The history of chromatography dates back to the early 1900s, when it was developed as an analytical tool by Russian-Italian botanist Mikhail Tsvet. Chromatography is so effective that it is Continue Reading
HILIC Technical Tip for Stronger Analytical Methods
Technical Tip: Engineering successful analytical methods using HILIC as an alternative retention mechanism Overview: This technical tip will outline hydrophilic interaction chromatography (or hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, HILIC) as an alternative retention mechanism that is particularly effective for LC-MS.

Is Water Safe To Inject In Gas Chromatography?
In the first GC columns, gas chromatography phases were simply coated onto the column. This was mostly the case with packed columns, but also the same with the very first capillary columns. Injecting water onto these phases dissolved the phase and caused the phase to elute from the columns.
Why is C18 the Most Popular Stationary Phase for Reversed-Phase?
Guest Author: Seyed Sadjadi, Senior Scientist We are going to explore the reasons why C18 stationary phase is the most used when it comes to reversed-phase and how it works. Continue Reading
What the HILIC is HILIC?
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a chromatographic mode used mainly for the separation of polar compounds that are too hydrophilic to be retained in a reversed phase column.
The Proof is in the Litter: How an Innovative Product is Saving Feline Lives
Many pet owners can tell if their furry friend is sick just by looking at them. What if there was a possible diagnosis lurking in your cat’s litter?
Technical Tip: Principle HPLC Conditions for LC/MS
High-performance (or pressure) liquid chromatography, more commonly known as HPLC, can be a useful tool to assist in the improvement or simplicity of mass spectral detection and analysis.
Head Transplants: A Bone of Scientific Contention
It’s been done on monkeys, dogs, and rats; now, a plan for the first-ever human head transplant has been set in motion by Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero.
