Bruker and IPN team up to promote nanoscience research
Bruker has provided the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in Mexico with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) systems to promote nanoscience research.
Bruker has provided the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in Mexico with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) systems to promote nanoscience research.
All of the instruments will be located in the institute’s new Centre for Nanoscience and Micro- and Nanotechnology (CNMN). They will promote the centre’s mission to support scientific research and knowledge, particularly in nanosciences and nanotechnology. The aim is to eventually transfer these high-impact technical developments to the private and public sectors in Mexico and abroad.
Dr Gerardo Cabanas Moreno, Director of the CNMN of IPN, said, “We are very pleased with our decision to select Bruker’s NMR and mass spectrometry instrumentation to equip our new centre. These advanced, new platforms will have an immediate and significant impact in a broad range of experiments.”
Dr Werner Mass, President of Bruker BioSpin, commented, “Bruker is honoured to support the growing science community in Mexico.”

SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
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.
