Sciex has donated $17,500 to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) to help fund urgently‑needed research investigating the relationships between food, nutrition, and physical activity with cancer prognosis and outcome in cancer survivors.
Sciex (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) has donated $17,500 to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) to help fund urgentlyâneeded research investigating the relationships between food, nutrition, and physical activity with cancer prognosis and outcome in cancer survivors.
A donation of $11,000 was made as the result of 98% participation in the annual Sciex employee engagement survey, where Sciex committed to donating to this cause based on the number of survey responses collected. An additional $6500 was donated by the Danaher Foundation, the parent company of Sciex.
“Sciex is very proud to support organizations that promote healthcare research and discovery, community engagement, and efforts towards innovative approaches to improve quality of life around the world,” said Inese Lowenstein, President of Sciex
Gerard Cousins, Director of Fundraising for WCRF UK, commented: “WCRF is proud to have been working with Sciex, an organization that shares our aim of empowering people to make healthier lifestyle choices, since 2015. Sciex fundraising has helped to fund much-needed research into cancer prevention, which has been reflected in our latest report, Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer: a Global Perspective, which was launched in May.”

Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University of 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.
