Novasep and instrAction have entered into an alliance that will offer customers in the pharmaceutical industry a combination of instrAction’s proprietary API-selective stationary phases and Novasep’s purification capabilities and high performance chromatography technologies. Together, the companies aim to develop and operate or supply optimized large-scale chromatography processes for purifying synthetic and semi-synthetic compounds.
“With the ever-increasing complexity of pharmaceutical compounds, traditional purification processes including crystallization, and even normal or reversed-phase chromatography, are often too expensive, and, worse, ineffective,” says René De Vaumas, executive vice president in charge of Novasep Synthesis’ business development.
“We believe that together, instrAction and Novasep will develop solutions that will provide great improvement in the purification of a number of pharmaceutical compounds,” said Dr Thomas Schwarz, CEO of instrAction GmbH. “Moreover, we believe that our joint approach with a single point of contact and streamlined project management will help reduce process development timelines.”

Maximizing Cannabinoid Separation for Potency Testing with LC
April 7th 2025Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at Western Illinois University (Macomb, Illinois) conducted a study to optimize the separation of 18 cannabinoids for potency testing of hemp-based products, using liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (LC–DAD). As part of our monthlong series of articles pertaining to National Cannabis Awareness Month, LCGC International spoke to Liguo Song, the corresponding author of the paper stemming from this research, to discuss the study and its findings.
How Many Repetitions Do I Need? Caught Between Sound Statistics and Chromatographic Practice
April 7th 2025In chromatographic analysis, the number of repeated measurements is often limited due to time, cost, and sample availability constraints. It is therefore not uncommon for chromatographers to do a single measurement.
