A demonstration of emptying a waste container of a compact and portable LC system.

The Axcend Focus LC® stands out as an eco-friendly high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) due to its innovative design and sustainable features. This compact system uses significantly less solvent, consuming under 10 mL per week, and produces roughly the same amount of waste. Additionally, its energy consumption is a fraction of that of larger, bench-top LCs. By minimizing solvent use and waste production, the Axcend Focus LC not only reduces operational costs but also aligns with green analytical chemistry principles, making it an environmentally responsible choice for laboratories

Hear how Eurofins SOFIA GmbH successfully implemented the TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS into their workflow for trac contaminant analysis and increased higher sample throughput using the combination of instrumentations and software.

In this study, the suitability of the TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system was assessed for the analysis of more than 200 pesticides in black tea at trace concentrations supplemented with SPE cleanup. The linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of quantitation, and injection reproducibility of 20 selected analytes representative of the different pesticide classes in black tea matrix are demonstrated.

The benefits of the Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ GC mass spectrometer system for the analysis of trace level contaminants, such as pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are showcased.

Abacavir and Lamivudine in combination are used with other medications to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. In this technical note, we report the separation of Lamivudine from its related chiral and diastereomeric impurities in Abacavir and Lamivudine tablets per the USP monograph. The allowable adjustments pertaining to gradient separations are highlighted together with the necessary calculations that are required for the adjusted method conditions to remain compliant with the original monograph.
