EcoSEC – the new semi-micro GPC/SEC system – goes on tour. PSS and Tosoh Bioscience cordially invite to join the International EcoSEC Road Show with live presentations about modern GPC/SEC solutions.
The tour starts in March in Basel, and will take place in 8 different places throughout Europe. Participation is free of charge. Information on the International EcoSEC Road Show 2010 can be downloaded on the website www.ecosec.eu.
Revolutionary dual flow detector technology, less solvent consumption, increased sensitivity & shorter analysis times
EcoSEC is a compact all–in–one system for high throughput analysis of natural or synthetic polymers by semi-micro GPC/SEC. EcoSEC combines high quality system compounds in an integrated modular solution.
Technical highlights like integrated auto sampler, temperature controlled solvent delivery system, dual flow RI detector for stable RI baseline together with the low system dead volume fulfill all hardware requirements for improved resolution and sensitivity in GPC analysis. EcoSEC can be upgraded with a column switching valve and UV, viscosity and light scattering detectors. The PSS WinGPC software controls the entire system and performs data acquisition and GPC data analysis.
TSK-GEL semi-micro GPC columns are ideally suited to be combined with EcoSEC, as semi-micro GPC offers additional benefits like shorter analysis times, less sample and solvent consumption and even higher separation efficiency.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
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.
