AB SCIEX (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) is using a variety of social media outlets to connect scientists with their MASStastic Voyage mobile lab tour, which is currently making its way across North America.
More than 1000 people have taken part in the venture, discussing new ways to improve food safety testing, environmental analysis, clinical research, forensic toxicology and small molecule and peptide quantification.
Rob Ellis, PhD, AB SCIEX's R&D director, commented, "We have received very positive feedback from scientists about our initiative to go on the road to help improve analysis of contaminants, compounds and proteins, and we are looking forward to continuing to engage in meaningful dialogue with scientists. We also invite people to engage with AB SCIEX through social media."
The last stop on the MASStastic tour will be in Vancouver, Canada, on 20 May.

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.
Investigating Plastic Contamination in Olive Oil with GC–MS/MS
January 17th 2025The objective of this study was to investigate contamination by 32 plasticizers in olive oil throughout its production and packaging process. Separation and detection were carried out by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS), without the need for pre-concentration steps.
