Celebrating 60 Years of Gas Chromatography
Restek’s new Force performance LC columns give you the power to maximise instrument uptime, increase productivity, and transfer methods across your entire lab, from your trusted-but-aged HPLC to the cutting-edge UHPLC you just plumbed last week. This incredibly rugged and supremely consistent column line represents the culmination of Restek’s twenty-plus years in LC dedicated to continually improving phase chemistries, lot and lifetime testing, and bonding and packing procedures.
Long-lasting and reproducible, new Force columns maintain stable retention times and peak shapes, even under the stress of elevated UHPLC pressures and rapid cycling. Premium quality is ensured by strict manufacturing and QC procedures and backed by the strength of the Restek 100% Pure Satisfaction guarantee. And perhaps most important, Force premium LC columns are fully scalable between 3 or 5 µm HPLC and 1.8 µm UHPLC. You can easily transfer between instrument platforms and optimise methods without extensive calculations.
Available in three particle sizes, Force columns feature Restek’s most-popular and highly selective Biphenyl and FluoroPhenyl phases, as well as a general-purpose C18. Meet today’s workflow needs, and prepare for tomorrow’s, by applying Force LC columns to all of your instrument platforms.

HILIC Columns for the Separation of Polar Molecules
Nacalai Tesque offers a novel triazole bonded silica stationary phase which is designed for the HILIC separation of polar molecules. This triazole bonded phase offers higher polarity than non-modified silica columns, which are commonly used for HILIC, resulting in stronger hydrophilic interactions. The positively charged triazole stationary phase also offers an anion- exchange mechanism, enabling the strong retention of acidic compounds. The 2 separation modes, HILIC and ionic interaction, can be controlled by varying key eluent parameters such as pH, concentration of organic solvent and buffer ion strength. COSMOSIL HILIC is available with both 5 and 2.5 micron particle sizes. A COSMOSIL HILIC Application Notebook, containing about 200 chromatograms for the separation of polar compounds using COSMOSIL HILIC columns also available. For more information or to request a copy of the COSMOSIL HILIC Application Notebook contact Hichrom Ltd.

Shimadzu celebrates its 60th GC anniversary in 2016. In Shimadzu’s 140-year history, chromatography has set many milestones that have meanwhile become technical standards serving consumer protection, environmental protection and product safety today.
The practical implementation of the first gas chromatograph for the separation of complex mixtures via partition chromatography is generally attributed to the British scientists A.J. Martin and A.T. James, and Martin was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1952 for this. Shortly after, Shimadzu embarked on this technology and in 1956 developed the first gas chromatograph in Japan, which led to series production of the GC-1A in 1957. At 120 kg, it was a giant compared to today’s much smaller, more powerful and more versatile instruments. With this development, Shimadzu pushed forward the legacy of the founding family of Genzo Shimadzu Junior, one of the ten most important inventors of Japan honoured by the emperor at the time.
‘Contributing to Society through Science and Technology’ is Shimadzu’s core philosophy. This includes continuous development of existing technologies to explore opportunities and to push existing technical boundaries. This has made Shimadzu a market leader and an established name in science and industry.
Much of what has been technically established in GC today has been achieved through hardware
and software milestones. Between the first GC-1A and the current ultra-modern, universal Tracera system with its novel BID (barrier ionisation discharge) detector that can detect all substances except helium and neon, there are numerous world premieres, advances in performance and innovations that have set technical and economic trends and standards.
Today, routine as well as high-end systems define Shimadzu’s product range, from small, versatile systems and ultra-sensitive and highly productive systems to instruments that break new technological ground, for instance the multiple heart-cut technology. Many detectors with innovative technologies such as the BID helium ionisation detector complete the picture. System solutions like detector-switching or splitting, back-flushing or autosamplers provide customised as well as flexible applications.

Nitrogen Dedicated Gas Solution for ELSD & Compact MS Applications Introduced
Peak Scientific, a global leader in laboratory gas generator solutions, has announced the launch of its latest bench-top nitrogen gas generator system, called Solaris. Developed to offer a compact and convenient gas source for labs using ELSD (Evaporative Light Scattering Detector) instruments and Compact Mass Spectrometers, Solaris provides a consistent source of nitrogen gas for these applications, typically requiring lower flow rates and specific purity.
With variable purity in relation to outlet flow and pressure, Solaris is a flexible solution for supplying nitrogen to one or two ELSD instruments, or a single Compact Mass Spec, capable of delivering up to 10L/min and at purity levels of up to 99.5% (at lower flow rates). Available with an optional dedicated air compressor module, Solaris shares a similar design to Peak’s modular Precision series (for GC applications), as the generator can be stacked on top of the compressor making the most of valuable workspace. Its stylish facia also functions as a status indicator as its colour indicative LED light alerts the user when the instrument reaches optimum purity and flow for analysis.
Describing Peak’s new gas generation solution, Product Manager, Petra Gierga stated: “Solaris gives the user a consistent on-demand flow of nitrogen gas and brings efficiency to labs by removing the inconvenience of cylinder changeovers. It also removes the safety concerns of storing large volumes of gas on-site. Solaris has been designed using existing, proven technology making it Peak’s optimal solution for ELSD and Compact Mass Spectrometers applications.”
As with all Peak Scientific products, Solaris, is engineered, assembled and performance tested at the company’s ISO 9001 accredited manufacturing centre in the UK, and is backed with Peak’s market-leading global on-site technical support.
Solaris debuted at the Japan Analytical & Scientific Instruments Show (JASIS), Makuhari Messe, on the 7-9th September. Solaris is available to order directly from Peak Scientific or authorised distributors and shipping now.
