Gas chromatography (GC) was at one time commonly called “GLC,” where the “L” stands for liquid. Find out the results of our latest GC survey here.

With the widespread adoption of liquid and gas chromatography instruments throughout laboratories, chromatography data systems (CDS) have followed suit, becoming one of the most popular software products in use within a lab.

Matthew Gudorf, campus energy manager with the Facilities Management group at University of California, Irvine, (UCI) discusses the Smart Labs program developed at UCI, which aims to reduce overall energy consumption by 50 percent.

In today’s economic environment, cost reduction is a driving force in the lab, but research organizations should not forget the critical role lab equipment repair and preventive maintenance plays in generating high-quality results that get their products to market faster. 

Our panel of experts will help you understand and apply the basic principles of mass spectrometry theory that are needed for the operation of mass spectrometry systems in the clinical reseach laboratory

Our expert will provide their perspective on the critical enhancements being made to UHPLC systems and how they are strengthening analytical opportunities for chromatographers world-wide.

Join us live for this webinar on UV-Visible spectrophotometers to hear from experts at various companies about how the improvements in instrument design, superior optics and increased speed of analysis are helping enhance ease-of-use

Within a decade of its discovery in 1983, Real-Time PCR—also called quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)— evolved into one of the most powerful and sensitive gene analysis techniques available.

The pH meter is an essential piece of equipment in most laboratories, vital for many analytical and synthetic processes. Typical pH meters consist of a glass electrode connected to an electronic meter.

The latest equipment, instruments and system introductions to the laboratory market.

Michael Glavanovich receives calls with all kinds of strange requests. Once, a woman phoned to ask him if a piece of meat tossed into her yard for her dog contained poison.

Byron Brehm-Stecher, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Iowa State University, heads the Rapid Microbial Detection & Control Laboratory that works to ensure the safety of the food supply through improved detection and inactivation of food-borne pathogens. While the laboratory uses a combination of several different analytical tools for rapid detection, a key emphasis lies on pre-analytical sample preparation (sample prep), which is the separation and concentration of target cells from complex samples and removal of interfering matrix components prior to detection. He talks about the common challenges associated with sample prep and what an ideal sample prep process should involve.

Microplate readers are widely used in research, drug discovery, bioassay validation, QC, and manufacturing processes for the detection of biological, chemical, or physical processes in samples contained in microtiter plates.
