Minimising sample loss with low-reactivity uncoated autosampler vials


In high-precision analytical workfl ows, even the vial can infl uence your results. Microsolv’s RSA™ (Reduced Surface Activity) Autosampler Vials are uniquely engineered to eliminate a common source of variability - surface interactions - without relying on coatings.


By starting with a cleaner, more inert glass surface, RSA™ vials help ensure your samples stay true from injection to analysis.


Unlike coated vials that rely on surface treatments to reduce reactivity, RSA™ vials are completely uncoated. Instead, they are manufactured using a proprietary process that inherently reduces surface activity in the glass itself.


This eliminates the need for coatings, which can degrade over time or introduce unwanted variables into sensitive analyses.

New innovation in GC gas generation technology


By minimising reactive sites such as silanols, RSA™ vials provide a more stable and inert environment for your samples. This is especially critical when working with low- concentration or adsorption-prone compounds like peptides, proteins, and basic drugs.


Designed for universal compatibility with all major autosamplers, RSA™ vials are a practical upgrade for laboratories aiming to improve reproducibility and reduce variability. Whether you’re conducting pharmaceutical, environmental, or clinical research, these uncoated vials offer a dependable solution for high-performance workfl ows.

Speed up your oligonucleotide analysis in under 2 minutes


Precise and rapid analysis of oligonucleotides is essential for modern production workfl ows. Reliable and effi cient quality control helps maintain consistent product quality while keeping development and manufacturing processes on schedule. YMC’s Application Note demonstrates how a six-oligonucleotide mixture (12-33mer) can be fully resolved using a 30 mm YMC Accura BioPro IEX QF column at 70°C, delivering high-resolution chromatographic results in under two minutes.


Despite its very short column length, the method provides excellent separation performance. The compact format supports ultra-fast analysis without compromising resolution, making it ideal for high-throughput laboratories. The bioinert Accura hardware,


combined with the robust BioPro IEX QF resin, ensures reliable peak shapes and minimises unwanted interactions that can occur when analysing sensitive oligonucleotides. This inert design also reduces carry-over, contributing to consistent and reproducible workfl ows.


Operating the column at 70°C offers a signifi cant advantage: elevated temperatures reduce the formation of secondary structures within the oligonucleotides.


As a result, peak shapes are sharper, effi ciency increases, and overall separation performance improves. This makes the method particularly useful for laboratories working with complex or structure-prone oligonucleotides, where peak broadening and poor resolution are common challenges.


In summary, the method offers a combination of speed, stability, and precision that is highly benefi cial for modern oligonucleotide analytics. Key advantages include: Analysis times below two minutes, ideal for high sample throughput; Accurate and reliable separation of six oligonucleotides, even with a 30 mm column; Enhanced peak sharpness due to elevated temperature operation; Bioinert hardware, minimising adsorption and ensuring long-term reproducibility; Robust method transferability, as high-temperature operation reduces variability across instruments and laboratories.


The YMC Accura BioPro IEX QF column is therefore a powerful solution for routine oligonucleotide analysis, supporting effi cient

workfl ows in research, development, and large-scale production. Its combination of thermal stability, bioinertness, and superior separation effi ciency ensures high-quality results, even under the tight time constraints of fast analytical cycles.

Compact GC helping universities teach chromatography without the cost


Teaching labs and small research groups need hands-on chromatography, not long waits for instrument time. Many still rely on oversized or ageing systems that are hard to timetable and expensive to run. The Ellutia 200 Series GC gives departments a practical option: a compact, single-channel gas chromatograph that’s easy to set up, simple to use, and priced for education.


The origin story is straightforward. Ellutia designed the 200 Series for teaching fi rst: small and light enough to move between rooms or store when space is tight, but with the performance staff expect from a full-size system. In use, universities found the capability matched larger, costlier instruments, while the lower entry cost and easy operation made it a strong fi t for labs starting GC for the fi rst time. Recent case studies (Cranfi eld and Surrey) show how teams put the system in front of students and keep it running through busy terms.


For research groups, a secondary GC takes routine runs off shared GC-MS systems, reducing queues and allowing more students


to spend time at the bench. For teaching teams, complete education packages bring together the instrument, columns, gases/ plumbing, consumables, lesson packs, installation, and training—so the system is ready to run upon delivery.


To learn more about the 200 series GC and for further details on how the GC fi ts into higher education, you can download the Gas Chromatography for Teaching & Research — 200 Series Buyer’s Guide and share it with your technical team.
