Lab Innovations, the UK’s only event dedicated to laboratory professionals, will be held from 2–3 November 2016, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK. It will feature an extensive conference programme and highlight a wealth of industry suppliers.
The show boasts an expanded show floor, with more than 120 exhibiting companies on board, including JSB UK, Strata Technology, Sci-Tek Instruments, Analytix, Buchi UK, Metrohm, and ESSLAB. Many of these companies will be using the show to present their latest products to the UK market
Participants at Lab Innovations will also be able to attend a fourâstream series of free, thought-provoking sessions, totalling more than 35 h of professional content that will seek to tackle the most important and up-toâdate laboratory issues. As part of this, The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) will be hosting its two-day conference in its own dedicated theatre. This will feature Jim Al-Khalili, British scientist, theorist, author, and broadcaster, and Greg Foot, science presenter for the BBC, as keynote presenters.
The RSC programme will include plenty of specialist content too. For instance, from a chromatography perspective, wrapping up the first day on the RSC Theatre will be Diane Turner, Senior Consultant and Director at Anthias Consultants. Her training presentation, “Sampling Methods - Splendid, Salubrious, Succinct, or Just Simple?,” will give attendees a taste of the different sampling and sample preparation methods that can be automated onto a gas chromatograph and will include a discussion on how to select the best technique for your application.
Campden BRI, the UK’s largest independent food and drink research body, will also have its own theatre, featuring three presentations on each day and exploring core areas of activity from the food and beverage manufacturing industry, including microbiology, chemistry, and sensory. Its final session will be presented by David Bellis, Analyst - Chromatography, and Danielle Cawdron, Packaging Group Managet at Campden BRI. The session, “From the Lab to the Label: Salt, Sodium, and other Elements,” will explain how food is measured and labelled before exploring element profiles of food, showing where it has come from and what it claims to be. They will also analyze how food is tested for good elements, like selenium and iodine, and for those that are toxic, such as lead and mercury.

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.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
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.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
