Enhanced degassing for nanofluidic precision Biotech Fluidics is pleased to introduce two new models to its DEGASi®


enhanced performance and versatility. Designed for nanofluidic studies, the DEGASi®


ensuring broad chemical compatibility.


Plus Nano, with an internal volume of only 25µl, is optimised for degassing fluid flows up to 100 uL/minute. Additionally, Biotech Fluidics offers an Ultra version of this degasser, boasting a minimal hold-up volume of just 6uL, ideal for extremely low flow applications (up to 25 uL/minute).


Nanofluidic studies play a pivotal role in analysing liquid properties and transport phenomena at the nanoscale, typically ranging from 1 nL/min to 100 nL/min. These studies have applications in biomolecular research, energy conversion, medicine, and water desalination, as well as the synthesis of novel nanomaterials. The DEGASi®


Both the Nano and Nano-Ultra degassers are constructed with Systec AF membrane, ensuring compatibility with water-based media and most organic liquids (excluding alkanes and fluorinated solvents). The liquid flow path is metal-free, guaranteeing full biocompatibility. The inclusion of female 10-32 coned ports for liquid connectors allows compatibility with even the smallest ID tubing. Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, the operating temperature for both DEGASi® Nano systems is 4-60?C, utilising the reliable ZHCR Vacuum technology.


Designed to occupy a compact bench footprint, the new Nano and Nano-Ultra degassers are available in configurations ranging from 1 to 6 channels, serving as standalone units or OEM solutions to meet diverse user requirements.

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.

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.

PES syringe filters


One of the best all-around syringe filters for HPLC, LCMS and ICP-MS is the Advanced Quality AQ™ polyether sulfone (PES) membrane syringe filters when the sample size is very small or very precious and sample recovery is required. These filters are available from Microsolv Technology Corporation with either a 0.22 um or 0.45 um porosity, in a 4 mm, 13 mm, and 25 mm polypropylene device.

Clarify your samples for analysis


Gilson SupaTop™ Syringe Filters are a reliable and cost-effective solution for the removal of particles and clarification needs.


For sample volumes up to 100 mL, Gilson SupaTop™ Syringe Filters provide a quick, convenient, and reliable method of clarifying liquids intended for further analysis such as the clarification of samples prior to HPLC injection to combat particulate clogging of columns.


Avoid filter blowout and lost samples due to high burst strength and durable construction. Maintain precious sample integrity with pigment-free, sealant-free housing. Minimise interference under the most sensitive analytical conditions, with limited release of UV-absorbing materials. Save time and avoid costly errors by selecting the correctly colour-coded syringe filter, every time. Select a filter matched to your needs, whatever your application.
