Pharmaceuticals are contaminating our water systems - how can we monitor and remove them?

We interview Milton Lee, Professor of Chemistry at Brigham Young University

Pesticide Residue Analysis: How Far Have We Come –and Where Are We Going?

Is IC-(ICP)-MS a remedy for inorganic species analysis? It depends on our scientific courage…

Is your viscometer approaching the end of its life? Are you starting to feel that your trial and error, ‘rheology-light’ approach to formulation is becoming dated? Or are there longstanding product performance issues that you’re failing to gain traction with, where you suspect rheology may hold the answer?

In this article we take an introductory look at work carried out by TU Clausthal to develop an improved understanding of the mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by polymer flooding, and the relevance of fluid rheology. Example data illustrates the insight that rheology provides and its application in optimizing fluid performance.

Then and Now, with Mohamed Hamad, Director, Food Chemistry & Nutrition, Microbac Laboratories

Were early land plants responsible for the rise in oxygen that shaped the world as we know it?

Quantifying Nanoparticle Concentration and Size to Optimize Filtration Processes

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) has found use in a variety of investigations researching the toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles. Here we discuss various publications in which NTA has been used to measure particle size and concentration of nanomaterials in waste water.
