HPLC is an analytical procedure for separation, identification and quantification of substances using liquid chromatography. In HPLC, the eluant must have especially high physical and chemical purity and may not contain suspended mechanical particles or any dissolved substances that can be released by the column at a delayed time and thus generate a signal. The…

The Cubis® MSA Dosing System simplifies workflows in the preparation of analytical standards. Once the desired concentration(s) of the components and the volume of the standard solution have been entered, the required amount of sample to be weighed is automatically calculated and the target weight is shown as a bar graph with the tolerances. If…

We tested the novel filter device Claristep® for the preparation of protein samples containing one of four different target molecules, i.e. an anti-malaria vaccine candidate, aviscuminum, interferon alfa-2B or monoclonal antibody (mAb) P2G12. In comparison to the standard protocols for sample preparation prior to analysis by either reversed-phase or SEC HPLC, the Claristep® filter did…

Within the next 10 years, it is estimated that researchers will spend up to 30 percent more time in meetings and their offices, and 20 percent less time in their laboratories. Tomorrow’s research organizations need to be agile, efficient and effective to keep up with the demands of shareholders and customers. Speed to market continues…

The Cubis® II balance series was designed for customizable modularity, which means the user can choose from many hardware and software options for thousands of different configurations. Choose from among 45 weighing modules, seven draft shields, two display and control units, and five software packages, including more than 60 software Apps.

Water is an excellent and non-toxic solvent. That is why life on Earth is so dependent on it, and why it is the reagent of choice for much wet laboratory work across many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, and physics. However, for the researcher, the strong solvent properties of water can pose a problem: it…

What should you consider when selecting a vacuum compatible positioner? This article outlines the basics of a vacuum system and presents considerations to keep in mind when gathering requirements for your application. It focuses on motion control and what is essential to achieve reliable performance without compromising vacuum requirements.

What should you consider when selecting a direct drive linear motor? Linear motors, one type of direct drive technology, have developed into a drive type ideal for precision motion control applications. We compare rotary and linear motors and direct and indirect drive systems, highlight benefits of linear motor types, and discuss the benefits of Zaber’s…
