Metrohm launches the 940 Professional IC Vario, the new high-performance ion chromatography system for research applications and routine use. The 940 Professional IC Vairo is Metrohm?s most versatile IC system yet.
The 940 Professional IC Vario is Metrohm’s most versatile IC system yet. Selecting from a complete set of components and accessories, users have virtually unlimited possibilities to put together any IC system they need and want to meet their specific requirements. The options are manifold:
Suppression: sequential, chemical or no suppression
Detection: conductivity, UV/VIS, amperometric
Gradients: high pressure, low-pressure, Dose-in
Separation: columns of any base material, selectivity, capacity, and dimension (length and diameter)
Any 940 Professional IC Vario system can be extended and upgraded at any time with several versions of the new 942 Extension Module Vario, the 943 Professional Thermostat/Reactor Vario, as well as comprehensive options for Liquid Handling and automation.
The 940 Professional IC Vario provides maximum reliability of both the system itself and the analytical results produced. The 940 Professional IC Vario is self-monitoring; all system and method parameters are permanently checked against the respective limits and standards. Results can be traced back to every single step of the analysis including sample preparation, making users perfectly prepared for even the toughest audits. The 940 Professional IC Vario is controlled by MagIC Net, the proven Metrohm software for ion chromatography.

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.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
