Peak Scientific has given a guided tour of their manufacturing headquarters in Inchinnan, Scotland, to his Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester to mark the company’s 20th anniversary
The recipients of six Queen’s awards for enterprise since 2004, Peak Scientific are well known to members of the royal family, having previously received a royal visit in 2013 from her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, who opened the Cherry Tree House-an extension of Peak Scientific’s headquarters.
The Duke toured Peak’s factory learning about the process of producing laboratory gas generators, and also met with the workforce to learn about the ethos of the company and its history.
“We were honoured to welcome The Duke of Gloucester to our headquarters in celebration of our 20th anniversary. To have our hard work of the past two decades recognized in this way was truly heart-warming, and will remain a proud moment in Peak Scientific’s history,” said Robin MacGeachy, Peak Scientific’s CEO.

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.
