Crawford Scientific (Strathaven, UK) has announced that it will become YMC Europe’s (Dinslaken, Germany) sole authorized distributor within the UK.
YMC Europe provides chromatographic solutions for compounds from discovery, through to scale-up production and in quality control.
Sam Crawford, Managing Director of Crawford Scientific, highlighted the history of mutual cooperation between the two companies stating, “It has been a pleasure working with YMC for the past 10 years. This next step strengthens our partnership, and underlines the commitment from both companies, to delivering commercial and technical excellence in LC column supply in Great Britain.”
Crawford Scientific has provided analytical scientists across the UK with consumables, columns, and technical support since 1985. This streamlining of commercial supply from YMC in combination with the added technical support represents a strengthening of presence within the UK for both companies.

Determining Neurotransmitters in Spinal Cords with UHPLC
February 18th 2025Researchers at Jilin University (Changchun, China) developed a highly sensitive, rapid, and accurate method for analyzing neurotransmitters (NTs) in rat spinal cord tissue. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) in conjunction with ultra-ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (UA-MIL-DLLME) were used to extract NTs for analysis.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Revolutionizing LC-MS with Next-Gen Separation for Cyclic Peptide Analysis
February 17th 2025Cyclic peptides, known for their stability and high specificity, are promising therapeutic agents in the fight against cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. However, developing effective cyclic peptides presents numerous challenges, including poor pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and toxicity. Traditional methods like liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) often struggle with resolving isomeric linear peptide metabolites, posing significant risks in safety, efficacy, and regulatory approval. In this paper, Komal Kedia, PhD, will share how she leveraged MOBIE’s high-resolution ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) system to achieve a 72% reduction in run times, 200% greater resolving power, and enhanced accuracy in identifying “soft spots” prone to enzymatic degradation.
