LC•GC and Crawford Scientific are pleased to present a live preview of CHROMacademy at HPLC 2009 in Dresden. CHROMacademy is a primary on-line reference source for chromatographic and instrument troubleshooting.

Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen will open the doors of its new research centre, The Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Protein Research. The centre is the result of an historic donation from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, which in 2007 gave the university €80 million for its establishment.

The purity of the solvent used for the mobile phase is one of many factors affecting the quality of chromatographic data obtained from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A typical reversed-phase HPLC gradient elution requires equilibration of the column to the initial conditions with several column volumes of the weak (aqueous) solvent.

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).

Sugar alcohols require unique methods for analysis by HPLC due to their high polarity and lack of a UV-absorbing chromophore. USP methods for these separations take advantage of ion exclusion HPLC techniques. In this note, several different separations of sugar alcohols were performed us­ing ion exclusion Rezex RPM and RCU HPLC columns.

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