Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts) announced that its liquid chromatography?tandem mass spectrometry (LC?MS-MS) instrumentation has been used in the Kenneth L. Maddy Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (Davis, California) for equine drug testing.
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts) announced that its liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS-MS) instrumentation has been used in the Kenneth L. Maddy Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (Davis, California) for equine drug testing. The instrumentation consisted of the company’s turbulent flow LC system interfaced with its triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer. The laboratory is the authorized equine drug-testing laboratory for California’s six permanent race courses, nine seasonal fair locations, and other performance events. The analytes of interest were anabolic androgenic steroids in urine and plasma samples.
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.
