Thermo Fisher Scientific (San Jose, California) announced that it has been presented with the ACHEMA 2009 Innovation Award for the category of Laboratory and Analytical Techniques. The award is intended to honor the most innovative technologies and equipment at the show, which in 2009 reportedly had more than 4000 exhibitors. The company received the award for its Exactive high-resolution benchtop liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) system, which is designed for applications such as environmental analysis, drug discovery, pharmaceutical analysis, and clinical and toxicological research and analysis. According to the company, the system is compatible with ultrahigh-pressure LC.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
