Based on Wyatt Technology’s family of multi-angle light scattering detectors, the new DAWN HELEOS-II boasts 18-angles of detection for the greatest sensitivity for absolute molecular weight and size determinations of polymers and biopolymers in solution. It may be connected in series to any chromatographic system in order to determine absolute molar masses without the use of reference standards or column calibration.

Shimadzu has introduced the new GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which offers a solution for today’s challenges along with the speed, accuracy and ease-of-operation scientists demand.

Life Is Sweet

Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California, USA) has announced that it has purchased the supercritical fluid chromatography company Aurora SFC Systems, Inc (Redwood, California, USA).

Unsustainable fishing and habitat destruction is increasing pressure on tropical marine eco-systems. Conservation of coral reef habitats has been prioritized at the expense of other habitats, but the importance of maintaining migration links between habitats has been explicitly recognized during the recent re-zoning of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Understanding and identifying the numerous compounds that make-up a scent is essential to artificial flavour creation. When attempting to create a strawberry fragrance, sensory properties are of fundamental importance.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) provides a number of advantages for analysts, including high separation efficiency, short analysis times, low waste generation and a diverse range of applications. Participants in this forum are Bill Ciccone, Microsolv; Martin Greiner, Agilent Technologies; and Mark Lies, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences.
