JASCO Corporation was founded in Japan in 1958 to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products. By the early 1970s JASCO was developing a complete line of separation science instrumentation, including HPLC, SFE/SFC, EC, CE, and Micro-bore chromatography systems. As a result of JASCO's long history and expertise in chiro-optical spectroscopy, the JASCO team was able to segue chiral technology into a series of the world's only dedicated circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion detectors. JASCO's chiral detectors complement the family of HPLC detectors, which include multi-wavelength and PDA UV/vis, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and refractive index. The patented solvent delivery pumps deliver volumes from the micro-bore range to semi-preparative with optimum flow rate precision. The chromatography systems and preparative scale super critical fluid chromatography systems are the latest innovations in the field that will allow JASCO to serve the separation scientists for many years to come.
Congratulations to LCGC North America on their 25th anniversary.

Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at 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.
