Peak Scientific has been awarded the “Best New Exporter to China Award” at the British Business Awards, held in Shanghai by the British Chamber of Commerce.
Peak was awarded the accolade because it was judged to have met several key business criteria within the Chinese market, including, identifying a target market, growing export volume, adapting to meet the specific requirements of the Chinese market, creating a sustainable business model, and making an impact on industry as well as key influencers in China.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Peak General Manager for China, Chris Harvey, said: “The team in China have been growing steadily in the 4 years I have been at Peak. This award can be attributed to a lot of hard work both in China and with the great support and close interaction we have with our Global Headquarters in Glasgow, Scotland, in addition to Peak’s great product and business model.”
Building on their success in China, Peak Scientific is planning new dedicated offices in other key regions such as Beijing and Guangzhou to better serve customers based there.

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
