Then & Now, with Amadeo Fernández-Alba, Professor at the University of Almeria, Spain.

This article explores how multiple detectors, particularly light scattering detectors, may be used for size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) in protein analysis. Using a light scattering detector as part of a multi-detector Size Exclusion Chromatography system provides the accurate molecular weight (MW) data needed to assess the activity, safety and clinical efficacy of therapeutic proteins.

From hardcore peptide biochemist to translational scientist, it’s been an unconventional journey for Jennifer Van Eyk, Director of the Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. Here, Jenny tells us what she’s learnt along the way.

Are you ready for the “unthinkable” – your laboratory computer systems suffering a titanic failure? Disaster recovery plans are crucial insurance against the unexpected.

The latest advances in the widely used technique of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) break new ground in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. This article assesses the information provided by multi-detector SEC and the potential benefits of recent innovations for polymeric food additive characterization.
