Knauer and his wife launched the namesake company in October 1962.

Blood and sputum are the most common means of detection by diagnostic tests, but producing adequate sputum can be difficult given a dry cough is often a TB symptom.

Because the biophysical and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood plasma are often greatly altered in monoclonal gammopathy, conventional mass spectrometry measurements can be limited.

Kaveh Kahen returns to Phenomenex parent Danaher Life Sciences after having begun his career at SCIEX.

Weronika Hewelt-Belka, an assistant professor at Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland, answers questions about her research analyzing GM3 gangliosides in human milk, elucidating their molecular distribution and dynamic changes throughout lactation.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was paired with both diode array and fluorescence detection (DAD and FLD, respectively) to measure Edam cheese for its total and acid-soluble whey content.

The process was assisted by pH-dependent acid-base partitioning coupled with salting-out-assisted liquid-liquid extraction (LLE).

This study of the perennial herb also known as madimak (or Indian knotgrass) aimed to simultaneously determine phenolic compounds to gain more insights into their antioxidant or antimicrobial capabilities.

A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone rubber band sampler was used to collect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the skin of both tuberculosis (TB)-positive and TB-negative subjects.

Herbert Knauer founded his namesake laboratory equipment company with his wife Roswitha in Berlin in 1962.

LCGC and Spectroscopy Editor Patrick Lavery spoke with Oligo Factory CEO Chris Boggess about the company’s recently attained compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Expert Working Group (Q7) guidance and its distinction from Research Use Only (RUO) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13485 designations.

The UK-based Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) has announced its two 2024 recipients of its most prestigious honor, the Martin Medal, in addition to three professors who have been chosen for the organization’s Silver Jubilee Medal.

In addition, the company gained nearly 400 square meters of office space thanks to the renovation of a building adjacent to its Berlin headquarters.

A variety of chromatographic techniques have been used to quantify the full range of acyl-CoAs, formed when a fatty acid bonds with coenzyme A, but added complexity and analysis time adversely affect the level of throughput.

The Chromatographic Society will honor five scientists and academics next year, conferring its highest honor, the Martin Medal, to David McCalley and Fabrice Gritti.

The hyphenated method was combined with a gradient ultracentrifugation technique that allowed for lipoprotein fraction separations.

While lipid oxidation in food is a serious problem, lipid species in both oxidized and non-oxidized forms at varying concentrations make detection and identification of the less abundant species difficult.

Ion suppression is a known matrix effect in electrospray ionization (ESI), ambient pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and desorption electrospray ionization (DESI).

Chromatography is predicted to be a major player among instrument technologies, but spectroscopy and electrophoresis may also increase their market shares.

Agilent Technologies presents this award to industry leaders as a means of supporting them through financial aid, products, and expertise, along with recognition.

For the first time, inhibitors of a cyclooxygenase isoform were found in Allium ampeloprasum L., specifically the giant or “elephant” garlic grown in the Chiloé Archipelago.

Mary Ellen McNally and Doug Raynie covered green chemistry and sustainable separations, from sample preparation through analysis with chromatographic techniques, at EAS 2023.

At EAS 2023, Michael Dong and Szabolcs Fekete reviewed certain innovations in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and in what ways scientists can continue to improve the quality of their experiments.

Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) was used in tandem with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) because it was non-invasive and non-damaging to three letters written in the second half of the 15th century by Vlad III of Wallachia.

Among the chlorinated byproducts of water disinfection within the fresh-cut industry, haloacetic acids (HAAs) are known to pose a consumer health risk if they remain present in the treated product.

The α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) were isolated from extracts of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb (APL), which is a perennial herb used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

L-thryoxine was proposed as the label at the end of a DNA aptamer that comprised a reporter agent complementary to a capture agent in this experimental design.

Three different metrics were used experimentally, based on measurements of both NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1950 and data obtained from murine kidney tissue.

FDA scientists have expanded the number of analytes in their analytical method for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), partly in response to updated guidance out of the European Union (EU) on method parameters and limits of quantification (LOQs).

Alexander Makarov was awarded the honor first introduced by the British Mass Spectrometry Society in 1987.
