Inert HPLC columns enhance biotherapeutic analysis
for applications such as GLP-1 and oligonucleotide drug development – combines advanced inert surface technology with exceptional reproducibility and reliability.
A new range of inert HPLC columns from Agilent is helping biopharma researchers achieve sharper separations and higher sensitivity in peptide and oligonucleotide analysis. The Altura line – designed
Developed to meet the growing demands of biotherapeutic R&D and QC, Altura columns deliver faster conditioning, improved peak shape, and enhanced detection sensitivity. When paired with Agilent’s 1290 Infi nity III Bio LC, the system achieves up to 30 times higher peak areas compared to conventional columns.
By minimising analyte-surface interactions and ensuring consistent performance across challenging biomolecules, the Altura range

High-precision GPC/SEC triple detector
Chromatography (SEC) to new heights. This system delivers comprehensive, accurate insights into macromolecules - from proteins and polysaccharides to synthetic polymers.
Testa Analytical has introduced Trinity, a state-of-the-art triple detector platform designed to push Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and Size Exclusion
Unlike standard GPC/SEC setups, Trinity doesn’t just measure molecular weight. Its integrated Differential Refractive Index (DRI), Multi-Angle Light Scattering (MALS), and Viscometer detectors provide absolute molecular weight, intrinsic viscosity, and Mark-Houwink coeffi cients. This combination allows researchers to probe chain fl exibility, molecular density, and branching with confi dence, revealing structural details that go far beyond conventional analysis.
GPC/SEC
Precision and reproducibility are at the heart of Trinity. Each detector features independent temperature control, ensuring consistent performance day after day. Paired with intuitive, feature-rich software, Trinity makes it easy to capture, analyse, and visualise complex data without compromising on detail.
For labs seeking a deeper understanding of macromolecular architecture, Trinity offers a robust, reliable,and user-friendly solution for high-level GPC/SEC analysis.

A leading pharmaceutical company is enhancing its lab sustainability with 17 SPR-200 solvent recyclers from Biotech Fluidics, designed to reclaim solvents from HPLC workfl ows.
The SPR-200 works with most HPLC systems, tracking detector outputs in real time to recover up to 90% of mobile phase. During isocratic runs, the purifi ed solvent is automatically redirected to a dedicated reservoir, ready for reuse.
Standalone and externally powered, the unit avoids potential IT integration issues while providing an intuitive interface via an LED screen and membrane keyboard. Users can easily confi gure operations, monitor recovery, and generate a full audit trail of reclaimed solvents.
Fritiof Ponten, CEO of Biotech Fluidics, said: “The SPR-200 not only improves the environmental footprint of your lab but also pays for itself quickly by recycling nearly all the solvent used in isocratic HPLC systems.”

Advanced temperature stability for HPLC columns
Torrey Pines Scientifi c has introduced the EchoTherm™ HPLC Column Oven Model CO20, designed to deliver precise thermal stability for high-performance liquid chromatography applications.
Covering a range from ambient to 90°C, the CO20 allows setpoints in 0.1°C increments and maintains accuracy within ±0.1°C. A front- panel stability indicator ensures users know when the chamber is within ±0.2°C of the target temperature.
The oven accommodates columns up to 30 cm in length with diameters of ¼″ or 3/8″, secured in mounting clips that can be removed to fi t larger columns when required. Practical features include a clear digital display of both set and actual temperatures, an injection counter, a 30-day timer with alarm, and a programmable Auto-Off function. An optional stand is also available.
