Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and Waters Corp. (NYSE: WAT) announced a formal agreement on June 11 to exchange instrument controls to improve the productivity of customers who own software and instruments from both companies.

This application note from Waters discusses a UPC² method that was successfully developed to separate the three most common carotenoids in less than two minutes.

The UPC²/MS FFA analysis described here provides a simple and fast method with a significant reduction in analysis time compared to alternative techniques such as GC/MS, which requires FAME derivatization.

This application note shows the benefits of quick separation of hydrophobic vitamins and carotenes.

Learn about a flexible, universal method developed for the analysis of inter-class separations of neutral and amphipathetic lipids in this application note.

Learn about the benefits of UPC2 in the analysis of tricyclic antidepressants in human urine.

Studies using UPC2 coupled with ultraviolet (UV) detection, mass spectrometry (MS), and evaporative light scattering (ELS) detection for the separation of triacylglycerols in tobacco, corn, sesame, and soybean seed oils are presented in this application note.

This application note shows how UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography combined with ESI-MS/MS enabled the simultaneous profiling of 25 bile acids within 13 minutes.

Research associated with the development of new agricultural pesticide formulations centers around the design of products that provide highly effective and specific action towards the target organism with reduced application rates. It is estimated that 30% of the pesticides on the market today have optical isomers. However, the desired activities often result from one single enantiomer in the optical isomer mixtures.
