Rapid separation LC systems for food characterization purchased
India?s National Institute of Nutrition, located in Hyderabad, India, has purchased eight rapid separation liquid chromatography systems from Dionex.
India’s National Institute of Nutrition, located in Hyderabad, India, has purchased eight rapid separation liquid chromatography systems from Dionex. According to the company, these systems will be used in the analysis of amino acids and carotenoids in food derived from different regions of India.
The National Institute of Nutrition is reported to be the Government of India’s premier nutrition research institute with the mission to provide dedicated research that will enable food and nutrition security as described in the nutrition goals set by them.
The company claims that the systems that the institute has purchased will provide fast, high-resolution LC separations using high flow-rates for increased throughput. Their combination of extensive pressure range, high flow-rates and fast data collection is reported to facilitate high peak capacity in short run times.

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.
