Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker introduced the Q2 ION at its Pittcon press conference. The Q2 ION is a compact benchtop arc-spark spectrometer. It is a cost-effective complement to handheld XRF for metals analysis at smaller foundries and recycling centers. The system is now available at a price of roughly $35,000. Following the success of its Terra […]
Company Announcements Waters became the exclusive distributor of S-Matrix’s Fusion Method Development software. In January, Sigma-Aldrich Supelco was named the sole US and Canadian distributor of Eka Chemical’s Kromasil analytical HPLC columns. Repligen extended its relationship with GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB by entering into a five-year supply agreement for recombinant Protein A. In February, Phenomenex […]
Foster City, CA and Concord, Canada 2/16/10—MS supplier AB SCIEX has acquired Eksigent Technologies for an undisclosed amount. Eksigent provides advanced low-flow HPLC systems. “This acquisition addresses a broad range of life science applications, such as the rapidly growing peptide quantitation market, by further enabling breakthrough performance and ease of use through the combination of […]
Waters recently unveiled the latest addition to its family of ACQUITY Ultraperformance LC (UPLC) systems, the H-Class. It joins the suite of products, which includes the original ACQUITY UPLC system, the nanoACQUITY system and the PATROL UPLC process analyzer. In terms of product performance, the H-Class bridges the gap between Waters’s Alliance HPLC and ACQUITY […]
For the first time in many years, the overall MS market actually declined in revenues in 2009, although the 2.5% contraction in demand was fairly small compared to the broader analytical instrument market, let alone the broader economy. IBO expects the MS market to rebound significantly in 2010, growing 8.2% and reaching nearly $2.5 billion […]
The market for separations techniques was hit hard in 2009 due to weakness in the industrial segments, including the chemicals industry, and the pharmaceutical industry. The separations market declined 5.7% in 2009 and accounted for $6.2 billion in sales. While the market is not expected to make a full recovery just yet, it is estimated […]
Combustion ion chromatography (CIC) is an interesting variation on IC that enables the analysis of certain kinds of samples that would be otherwise difficult to manage. To understand the method, it is advantageous to strip away the different layers of the technique. At its heart is chromatography, a basic separations method that makes use of […]
Company Announcements Chiral Technologies signed a sales agreement with LEACSA for Mexico. Dionex Executive Vice President and COO Kevin Chance resigned in October. Proxeon appointed six new distributors: Proteomic Solutions for France, Rigas Labs for Greece, Biosense for Italy, Alpha Analytical for Singapore, Scientech for Taiwan and Scinco for South Korea.

Although its application to pharmaceutical manufacturing is a relatively recent development, one of the earliest applications for Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) chromatography was in the petrochemical industry. The use of SMB chromatography in the petrochemical industry goes back several decades. The technique, which offers a method for continuous chromatography, is useful for large-scale separation of […]
Thermal desorption is considered one of the most sensitive and environmental friendly sample introduction techniques for GC and GC/MS. Thermal desorption is used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-VOCs. Thermal desorption systems have been available for more than two decades and have shown few technical advancements in recent years, making them […]
