The big reveal: Workhorse + Innovation = more information (Part 1)

A concern raised by the rise in routine MRI screening within the healthcare industry is that the ability to detect abnormalities within the body may currently be running ahead of our understanding of their possible consequences, making it difficult to determine a sound course of action. Here then analytical science is arguably advancing beyond current requirements.

The big reveal: Workhorse + Innovation = more information (Part 2)

In this second article of a short series Dr Paul Kippax is looking at the how recent innovations are substantially enhancing the value and informational productivity of some of our established and trusted analytical techniques. This time, the addition of multiple detectors to a GPC/SEC analysis…

Clinical Collaborations

| Rich Whitworth

Is analytical science poised to storm the theatre and steal the spotlight? Possibly not. But I do sense an increasingly central – and recognized – role, particularly in the clinic.

GPC/SEC analysis of polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) using OMNISEC

| Sponsored by Malvern Panalytical

In this application note, a selection of different PLA and PLGA polymer samples were analyzed on Malvern's OMNISEC GPC/SEC system, which combines multiple detectors to provide information about structure and solution properties.

Chromatography: Winning Every Battle, Losing the War?

| Hans-Gerd Janssen

Other techniques are beating chromatography and mass spectrometry to the hero’s reward all too often. Are they better? No. Are they faster to first result? Yes. Is it time to acknowledge that – on the frontlines – fit-for-purpose triumphs over best-in-class? You decide.

Gurus of Chiral Separations

| Christopher J. Welch, Yoshio Okamoto, Bernard Testa, Wolfgang Lindner

In Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice suggests to her black kitten, “Perhaps Looking-Glass milk isn’t good to drink...” And though our four gurus don’t attempt to predict the potability of milk from a mirror world, they keenly address the broader significance of chirality, the major milestones in chiral analysis, and where the field is heading.
