Thermo Fisher Scientific is pleased to announce a new technical note about the determination of inorganic anions in water samples using our 4 µm ion-exchange column (Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ IonPac™ AS18-4µm column).

Thermo Fisher Scientific is pleased to announce a new technical note on the fast separations of inorganic ions in saline solution samples.

Effective lab safety programs need to be error-free. Avoiding mistakes is critical. And yet, we see them repeated over and over again in labs throughout the world. This session will highlight major lab safety program errors to avoid.

High-performance/pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is, for many scientists, an essential chromatographic technique.

The past couple of decades have brought big changes in lab ovens

While the technology and fundamental operation behind visible light microscopes has not changed much in 200 years, the wider field of microscopy has continued to greatly evolve.

The equipment, instruments, and systems introduced to the laboratory market at Pittcon 2013

Laboratories often see themselves above providing great service to their customers - they aren’t! We will define customers – external and internal, review the best examples of companies giving exceptional service to their customers, and relate their successes to the laboratory environment.

Matthew Sullivan, an environmental specialist in the Field Operations section of the Bureau of Environmental Services for the city of Portland, Oregon, talks to contributing editor Tanuja Koppal, Ph.D., about how field testing, particularly for water analysis, has changed over the years. The testing equipment is now better suited for field analysis, in terms of its size, compactness, and robustness. The newer instruments have also allowed for sampling and testing to be done remotely and in an automated fashion. Overall, field instrumentation is striving to provide faster, cheaper, more robust, and more real-time measurements for routine analysis.
