Markes Receives UK Trade Award
The UK Department of International Trade (DIT) has awarded Markes International with a trade accolade in recognition of its success in exporting scientific instrumentation.
The UK Department of International Trade (DIT) has awarded Markes International (Llantrisant, UK) with a trade accolade in recognition of its success in exporting scientific instrumentation.
The Board of Trade Awards, which are nominated and selected by the DIT, were this year awarded to eight Welsh businesses for showing exceptional innovation, delivering prosperity to their local communities, and championing free trade. In particular, the judging panel were impressed with Markes’s growth in the Chinese market.
This year’s awards were presented by The Rt Hon. Dr Liam Fox MP (Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade) and the Rt Hon. Alun Cairns MP (Secretary of State for Wales) at an event at Swansea University on 15 November.
“We are very proud to have received this award from DIT, and believe it stands as a testament to the many years of effort we have devoted to strengthening the profile of our analytical instrument business overseas,” said Tim Hawkins, Markes International Managing Director.
“It is particularly gratifying that the judging panel have recognized our efforts in Chinese markets, which remain a core focus of our efforts,” said Hawkins.

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.
