Agilent J&W Ultra Inert GC columns push industry standards for consistent column inertness and exceptionally low column bleed, resulting in lower detection limits and more accurate data for difficult analytes.

The Pittcon programme committee has announced the call for papers for Pittcon 2011, which will be held at the Georgia World Congress Centre, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 13?18 March 2011.

Joining us for this forum are Margit Geissler, product manager of GC/GC-MS from Shimadzu and Bob Wiedemer, technical service chemist from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Waters has announced that it has entered into an agreement with PREMIER Biosoft International to co-market software produced by the firm with their mass spectrometry solutions for glycan and glycopeptide analysis.

High content screening (HCS) is a high-throughput method, which enables the functional analysis of cells.

Chiral Separations

Chiral has long been one of the most important techniques in separation science. Joining us for this discussion are Martin Vollmer of Agilent Technologies and Elena Eksteen of Chiral Technologies.

LCGC reviews some of the highlights and award recipients from this year's ASMS conference, held May 23-27, 2010, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Agilent Technologies and Stemina Biomarker Discovery have announced that Agilent will be providing a liquid chromatography system and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer to accelerate Stemina's metobolomic research.

A rapid gradient HPLC method for simultaneous determination of 16 PAH according to EPA 610 method is presented. A baseline resolution for all 16 target analytes in less than 2.50 minutes could be achieved by using a KNAUER BlueOrchid PAH 50 x 2 mm column.

Ten miles off the Californian coastline, at the bottom of the Santa Barbara channel, domes rise from the Pacific Ocean floor. A paper published on-line in the journal Nature Geoscience identified these as a series of unusual underwater volcanoes.

In ion chromatography, the presence of a large amount of matrix ions makes quantification of the target ions difficult. Selective removal of matrix ions - matrix elimination - can be performed by treating a sample with a solid-phase extractant. Halides can be removed by precipitation with silver, which is present as a counterion in a cation-exchange resin. A subsequent treatment with a cation-trapping column removes residual dissolved silver ions.
