Spartan Bioscience Announces Agreement with NorDiag ASA
Spartan Bioscience (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and markets DNA analyzers for on-demand applications, and NorDiag ASA (Oslo, Norway), a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets automated nucleic acid sample preparation instruments and magnetic bead–based reagents for assays that require the purification of nucleic acid from clinical samples such as urine, feces, sputum, and tissue, announced that they have signed a joint collaboration agreement with the intention of developing an end-to-end DNA preparation and analysis system.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Functionalized Monoliths as Selective Sample Preparation Materials
May 16th 2025Analyzing trace compounds from complex samples often requires purification and pre-concentration, and online coupling of solid-phase extraction (SPE) with liquid chromatography (LC) helps minimize analysis time and solvent/sample use. Monoliths with large macropores are ideal for this coupling due to their low back pressure and versatility in various formats.
