Microchip Biotechnologies Inc. (Dublin, California) has won a $625,000 U.S. Army contract for development of technology to rapidly detect, identify, and diagnose biological threats. The company will develop a universal sample preparation module that will incorporate its system for preparing DNA samples for analysis. The funding is part of a new program to help companies supported by the government’s Small Business Innovation Research Program to commercialize products that meet high-priority Army requirements.
Study Explores Thin-Film Extraction of Biogenic Amines via HPLC-MS/MS
March 27th 2025Scientists from Tabriz University and the University of Tabriz explored cellulose acetate-UiO-66-COOH as an affordable coating sorbent for thin film extraction of biogenic amines from cheese and alcohol-free beverages using HPLC-MS/MS.
Multi-Step Preparative LC–MS Workflow for Peptide Purification
March 21st 2025This article introduces a multi-step preparative purification workflow for synthetic peptides using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The process involves optimizing separation conditions, scaling-up, fractionating, and confirming purity and recovery, using a single LC–MS system. High purity and recovery rates for synthetic peptides such as parathormone (PTH) are achieved. The method allows efficient purification and accurate confirmation of peptide synthesis and is suitable for handling complex preparative purification tasks.
