Shimadzu Wins Two Red Dot Design Awards
Shimadzu has received two Red Dot Design Awards in the product design category for its new Nexera UHPLC series LC-40 and UV-1900 UV–vis spectrophotometer.
Shimadzu (Duisburg, Germany) has received two Red Dot Design Awards in the product design category for its new Nexera UHPLC series LC-40 and UV-1900 UV–vis spectrophotometer.
The Red Dot Design Awards are one of the three major design awards in the world with Shimadzu fending off competition to claim this year’s awards. Judged based on innovation, functionality, quality, ergonomics, and durability, more than 5500 products were submitted to the product design category by manufacturers and designers from 55 countries.
The award represents the third time in the company’s history that they have won a Red Dot Design Award, having previously picked up awards in 2013 and 2018.
The award ceremony was held in Essen, Germany, on 8 July 2019. An actual Nexera series instrument and an explanatory panel showing the UV-1900 will be displayed in the city’s Red Dot Museum for the next year.

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.
