Malvern Instruments (Westborough, Massachusetts) has more than doubled the size of its web seminar program. The company has scheduled more than 120 web events for 2009 in the area of materials characterization products and related applications. Presenters include specialists from the company’s product and applications teams and guest presenters from other organizations. Topics range from basic techniques to sophisticated applications, and the presentations are available delivered in various languages. Topics scheduled for June include laser diffraction/particle sizing, light scattering measurements of protein samples, size-exclusion chromatography for chitosan analysis, protein aggregation detection, rheological and microstructural characterization, and gel permeation chromatography analysis of the transport and diffusion of actives in targeted drug delivery.
Altering Capillary Gas Chromatography Systems Using Silicon Pneumatic Microvalves
May 5th 2025Many multi-column gas chromatography systems use two-position multi-port switching valves, which can suffer from delays in valve switching. Shimadzu researchers aimed to create a new sampling and switching module for these systems.
Characterizing Polyamides Using Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography
May 5th 2025Polyamides can be difficult to characterize, despite their use in various aspects of everyday life. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam researchers hoped to address this using a reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-based approach.
New Method Explored for the Detection of CECs in Crops Irrigated with Contaminated Water
April 30th 2025This new study presents a validated QuEChERS–LC-MS/MS method for detecting eight persistent, mobile, and toxic substances in escarole, tomatoes, and tomato leaves irrigated with contaminated water.
University of Tasmania Researchers Explore Haloacetic Acid Determiniation in Water with capLC–MS
April 29th 2025Haloacetic acid detection has become important when analyzing drinking and swimming pool water. University of Tasmania researchers have begun applying capillary liquid chromatography as a means of detecting these substances.
