The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spec: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025MOBILion has introduced a new high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) approach that can increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. The parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation (PAMAF) approach substantially increases the fraction of ions used for MS analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high-resolution ion mobility.
