LabLogic Systems has entered into a two-year research partnership to develop the next generation radio-HPLC flow-through detector.
LabLogic Systems has entered into a two-year research partnership with the Physics and Astronomy Department at the UK’s University of Sheffield to develop the next generation of its radio-HPLC flow-through detector.
To maintain its market position, the detector “must keep abreast of developments in the photo-multiplier tubes (PMT) that it uses for detection,” says the company’s managing director Richard Brown. "The University has considerable experience of using the latest PMT techniques in research fields such as particle physics, so we want to find out whether they can be applied to make our detector more sensitive and efficient."
Working with LabLogic on the project is University post-doctoral research assistant Tom Deakin. According to the company, he will initially spend time with the company’s customer support staff, visiting users all over the world to find out how they think their expectations of the instrument might change in the foreseeable future.

Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
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.
