Squalene and squalane are oils, often used in the production of cosmetics and vaccines. Originally derived from the liver oil of deepwater sharks, squalane is also available from olives, and since 2008 some important cosmetic firms have claimed to switch to this more ethical squalane supply. However, the shark oil offers a higher yield and lower costs, so suppliers face the temptation to disguise the oil?s origin, while continuing to exploit sharks. A method in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is reported to reveal the source, protecting sharks, as well as cosmetic firms and consumers.
Chiral Technologies is partnering with Vanderbilt University?s programme in drug discovery to supply enantioselective chiral chromatography columns and custom separation services.

In the forests of Borneo in South-East Asia, a carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes rafflesiana, lures, traps and digests small animals, mainly insects. As part of the lure, the pitchers copy flowers in a variety of ways, producing nectar as well as using bright colours and ultraviolet patterns. A study published in the Journal of Ecology has shown that this mimicry also includes a range of floral scents to trick insects to their demise.
The American Urological Association has used a GC–MS method to determine the health risks faced by surgeons due to toxic by-products in surgical smoke.
