Expanding the Limits of Closed- Vessel Microwave Sample Preparation

Analytical chemists have long known that closed-vessel microwave sample preparation techniques are the most reliable way to achieve high-quality digestions—i.e., clear, precipitate-free solutions... read more
A Single Molecular Multianalyte Fluorescent Probe and Its Application to Imaging Intracellular Multianalyte Dynamics

Single molecular multianalyte sensors are molecular sensors that can determine multiple analytes by recognition of the various analytes based on the difference of the spectral changes. read more
Managing Laboratory Maintenance

Other than personnel-related costs, maintenance is generally the most expensive item in the laboratory operating budget. read more
Taking Thermogravimetric Analysis to a New Level of Performance and Convenience

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is an established technique for studying the thermal stability of materials and for determining and understanding their decomposition profiles. read more
Increasing the Stability of Liquid Stationary Phases for Improved Stability in High-Temperature GC

The attempt to stabilize stationary phases for use in gas chromatography is ongoing. read more
Celebrating 25 Years of Scanning Probe Microscopy and the Work of Kumar Wickramasinghe

In 1981, two research scientists from IBM’s European research facility in Rueschlikon, Switzerland, made a discovery that would help change the face of the world today. read more
Aligning Ultrafast NMR Spectroscopy and Cold Probe Technology to Reveal the Mysteries of Protein Dynamics

The understanding of protein dynamics, the way these molecules fold to form a stable structure, interact with other molecules, or undergo changes during enzyme activity, etc., in their native ... read more
Performance-Verified High-Speed LC: Assessing the Capabilities of a Flexible System for STM-LC and HPLC

Analytical laboratories are increasingly challenged to improve data quality and increase sample throughput. read more
A Convenient Sample Introduction System for ICP, ICP-MS, and AA

Sample introduction has been a problem for analytical chemists for decades. In 1984, Richard Browner and Andrew Boorn went so far as to call sample introduction "The Achilles’ Heel of Atomic ... read more
Breakthrough Technology for Bottom-Up Proteomics and Small Molecule Research

High mass resolution is a prerequisite for high mass accuracy. Both are key for the analysis of unknown samples. High resolution enables the separation and detection of isobaric signals that are ... read more
Dielectrophoretic Force Microscopy

Dielectrophoresis (DEP), the force exerted on a polarizable particle in a nonuniform electric field, has been used with great success in recent years to manipulate and separate cells and biomolecules. read more
Stability of Salicylic Acid and Magnesium Stearate by DSC

The first step in developing effective pharmaceutical formulations is the discovery of the active agent. read more
Defragmenting Chiral Chromatography

Chiral molecules continue to drive growth across a number of industries as new chemistries, active ingredients, and products are developed and commercialized. read more
Three-Dimensional Elemental Imaging Using a Confocal X-Ray Fluorescence Microscope

Micro X-ray fluorescence (MXRF) is a powerful elemental technique that can nondestructively provide both single-point spectra and full spectral elemental maps. read more
