Chromatography Market Profile
Eksigent and Applied Biosystems announce distribution agreement
Eksigent Technologies (Livermore, California) recently announced a distribution agreement with Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX (Foster City, California). Applied Biosystems will offer a new line of high performance liquid chromatography systems based upon Eksigent's proprietary technology integrated with Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX mass spectrometers.
The new Tempo liquid chromatography (LC) systems will be sold and serviced by Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX, and include platforms for nano LC, high-throughput micro LC, and an LC–MALDI deposition system. The systems are based upon Eksigent's Microfluidic Flow Control technology, which has been widely adopted in proteomics research and in pharmaceutical discovery applications.
Fisher Biosciences collaborates with Dyomics
Fisher Biosciences (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) recently announced a collaboration with Dyomics GmbH (Jena, Germany), a developer and manufacturer of fluorescent dyes and other markers for biomolecular research. This collaboration will enable Fisher to develop and manufacture an expanded range of products for protein and nucleic-acid detection under the Pierce brand.
Dyomics' products are used in a number of scientific-research, drug-discovery, and diagnostic applications.
Under the Pierce brand, Fisher currently offers protein-research products based primarily upon chemiluminescent and colorimetric detection and will expand to offer fluorescently labeled reagents.
National City and PerkinElmer announce partnership
National City Commercial Capital (Cleveland, Ohio) recently announced a financing partnership with the Life and Analytical Sciences division of PerkinElmer (Shelton, Conneticut). National City Commercial Capital will provide custom-financing programs for PerkinElmer customers.
National City Commercial Capital is a subsidiary of National City Corporation and is one of the largest bank-affiliated leasing companies in the country.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
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.
Evaluating Dissolved Organic Matter with GPC and Spectroscopy
February 4th 2025Gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy was utilized to assess road runoff passed through a filter filled with sludge from drinking water treatment plants to evaluate its capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM).
