatography clean-up requirements. From our pipetting products to a full range of HPLC system solutions focusing on purification to the broadest automated SPE and GPC clean-up solutions, Gilson is the element of purification for your laboratory.
Gilson was established in the 1940s, when Dr. Gilson, while a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, began to design and develop specialized medical electronics and instruments that were not commercially available. One of his first efforts produced a Cathode Ray Recorder, an 18" moving paper camera to record images from a cathode ray tube. It was later used around the world in cardiac catheterization labs. By the early 1950s, Gilson was developing electroencephalographs, oxygraphs and physiological recorders.
Gilson has worldwide sales and service supporting the pharmaceutical, biotech, environmental, clinical, and food markets. Our primary focus is on purifying samples via preparative HPLC, automated SPE or through GPC clean-up. Gilson complies with early drug discovery and development through our preparative HPLC systems. And the Gilson automated SPE systems are focused on supporting environmental, food and clinical markets with our GPC clean-up systems targeted on the environmental and food markets performing a wide variety of clean-up applications.
Gilson, Inc. world headquarters is located in Middleton, WI and is responsible for research, development and manufacturing of all Gilson instrumentation and software in addition to providing direct sales to the U.S. for all Gilson Pipetting (manual liquid handling) products. Gilson S.A.S., located outside of Paris, France is responsible for all development and manufacturing of Gilson Pipetting products. Gilson International B.V., located in Netherlands, provides Gilson sales and support to the European countries.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
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.
