Worldwide strategic alliance for non-chiral chromatography
Novasep and instrAction have entered into an alliance that will offer customers in the pharmaceutical industry a combination of instrAction?s proprietary API-selective stationary phases and Novasep?s purification capabilities and high performance chromatography technologies.
Novasep and instrAction have entered into an alliance that will offer customers in the pharmaceutical industry a combination of instrAction’s proprietary API-selective stationary phases and Novasep’s purification capabilities and high performance chromatography technologies. Together, the companies aim to develop and operate or supply optimized large-scale chromatography processes for purifying synthetic and semi-synthetic compounds.
“With the ever-increasing complexity of pharmaceutical compounds, traditional purification processes including crystallization, and even normal or reversed-phase chromatography, are often too expensive, and, worse, ineffective,” says René De Vaumas, executive vice president in charge of Novasep Synthesis’ business development.
“We believe that together, instrAction and Novasep will develop solutions that will provide great improvement in the purification of a number of pharmaceutical compounds,” said Dr Thomas Schwarz, CEO of instrAction GmbH. “Moreover, we believe that our joint approach with a single point of contact and streamlined project management will help reduce process development timelines.”

HPLC 2025 Preview: Fundamentally Speaking (Part 1)
May 13th 2025Michael Lämmerhofer from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tübingen, Germany, spoke to JFK Huber Lecture Award winner of 2024 Torgny Fornstedt, professor in analytical chemistry and leader of the Fundamental Separation Science Group, Karlstad University, Sweden, about his pioneering work in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a focus on fundamentals and industrial applications.
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.
Determining Ways to Protect Honeybee Colonies with GC–MS
May 13th 2025A study conducted by the Agriculture Research Centre of Giza, Egypt, and Jilin Agricultural University in China, evaluated the efficacy of stinging nettle extract, nettle smoke, and formic acid in the controlling of Varroa mites, a major threat to honeybee colonies, with a focus on mite infestation reduction, honeybee mortality, and biochemical responses. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to identify key bioactive compounds in the stinging nettle extract.
