GC distribution agreement
DANI SpA and JEOL BV have announced that they will be entering into an exclusive distribution agreement involving high-level GC systems and attachments.
DANI SpA and JEOL BV have announced that they will be entering into an exclusive distribution agreement involving high-level GC systems and attachments. DANI offers high throughput GC-TOF, which, according to the companies, will allow them to offer a complete range of GC–MS systems. Additionally, the companies report that the high resolution GC offerings from JEOL will allow them to offer the GC market a more flexible choice.
The companies claim that the combination with GCxGC on every GC-TOF system will open possibilities in a wide variety of applications such as fragrances, environmental research, petrochemical research, quality control and food research.
Dr Umberto Saini from DANI and Dr Bob Hertsens from JEOL say that they are looking forward to expanding their market share with this strategic agreement.

Inside the Laboratory: The Stone Laboratory Group at the University of Iowa
September 13th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Betsy Stone, PhD, a professor of chemistry at the University of Iowa, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including developing a new liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) method to track secondary organic aerosol that forms in the atmosphere from D5.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Detangling the Complex Web of GC×GC Method Development to Support New Users
September 12th 2024The introduction of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) to the sample screening toolbox has substantially increased the ability to comprehensively characterize complex mixtures. However, for many gas chromatography (GC) users, the thought of having to learn to develop methods on a new technology is daunting. Developing a basic GC×GC method for most (nonspecialized) applications can be accomplished in minimal time and effort given parameter suggestions and ranges to target analytes in a sample of interest. In this article, the authors work describe a simple workflow to develop a GC×GC method for a specific sample upon initial use, with the aim of decreasing the time to accomplish functional workflows for new users.
