Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced a new high-performance liquid chromatography system that can be used as a standalone or with the latest mass spectrometers.  The result is a system that combines advantages in separations performance, sample throughput, ease-of-use, reproducibility, and method transfer efficiency.

Other features include:

SmartFlow pumping technology designed for reproducible retention times and low baseline noise to enhance detection sensitivity;

Thermal Gravim Analysis (TGA) is commonly used to determine selected characteristics of materials that exhibit either mass loss or gain due to decomposition, oxidation, or loss of volatiles (such as moisture). Common applications of TGA are (1) materials characterization through analysis of characteristic decomposition patterns, (2) studies of degradation mechanisms and reaction kinetics, (3) determination of organic content in a sample, and (4) determination of inorganic (e.g.

The ANKOM Dietary Fiber Analyzer creates a new standard for nutritional labeling, quality control, and research. By automating one of the most tedious analytical methods, the ANKOM analyzer reduces labor and per sample costs, while increasing accuracy and precision. An advanced computer controlled multichannel pump automates the addition of chemical solutions, enzymes, and rinses. Temperatures and agitation levels are controlled throughout the process, eliminating the need for multiple water baths and freeing up precious lab counter space.

A triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer, also known as QqQ, is a tandem MS method in which the first and third quadrupoles act as mass filters and the second causes fragmentation of the analyte through interaction with a collision gas—it is a radiofrequency-only quadrupole, and can be used in either SIM or scan mode. The method can be used to obtain structural information or for quantitation. For structural mass spec, a common sequence is product ion scan, precursor ion scan, and neutral loss scan, followed by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM).

The 3 is a versatile laser scanner for biomolecular imaging applications. We use it primarily for in-gel visualization of protein targets of fluorescent small molecules (activity-based protein profiling). It can be, however, also used in many other applications. For example, it allows sensitive and quantitative measurements of radioisotopic labels by storage phosphor, analysis of chemifluorescent Western blots, and multiplex fluorescence (e.g. DIGE applications, Western blotting with fluorescent antibodies).

Amino acid analysis has been used in the food and feed industries to verify and characterize materials and processes. The total amino acid content, as well as the proportions of growth-limiting amino acids, is an essential characteristic of the nutritional value of feeds. Since most of the amino acids are bound in protein, this determination requires acid hydrolysis of the sample. The total amino acids are then available for analysis. In addition to being components of proteins, amino acids are also important intermediates in metabolic pathways.
