Peak Packaging On Point
Peak Scientific and Macfarlane Packaging have been awarded the “Supply Chain Solution of the Year Award” at the 2018 UK Packaging Awards.
Peak Scientific and Macfarlane Packaging have been awarded the “Supply Chain Solution of the Year Award” at the 2018 UK Packaging Awards.
The companies collaborated on “Project McLaren” to create protective and sustainable packaging for transporting the Peak’s laboratory gas generation products to global exhibitions. The project takes its name from Peak’s Exhibition Manager of 20 years, Ann McLaren.
The new compact exhibition packaging solutions is reusable, replacing the single use wooden crates previously used to transport its gas generators to exhibitions.
‘‘I am delighted that Project McLaren has won Supply Chain Solution of the Year at this years’ UK Packaging Awards. This award recognizes the collaborative and innovative work of both MacFarlane Packaging and Peak Scientific,” said David Williamson, Global Supply Chain and Logistics Manager at Peak Scientific.
“This new packaging solution meets our exhibition packaging needs perfectly, transporting product more cost effectively and safely through the supply chain, while promoting brand awareness.”

Determining Enhanced Sensitivity to Odors due to Anxiety-Associated Chemosignals with GC
May 8th 2025Based on their hypothesis that smelling anxiety chemosignals can, like visual anxiety induction, lead to an increase in odor sensitivity, a joint study between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Freising, Germany) combined behavioral experiments, odor profile analysis by a trained panel, and instrumental analysis of odorants (gas chromatography-olfactometry) and volatiles (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
