Owlstone Nanotech and Agilent Technologies have announced a phase one agreement to develop Owlstone's field-asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) filter as a front-end separation module for Agilent's Accurate Mass time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MS).

PerkinElmer and LEAP Technologies have entered into a resale agreement for ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technology.

The most difficult problem for an investigator in chiral separations is to determine where to start. Cost considerations, availability of equipment, and know-how play important roles in the selection process (1,3-5).

The new European headquarters of the Yokogawa Electric Corporation have officially been opened in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, at a ceremony attended by public dignitaries and senior Yokogawa management.

Fossil fuels are a limited resource, and the petroleum industry is always on the lookout for ways to extract more useful materials from crude oil. This session focuses on the use of mass spectrometry in the analysis of petroleum.

Wednesday afternoon's session titled "MS of Polymers/Materials II: HPLC and Ion Mobility Separation" is part II of Wednesday morning session, "MS of Polymers/Materials I: Structures and Properties." The second half of this session will pick up where part one left off and address additional topics involving HPLC and other applications.

Ion mobility spectrometry has found commercial success as a homeland security tool in the field detection of explosives, drugs, and chemical weapons. Other common uses for the technique have been in the pharmaceutical industry for cleaning validation and in the analysis of biological material. The applications to be discussed in this Wednesday morning session include the combination of IMS with MS, the characterization of carbohydrate?protein binding, protein and peptide analysis, IMS-MS analyses with elevated electric field intensities, and neutral ion pair evaporation from ionic liquid nanodroplets
