Increase Productivity and Reduce Helium Use with Restek’s Expanded Line of LPGC Columns
With the launch of new phases and dimensions, Restek’s LPGC column kits open the door to improved productivity and cost savings for a wide range of industries and applications. The analytical and restrictor columns are factory connected, providing a reliable, robust, and simplified workflow solution that is proven to be leak tight. Labs can increase sample throughput with up to 3.3x faster analyses and save money by reducing helium consumption by up to 81%. LPGC column kits are in stock for immediate shipment and supported by predeveloped methods for pesticides, phthalates, arylamines, alkylfurans, nitrosamines, and MCPDs with more applications on the way. Easy installation, consistent performance, and dramatic gains in speed and savings make LPGC column kits the most effective way for labs to implement LPGC-MS and benefit from this powerful technique.

The Next Frontier for Mass Spec: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025MOBILion has introduced a new high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) approach that can increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. The parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation (PAMAF) approach substantially increases the fraction of ions used for MS analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high-resolution ion mobility.
The Intricacies 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.
