College Unveils New Science Center
The College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia) unveiled its Integrated Science Center for the fall semester.
The College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia) unveiled its Integrated Science Center for the fall semester. The building houses the chemistry department, as well as molecular biology labs and a vivarium for the biology department. A variety of instrument rooms are located throughout the ISC, including rooms dedicated to the $155,000 liquid chromatography- mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and the laser system for spectroscopy experiments. The completion of the ISC is only the first phase of what is to be a three-part renovation project. The second phase is the complete renovation of Rogers Hall, which is already underway, and the third phase of construction will link the science center to Rogers Hall along Landrum drive.
Chemical Fingerprinting of Urban Runoff Using a Combined Iterative DDA and DIA Workflow
June 19th 2025An innovative workflow that combines iterative data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) to enhance the identification of unknown pollutants in urban runoff is presented.
Emerging Trends and Challenges in Detecting Residues and Contaminants in Food in the Exposome Era
June 18th 2025This article describes the analytical challenges of chemical exposomics in food safety. The need for high-throughput, multi-platform approaches—such as LC–HRMS and GC–HRMS with IMS—to capture the full spectrum of potential contaminants in our food supply is emphasized.
New Research Explores Role of Nucleotide Hydrophobicity in Oligonucleotide Separation
June 18th 2025Researchers from Waters and Biospring studied the contribution of nucleotide type and modifications on the retention and resolution of 22–24 nt long oligonucleotides in different chromatographic methods.
