AAIPharma Services (Wilmington, North Carolina, USA) has opened a technology centre at its headquarters.
AAIPharma Services (Wilmington, North Carolina, USA) has opened a technology centre at its headquarters. The centre is part of a $15 million capital expansion programme, with plans in the works to expand its manufacturing centres in both Charleston, South Carolina, USA, and Wilmington.
The centre was designed with flexible workstations to meet the changing requirements for developing and testing pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. The centre has also received a batch of new UHPLC, HPLC, GC–MS and LC–MS–MS instruments.
Patrick Walsh, CEO of AAIPharma, commented, “We’ve designed this technology centre as an adaptable laboratory concept that gives us the flexibility to meet our clients’ increasingly diverse needs. We remain committed to investing in our employees’ infrastructure and our region as we project continued and sustainable business growth.”

The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Assessing Thorium-Peptide Interactions Using Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography
February 4th 2025Paris-Saclay University scientists used hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to assess thorium’s interaction with peptides.
