Two New Phases to Core-Shell HPLC Column Line
Gas Chromatography App on the App Store
Agilent Technologies, Inc announced that a GC Calculator App is now available on the App Store. The GC Calculator is a first-of-its-kind gas chromatography app for the iPhone and iPod touch. The GC pressure and flow calculator app can be used to instantly and accurately determine pressures and flows through open tubular capillary columns. The app is based on the popular PC version that has been downloaded more than 10,000 times from the Agilent website.
“Agilent continues to provide innovative solutions to help our customers drive productivity,” said Anne Jones, Vice President of Agilent’s Chemistries Division. “Our customers can use this practical and convenient app anywhere and at anytime to quickly see how different GC conditions will affect their column flow and pressure before setting up their system.”
The GC Calculator App is available free of charge from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. Agilent GC Calculator works with iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, the original iPhone, and iPod touch.
Phenomenex, Inc announces the addition of two new phases in its successful Kinetex core-shell HPLC/UHPLC column family. Kinetex XB-C18 and Kinetex C8 bring the advantages of ultra-high liquid chromatography performance (UHPLC) within standard HPLC operating pressures to a growing list of applications. Kinetex core-shell technology meets researchers’ need to improve results and increase productivity without large capital expenditures.
The new Kinetex XB-C18 provides a unique selectivity, incorporating two iso-butyl side chains at the base of the C18 ligand to reduce secondary interactions with residual silanols. These columns deliver enhanced separation and peak shape of basic compounds under neutral and acidic pH conditions. In comparison studies with other C18 columns, this new Kinetex phase has produced differences in peak elution order and improved separation of co-eluting compounds.
The new Kinetex C8 phase meets the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) specifications for Classification Code L7, enabling laboratories using L7 columns to realise the benefits of Kinetex core-shell technology while staying compliant with USP-allowable adjustments.
“We introduced our revolutionary Kinetex core-shell technology one year ago, and the market response and adoption rate have exceeded our expectations,” commented Jeremy Bierman, Brand Manager for Phenomenex. “We’re pleased to add these two new phases to the three we initially offered. Our product development team will continue to bring even more core-shell resources to the chromatography field.” The new Kinetex core-shell columns are available in two particle sizes – 2.6- and 1.7- micron – and in variety of column dimensions.

Agilent introduced an LC Calculator App earlier this year, also available free of charge from the App Store, which includes hundreds of Agilent column configurations and other method parameters to improve chromatography. Scenarios can be quickly formed and compared with a simple tap or swipe on the innovative multi-touch user interface to discover what combination of parameters work best to increase analysis speed and lab productivity.

New HPLC System for Neurotransmitter Analysis
Dionex Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction a new HPLC system specifically designed for electrochemical detection with high sensitivity for analysis of monoamines, amino acids, acetylcholine and neurodegenerative disease markers. The ESA Coulochem®
3000 platform now provides the most sensitive and reliable analytical system available electrochemical detector - used for over 40 years by
neuroscientists for attomole sensitivity in neurotransmitter analysis—combined with the innovations found in the award-winning UltiMate® on the market today.
A new ultra-low noise pump enables low limits of detection. The split-loop autosampler delivers accurate sampling from low volume microdialysis samples while minimising sample waste. Combined with the Chromeleon® chromatography data system with enhanced workflow functions this instrument provides the reliability and performance needed for neurotransmitter analysis.
Circle no. 47 ADVERTORIAL A Touch of Genius
Peak Scientific have enjoyed a buoyant year fuelled by a desire to improve its products and become a ‘best of breed’ manufacturer, taking huge steps in improving the quality and functionality of their generators. Peak have re-designed their core range of Nitrogen gas generators, implementing a series of highly beneficial improvements unique to the marketplace.
“We have worked tirelessly to improve on the existing range of systems. Our engineers can be justly proud of their achievements and we have called the new range ‘Genius’ to reflect the innovative developments devised for our products.”
The new range overall includes four models. ‘Genius NM32LA’ is the smarter brother of the NM30LA. The new model meets the requirements – pure nitrogen - for almost all LCMS Models available in the market today. The new ‘Genius NM32LA’ removes oxygen, moisture and other gases to leave clean, dry phthalate free Nitrogen. Two internal air compressors make this model independent from in-house air supplies. Fitted castors allow the unit to nimbly fit into tight lab spaces and the unit has been approved by major mass spec manufacturers for their LCMS applications.
www.peakscientific.com We have nothing to declare but
The ‘Genius AB-3G’ has been re-designed with additional compressor capacity. The smart in-built Alert System warns the users of any impending issues but manages the compressors to maintain a full output flow for the generator.
Peak’s 3G Range is technically advanced, particularly in terms of safeguards. These safeguards are unique to Peak and effectively deliver ‘reassurance and confidence for critical functions’.
“These generators are a completely new design in terms of engineering and end user benefits. We feel confident we offer the best gas generators on the market. Our after sales service is still world class, though you may not need it very often with these new models” .
Touch of Genius indeed. Circle no. 266 Circle no. 48
Life is a gas at Peak Scientific these days! Our dynamic new identity has not only energized our brand but it has also stimulated our engineers to design some remarkable new product developments.
These clever people have greatly improved the performance of our new Gas Generators. So much so, we’ve declared the new range Genius. Smoother, quieter and more efficient than anything on the market, the Genius range offers superb technical performance in the lab and, of course, our world class after sales service comes as standard. Some things are very difficult to improve!
