Spartan Bioscience Announces Agreement with NorDiag ASA
Spartan Bioscience (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and markets DNA analyzers for on-demand applications, and NorDiag ASA (Oslo, Norway), a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets automated nucleic acid sample preparation instruments and magnetic bead–based reagents for assays that require the purification of nucleic acid from clinical samples such as urine, feces, sputum, and tissue, announced that they have signed a joint collaboration agreement with the intention of developing an end-to-end DNA preparation and analysis system.
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.
