Reach Separations is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a record year of growth.
Reach Separations is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a record year of growth.
Headquartered at BioCity in Nottingham, UK, the company has carved out a niche for itself in the purification services space by supporting research chemists and scientists and establishing itself as a reliable chromatography purification provider.
“We are delighted with the progress the company has made since we started,” said Phil Abbott, Reach Separations Technical Director, and former Separation Science Group Leader at AstraZeneca. “Once we get the opportunity to work with a new chemistry group, they then tend to use us again and again as they know they can rely on our team” he continued.
The company has grown to employ 10 people and is currently recruiting for several new positions to support its expansion plans in 2017.
“We will certainly be on the lookout for talented scientists over the next year that we will train to become highly skilled chromatographers,” said Abbot. “We also have plans to make further investment in technology and equipment that will raise the bar even further,” he added.
Aimed at small molecule development projects, the company supports clients in the fields of chiral, reversed phase, and normal phase chromatography.

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.
Using Chromatography to Explore Fluorescent Bioactive Compounds in the Coelomic Fluid of Earthworms
February 6th 2025A study aiming to identify fluorescent bioactive compounds in the coelomic fluid of earthworms, as well as to investigate their structural and functional characteristics for possible use in biomedical applications, utilized a variety of chromatographic techniques.
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.
