Knauer (Berlin, Germany) has been ranked as one of the top employers in Germany for 2019, according to a study by 3.works GmbH, a Düsseldorf-based employment research institute.
This is the second time Knauer has been honoured as one of the best employers in Germany. The study is based on a comprehensive employer evaluation system in Germany, which has evaluated the data of more than 70,000 companies. Criteria included independent certifications, ranking and awards, employee satisfaction ratings, student surveys, as well as activities in the areas of corporate social responsibility, diversity, and family friendliness.
“We are very pleased to have made it among the top one percent of employers this year. This award confirms that we are on the right track with respect to our human resources strategy and our activities for sustainability and social responsibility,” said Alexandra Knauer, CEO of Knauer.

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.
