Case study: Effects of gamma-ray sterilization on high molecular weight

| Baljit Ghatora

A sample of PMMA was analysed by Size Exclusion Chromatography with Triple detection, before and after sterilization. Reduction in the molecular weight was shown to be firstly by cleaving the polymer at the branching points.

Standing Up for GC-MS – and Good Science

| Karl Burgess

Though a recent paper about the data-distorting potential of gas chromatography in metabolomic studies is far from perfect, it does at least draw attention to the absolute criticality of robust experiment design – on both sides of the argument. And that’s got to be a good thing.
