Agilent Technologies Inc. (Santa Clara, California, USA) has announced the
opening of the Dissolution Center of Excellence (CoE) facility in Craven Arms,
United Kingdom. The newly modernized premises will house the core of Agilent’s dissolution business, including research and development, quality, support, applications, marketing, and more.
“The growth in our dissolution business has really driven the need for this larger facility,” said Steve O’Donohue, Director at the Craven Arms site. “Our new flagship site will enable us to develop a truly unified approach to dissolution for the future. The location will also facilitate greater innovation and manufacturing capabilities to support Agilent’s digital lab initiatives.”
“By centring all dissolution activities in the UK, customers from all time zones will have improved access to our team of experts, with the latest technology to virtually connect for education, training, troubleshooting, and all other types of dissolution testing assistance,” said Dan Spisak, Dissolution Marketing Manager at Agilent.
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University of Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
