APP NAME: LC/GC Checker
OFFERED BY: David Baumgartner
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.3.3 and up); iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 6.0 or later; optimized for iPhone 5)
WHAT IT DOES: The LC/GC Checker app is designed to provide four approaches to check an LC or GC instrument's performance. According to the company, it calculates the LC pump flow rate by stop watching the time of the eluent level in a volumetric flask, calculates the GC carrier gas flow based on the column dimension and retention time of a non-retained compound, and assists in measuring flow and temperature accuracy and precision. The app's IP Checker function calculates the injection precision of retention times, peak heights, or areas for repeated analyses.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
