The L.A. volunteer-led region is the second largest in the USA, serving 88 cities, and providing relief for victims of natural or man-made disasters. In 2012 alone, nearly 160,000 people were trained in life-saving skills, including CPR and first aid, as a result of the Red Cross’s work.
Mahjoor said: “I am honoured to be invited to be an American Red Cross Board Member. It is a privilege, and I will carry on the duties to the best of my ability. I hope I can be a valuable member and that my contributions will make a real difference.”
“We welcome Mr Mahjoor to this board of talented and respected business leaders who are committed to helping others,” said Board Chair Martin Cozyn, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Occidental Petroleum. “Working with five local chapter boards - in Long Beach, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, and Antelope Valley - we ensure the Red Cross is there to assist families and individuals across the region.”

Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
