Thermo Fisher Scientific and Symyx Technologies have collaborated to offer Thermo Scientific’s chromatography data system integration solution on Symyx Technologies’ electronic laboratory notebook.
According to the company, this integration allows users to drive their laboratory business processes from an integrated solution, eliminating repetitious entry of information and providing live interaction of chromatography data and, ultimately, increasing throughput. It is claimed that users can design and drive chromatography experiments within the interface, providing customers with the ability to expand the capabilities of their existing data system, connecting sample preparation data with chromatography. This gives users the ability to access data directly from a multitude of disparate instruments through one interface. In addition, the solution is reported to facilitate analytical method development and allows users to streamline chromatographic analysis across their organization.
“This solution benefits the market by providing a truly integrated solution,” explains Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager, Informatics at Thermo. He says that the integration means that the company can now provide “an integrated LIMS-CDS-ELN solution. This enables both an efficient laboratory process and the flow of information from the laboratory to the rest of the organization, allowing management to have the information they need to drive critical business objectives.”

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.
Investigating Plastic Contamination in Olive Oil with GC–MS/MS
January 17th 2025The objective of this study was to investigate contamination by 32 plasticizers in olive oil throughout its production and packaging process. Separation and detection were carried out by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS), without the need for pre-concentration steps.
