Event Review: Experts Visit Sample Pretreatment Instrument Manufacturers
The Chinese Instrument and Control Society, together with the Chinese Chromatography Network, organized an event called “Experts Visit the Instrument Manufacturers,†which was held May 20-23, 2013, and focused on research in sample preparation.
The Chinese Instrument and Control Society, together with the Chinese Chromatography Network, organized an event called “Experts Visit the Instrument Manufacturers” which was held May 20-23, 2013, and focused on research in sample preparation. This program covered technical problems encountered by manufacturers of sample preparation instruments, research into new methods and systems, and domestic and international standards used in sample preparation.
The goal was to build a communication platform between experts, instrument manufacturers, and end-users, and to provide criteria for evaluating and improving scientific instruments. A total of five enterprises participated: Suzhou Microbial Technology Co. Ltd., Suzhou Huitong Chromatographic Separation and Purification Co. Ltd., Shanghai Yuefeng Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Shanghai Xinyi Microwave Chemical Technology Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Yi Yao Instrument Technology Development Co. Ltd.

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.
