Corporate Retrospective 2007: Jasco
JASCO Corporation was founded in Japan in 1958 to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products. By the early 1970s JASCO was developing a complete line of separation science instrumentation, including HPLC, SFE/SFC, EC, CE, and Micro-bore chromatography systems.
JASCO Corporation was founded in Japan in 1958 to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products. By the early 1970s JASCO was developing a complete line of separation science instrumentation, including HPLC, SFE/SFC, EC, CE, and Micro-bore chromatography systems. As a result of JASCO's long history and expertise in chiro-optical spectroscopy, the JASCO team was able to segue chiral technology into a series of the world's only dedicated circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion detectors. JASCO's chiral detectors complement the family of HPLC detectors, which include multi-wavelength and PDA UV/vis, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and refractive index. The patented solvent delivery pumps deliver volumes from the micro-bore range to semi-preparative with optimum flow rate precision. The chromatography systems and preparative scale super critical fluid chromatography systems are the latest innovations in the field that will allow JASCO to serve the separation scientists for many years to come.
Congratulations to LCGC North America on their 25th anniversary.

Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
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.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
