laboratory sector at the Pittcon exhibition earlier this year and
the winner of the gold award...
WR Grace subsidiary The Separations Group has acquired Alltech
International in a move that raises its standing in the manufacture
and supply of chromatography products even further.
A microfluidic analytical system developed by Nanostream has been
used to assess the purity of oligonucleotides around 16 times as
quickly as conventional high performance liquid chromatography.
As the annual Pittcon laboratory analysis showcase gets underway
this week, a string of products with applications in drug discovery
have been introduced, including new tools for proteomics and the
first commercial analysis system...
US company Waters Corporation will this week unveil its
next-generation liquid chromatograph, said to significantly improve
productivity in the lab by giving scientists chromatographic run
times up to nine times shorter than the fastest...
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and microscopy are emerging as
