Euroflow was founded 10 years ago and is based in Stroud, U.K. The company develops and produces specialized LC machines and systems, and has taken an aggessive plunge into the U.S. and Canadian marketplaces by opening its first U.S. office in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
HPLC and LC-MS Plays Major Role in Preclinical Development Market
The purpose of the company's technology center is to bring the technical capabilities of the company's U.K. headquarters closer to biopharmaceutical customers and distributors in the U.S. and Canada. The 4100 square-foot facility houses a modern laboratory as well as conference, classroom, and office spaces to enhance hands-on demonstration of the company's products. This is made possible by the fact that both laboratory and classroom-style training can be used to train customers in using the equipment.

Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
GC Analysis Reveals PCB Accumulation in Antarctic Penguins and Krill
July 3rd 2025Researchers from the University of Murcia (Murcia, Spain), the Carlos III Health Institute (Madrid, Spain), and the University of Siena (Siena, Italy) evaluated the concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in chinstrap penguins and krill from Deception Island (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) to provide additional data of the PCB presence in Antarctica. To this end, 34 samples of different tissues corresponding to four adult specimens and six chicks were analyzed with gas chromatography.
