				<description>
	High-performance/pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is, for many scientists, an essential chromatographic technique. HPLC systems used for the separation, identification, purification and quantification of various chemical and biochemical solutions are composed of a pump, a sample injector, a separation column, a detection unit, and a data-processor.</description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.labmanager.com//?articles.view/articleNo/34473/article/Fifth-Annual-Investment-Confidence-Report</guid>
				<description>
	Lab Manager Magazine&amp;rsquo;s 2012 Investment Confidence Survey, conducted in late Q4 2012, revealed a slight increase in optimism compared with the end-of-year 2011 survey. The good news is that on average survey takers were no more pessimistic than they were a year ago. Sixty-three percent of respondents indicated a managerial or supervisory role, compared with scientific or engineering job titles at 23.4% and technician or &amp;ldquo;other&amp;rdquo; at 13.6%. Figure 2 illustrates the percentage of respondents falling into various technical disciplines. R&amp;amp;D, QC, operations, and technical services were by far the leading categories, comprising 74.7% of all respondents.</description>

				<description>
	Mass spectrometers, measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles to determine their molecular weight, have not quite become a routine acquisition for every lab that might benefit from them. Four parts are standard in all mass spectrometers: a sample inlet, an ionization source, a mass analyzer and an ion detector.</description>

				<description>
	Electrophoresis relies on a basic process &amp;mdash; particles moving in an electric field. Known for more than 200 years, this phenomenon still drives fundamental techniques in many labs and its long history plays a role in the widespread use of the technology. Current interest lies in making the technology, faster, more accurate and more sensitive.</description>

				<description>
	TOC (total organic carbon) analyzers are a mainstay of environmental and quality control chemistry. TOC, a crucial metric in many processes, may arise from a combination of living or dead organisms or chemical contamination. Its measurement can serve as a surrogate for more difficult measurements or a screen for further analysis.</description>

				<description>A laboratory information management system
(LIMS) consists of software that serves as the
interface to a laboratory?s data, instruments,
analyses and reports. A LIMS can help develop
a workflow for a new experiment, control the
steps of the process as it runs, or integrate a
collection of laboratory platforms.</description>

	Low-temperature (or ultra low) laboratory freezers will achieve temperatures of -40&amp;deg;C to -85&amp;deg;C &amp;mdash; much lower than their kitchen-based counterparts. When selecting a freezer for your lab, it is important to know what specific storage requirements you&amp;rsquo;ll need, such as the temperature range or space available.</description>

				<description>
	Biological safety cabinets (biosafety cabinets or BSCs) are enclosures that protect users and the environment from biohazards and samples from contamination. Whether performing research or production activities, the proper degree of protection should be maintained and is required based on the biosafety containment level of the lab or application.</description>

				<description>
	Thermal analysis is the broad category of at least 20 techniques that measure some fundamental property of matter as a result of adding heat. For example, dilatometry measures volume changes upon heating, thermomechanical analysis quantifies the change in dimension of a sample as a function of temperature, and thermo-optical analysis detects changes in optical properties on heating or cooling. This discussion applies mostly to two techniques, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), although many of the ideas presented here apply to other types of thermal analysis.</description>

				<description>
	Two interesting and fairly recent trends in GC systems are &amp;ldquo;fast GC&amp;rdquo; and the use of hydrogen as the carrier gas. Hydrogen is much less expensive than helium. It also has superior optimal linear velocity and produces a very low effective plate height, meaning more theoretical plates are available for a given column length. Because of its lower density relative to helium, hydrogen works extremely well with very narrow-bore columns. Fast GC provides benefits of lower instrument and human resource costs, higher revenues for high-throughput testing or service labs, and more rapid method development.</description>

				<description>
	Anyone who works in a lab quickly learns the value of labware washers. Today, washers are almost as common in laboratories as they are in kitchens. Any lab that uses glassware for analysis, science, or engineering is a potential user. Washers are found in schools, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and water and wastewater analytical labs, and are used in many industries such as public health, forensics, chemical R&amp;amp;D, petrochemicals, electronics, medical devices, optics and cosmetics.</description>
