4 Minimise maintenance time with finger-tight GC fittings
If you’re tired of spending excessive time on column installation and maintenance, look no further. Finger-tight fittings offer a quicker and easier alternative to traditional fittings, ensuring leak-tight connections with minimal effort.
In addition, Restek’s finger-tight Hot Swap column nuts rapidly dissipate heat, allowing you to change columns while the injector remains hot, without the risk of burns or the need to wait for the instrument to cool down. Pair your Hot Swap fittings with finger-tight capillary gauges to maintain consistent insertion distances, reducing variability and enhancing chromatographic performance.
Restek’s finger-tight fittings are now compatible with Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, and Thermo GCs, simplifying operations and orders across all your instruments. Make the switch today to boost sample throughput and elevate lab productivity.

HPLC tubing straightener and pliers
These pliers from MicroSolv Technology Corporation can ensure you have good internal flow path in your HPLC tubing to avoid band broadening and other flow issues. Including soft grips and two centre holes where one hole is slightly larger than 1/16” and the other is slightly larger than 1/8”. This tool for chromatography is designed to remove kinks and bends in stainless steel tubing or for making seamless bends when you squeeze the pliers. This will help to insure you have a good internal flow path in your HPLC stainless steel tubing and no void problems due to bent or kinked tubing.
The Beta Tool-2™ features a shorter and rounded nose than most precision pliers and it can reach further into an HPLC Instrument to work with tubing that is already installed. You can now enhance your data with improved flow.

Automated sample prep for streamlined chromatography
Tecan has introduced Resolvex Prep, an innovative mid-range benchtop automation solution tailored for chromatography sample preparation. This new instrument is poised to significantly improve the efficiency, precision, and dependability of chromatography sample preparation, bearing considerable relevance for analytical chemistry, proteomics, and applications within the field of biomedical research.
Sample preparation for chromatography is a critical and technically intricate undertaking. Even slight variations can profoundly affect downstream assays. Through the automation of this process, laboratories can not only save valuable time and resources but also bolster the reliability of their outcomes.
Specifically designed for chromatography workflows, Resolvex Prep is ideally suited for LC-MS sample preparation. It offers the capability to process a wide range of batch sizes, spanning from five to 100 samples. As such, it is particularly well-suited to medium- throughput laboratories. Moreover, it presents a cost-effective solution for enhancing both productivity and sample quality.
Resolvex Prep effectively addresses numerous challenges associated with chromatography sample preparation. By employing direct displacement pipetting, it mitigates the risks connected with volatile solvents. Additionally, it accommodates sealed sample tubes to prevent evaporation during processing. Notably, this automated system contributes to mitigating the existing shortage of trained laboratory personnel and is in compliance with chain of custody requirements.
A distinctive feature of Resolvex Prep is its fusion of high-quality, precision-engineered hardware with user-centric software characterised by its user-friendliness. The system can be mastered in less than an hour, and its robust yet adaptable configuration streamlines efficiency while minimising the potential for human error, ultimately resulting in precise and dependable outcomes.
Luca Valeggia, Senior Vice President of Lab Automation at Tecan, remarked: “We’re very pleased to be launching this new instrument. Bringing automation to the critical task of LC-MS sample prep will accelerate progress in a whole range of applications, from MS-based proteomics to biologics quality control, as well as food and environmental testing. It’s another contribution Tecan is making to help scale healthcare innovation globally.”
The versatility of Resolvex Prep makes it an invaluable addition to analytical laboratories across various domains, including pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, food and beverage, forensics, and quality control processes.

Extended range of real-time liquid flowmeters
Biotech Fluidics has expanded its family of non-invasive flowmeters, offering real-time liquid flow monitoring across a wide range. The expanded collection comprises four distinct devices, optimised to operate from nanolitres per minute to 650 millilitres per minute.
In the range of 0.01 to 80 µL per minute, with an impressive 1nl per minute resolution, the Biotech Micro Flow Meter excels in precisely monitoring extremely low flow rates. This makes it ideal for applications like UHPLC, LC/MS, and micro-/nanoscale bioprocessing.
The Biotech HPLC Flow Meter, calibrated in the 1µL to 5mL per minute range, seamlessly connects in-line to provide continuous liquid flow rate measurements from HPLC and GPC/SEC systems, as well as flow chemistry reactors.
Extending the range further, the new Biotech Semi-Prep Flow Meter, catering to flow rates of up to 40 mL/min, is a valuable tool for monitoring and validating pumps across various preparative HPLC applications.
The Biotech High Flow Meter operates efficiently at liquid flow rates of up to 650mL per minute, boasting a 0.02 mL per minute resolution. It proves instrumental in optimising processes, particularly for monitoring preparative chromatographs used to produce larger quantities of pure compounds.
Each compact Biotech Flow Meter includes user-friendly PC software for continuous recording, monitoring, and data storage of measured flow rates. Providing real-time data, the integral OLED display facilitates the identification of transient pulsations, enhancing users’ insight into device flow stability. Biotech Flowmeters are highly dependable and compatible with a wide range of solvents and liquid reagents.
