14 More Affordable Ultra High Purity Hydrogen Solution Introduced
Peak Scientific has extended its range of industry-leading, hydrogen generators for laboratories with the launch of the Precision Hydrogen Trace 250. The new, smaller model sits alongside the existing Hydrogen Trace 500, to offer a more cost-effective solution for those requiring lower flow rates, such as labs with only one or two GC instruments. The new Hydrogen Trace 250 features new innovations in trace dryer technology that ensures ultra high purity performance.
For those currently using hydrogen or considering hydrogen as a carrier gas for GC and GC-MS, this generator delivers 250cc/min of hydrogen at 99.9999% purity to meet market demand from laboratories. Incorporating the same compact, modular form factor as all Precision units allows users to build a Precision stack to meet their specific application’s gas requirements, whilst taking up minimal laboratory floor-space.
Peace of mind and ease of use are at the heart of the Precision Hydrogen Trace’s design, with no maintenance required, comprehensive rapid response on-site warranty and both automatic water loading pump and cascading capability provided as standard. The Precision Hydrogen Trace 250 offers a safe, hassle-free supply of carrier grade hydrogen that can improve laboratory productivity and performance.
GC Product Manager, Greg Stringfellow commented: “We have introduced the new Precision Hydrogen Trace 250 to give our customers a more cost-effective hydrogen carrier gas option for those looking for the unique benefits of Peak Precision, but may not require the higher flow of the existing Hydrogen Trace 500. Flexibility is a core benefit of the Precision series as a whole so this is a welcome addition to the series.”
As is the case with all Peak Scientific generators, the Precision Hydrogen Trace 250 comes backed up by Peak’s market-leading customer service and technical support available locally and on-site the world over. For further information, visit

More Flexibility Through Detector-of-Choice Concept
New Method Development Kits for UHPLC/HPLC
ACE columns offer chromatographers an extremely powerful and reliable approach to UHPLC and HPLC method development. Based upon an ultra-inert, high efficiency silica, ACE phases incorporate the latest developments in LC stationary phase design, providing chromatographers with more choices for alternative selectivity, without compromising stability or robustness.
ACE Method Development Kits are designed to maximise selectivity – the key to resolution in chromatography. A complete range of kits for all requirements is available, including kits featuring porous, solid-core and bioanalytical 300Å particle columns. These kits group together the essential column chemistries for method development. Specific products include the Advanced Method Development Kit (C18, C18-AR and C18-PFP chemistries available in 1.7, 2, 3 and 5µm porous particles), the Extended Method Development Kit (SuperC18, C18-Amide and CN-ES chemistries available in 1.7, 2, 3 and 5µm porous particles), the Solid- Core Method Development Kit (SuperC18 and SuperPhenylHexyl available in 2.5 and 5µm solid-core particles) and the Bioanalytical 300Å Method Development Kit (C18-300, C4-300 and Phenyl-300 chemistries available in 3 and 5µm particles). These kits are available in a wide range of column lengths and internal diameters including 0.5mm and 1.0mm microbore formats. ACE Method Development Kits are convenient and extremely cost effective providing up to 3 columns for the cost of a single column.
Shimadzu has introduced a new model of the i-Series integrated HPLC and UHPLC (Ultra High Perfor mance Liquid Chro matograph) systems family. The new and additional Prominence-i version named LC-2030 LT is a detectorless model giving the users the flexibility of adding any detector of their choice.
The intuitive operation of the system allows even inexperienced operators to ob tain high quality data easily. Prominence-i LC-2030 LT comes without the integrated UV or PDA detector, enabling flexible selection of detectors to be used, such as fluorescence, RID or LC-MS.
Particularly for food applications, the combination with the LCMS-2020 single quadrupole mass spectrometer provides excellent qualita tive capacities, enabling accurate, high- quality quantitative and qualitative analysis.
LC-MS is capable of separation by mass and the identification of components from MS spectral information. As a result, LC-MS is used widely in the field of food analy sis. This includes the analysis of a wide range of analytes, from effective to toxic components.
The i-Series (U)HPLC systems help users to improve their workflow with automation, high throughput, ecological features and compatibility with mobile devices while main- taining adaptability with existing methods for easy transfer. In addition to the uncom promised efficiency and quality of analysis, operators benefit from intuitive operation of the colour touch panel, remote monitoring and control by smartphone or tablet PC as well as advanced startup and shutdown functions.
These features make the i-Series family an intelligent instrument which fits both large labs requiring high throughput operation as well as small labs with limited bench space. The i-Series increases productivity, e.g. in R&D, quality control and safety testing, while minimising operator workload, cost of ownership and environmental impact.

Honeywell Completes Acquisition of Research Chemicals Business from Sigma-Aldrich
Honeywell have announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Seelze, Germany-based laboratory research chemicals business from Sigma- Aldrich, broadening Honeywell’s offerings for high-purity solutions for drug discovery, medical diagnostic testing and other laboratory applications.
The acquisition includes the Fluka-branded solvents and inorganic chemistry portfolio worldwide and the Sigma-Aldrich-branded solvents and inorganic chemistry portfolio in the European Economic Area (EEA). Those offerings are now part of Honeywell’s broader portfolio of offerings for research chemicals, which already includes the Riedel-de Haën®
and Burdick & Jackson® brands.
“The combined Honeywell business will be able to serve a broader range of customers and applications with global brands recognised for world- class quality and lot-to-lot consistency – essential for a range of applications including drug synthesis, food, environmental, chemical and forensic testing,” said Qamar Bhatia, President of Honeywell’s Specialty Products business. “To make the transition process as seamless as possible, customers will still order products directly through Sigma-Aldrich and receive the same level of dedicated customer, technical and logistical support as they always have.”
high-purity solvents for chromatography, a technique used to separate and analyse complex mixtures; Riedel- high-quality research chemicals used in pharmaceutical production and bioscience; Burdick & Jackson® reagents and chromatography products for laboratories and pharmaceutical production; Sigma-Aldrich® the European Economic Area.
The Honeywell portfolio now includes six product lines: Fluka® and pharmaceutical applications; Hydranal® and solids; Chromasolv® de Haën®
high-purity solvents, solvents and inorganics sold into
The acquired business employs approximately 200 people, primarily in Seelze, with sales and marketing personnel throughout Europe. Honeywell’s Seelze plant, which manufactures Riedel-de Haën-branded products, currently makes the majority of the products in the acquired business.
The acquired business will be integrated into Honeywell’s Fine Chemicals business and will continue to be led by the core leadership team of the acquired company. With two production sites, Seelze and Muskegon, Mich., in the US, the combined business unit will be able to develop and manufacture high-purity research chemicals and other materials used in new drug discovery, medical diagnostic testing and other laboratory applications.
