  • Microfluidics System Streamlines Biomolecular Analysis Workflows

    To enhance the rapid dilution of highly concentrated samples and improve insight into low-affinity and transient biomolecular interactions, several updates have been made to Refeyn’s MassFluidix HC microfluidics system. read more

  • Protein Interaction Assays: Why Working In Solution Can Be The Solution

    Protein interactions are central to biology and their characterization is important for scientists from basic research to drug development. Traditionally, protein interaction assays, such as the dominant Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology, rely on immobilizing proteins on a surface. read more

  • Breaking Boundaries: Sustainable Practices with Mass Detection Technology for Drug Impurity Analysis

    Ensuring the purity and safety of pharmaceutical products is a critical aspect of drug development and manufacturing. Impurities in drugs, whether from synthesis, degradation, or contamination, can have profound implications for patient health. Mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful analytical technique for detecting and characterizing these impurities, but the complexity of traditional mass spectrometry systems has posed challenges for routine drug impurity testing, especially for quality control (QC) laboratories. read more

  • LABTips: Mitigating Common Errors in Particle Analysis

    Used in many diverse industry applications, particle analysis (PA) is a methodology used in laboratory settings to isolate and characterize particulate matter. Common methodologies used in PA activities include the traditional sieve method, DIA (dynamic image analysis), laser diffraction, TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and DIS (dynamic light scattering). Each PA method tends to come with its own set of nuances. Modern methodologies such as DIS and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) offer some measurable advantages in predetermining particle size and details about its shape but demonstrate some limitations in certain application types. read more

  • GCxGC Isn’t Just a Tool for Research

    When thinking about hydrocarbon analysis, it is natural to think of gas chromatography (GC). However, simple GC (single column) separation doesn’t always provide the complete answer. When full separation is impossible due to complexity of the mixture and functionality of a simple column system, other options can be considered. read more

  • Analysis Accelerated: An Introduction to Low-Pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS)

    Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is a technique that uses the MS vacuum system, along with a specially designed column setup, to lower pressure inside the entire column, thereby significantly speeding up analysis. read more
