The recent relocation of a laboratory yielded a number of insights as to how to ensure a quality environment to deliver quality gas separation and detection within a safe working atmosphere.

Various strategies to improve LC-MS sensitivity in order to enhance signal-to-noise ratio, and help you realize the hidden potential of this method are discussed.

Much of the conventional wisdom regarding size-phase separations of proteins has been negated thanks to development of superior chemistries and advances in research. In this article, details that the authors have found to be especially beneficial in achieving effective SEC separations are examined.

Why the technique is a handy component of any analyst’s arsenal.

This article describes and tests a dynamic DHS−TD−GC−MS method for the fingerprinting analysis of mobile volatile organic compounds in soil.

In the first of a three part series, we discuss challenges associated with successful transfer of chromatographic methods and how to best circumvent and remove ambiguities and contradictions

The final part of the series discusses the importance of an open culture, training, and monitoring metrics in the establishment and support of a regulated laboratory.
