41 Chromatography New GCMS SQ with advanced ion source for faster, easier maintenance


The redesigned internal structure of GCMS-Qp2050 from Shimadzu enhances robustness while significantly reducing maintenance time, ensuring stable and reliable data collection. One of the key innovations is the new ion source, which cuts maintenance time by up to 95% compared to previous models. This minimises downtime and streamlines user operations. High sensitivity & long-term stability: A newly designed quadrupole with pre-rods improves ion transmission and prevents contamination, boosting sensitivity 2.5x over conventional models. This ensures precise, long-term analysis with minimal performance degradation.


Simplified maintenance: The contamination-resistant filament structure extends component lifespan, reducing replacement frequency by up to 80%. The redesigned ion source simplifies upkeep - tasks that once took 25 minutes now take just 1 minute.


Compact, space-saving design: With a width of 280 mm, the GCMS-QP2050 is the smallest in its class. When paired with the compact GC-2050, it achieves a 27% reduction in footprint, maximising lab space.


Smart automation & remote aAccess: AI-powered Peakintelligence software enables automated, high-accuracy data processing. The system also features real-time workflow tracking and remote monitoring via LAN, allowing users to check instrument status and control operations from anywhere.


Designed to enhance productivity and ease of use, the GCMS-QP2050 sets a new standard in GC-MS technology, enabling faster analysis, greater precision, and reduced operational burden. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/v57n

Expanded range of prepacked chromatography columns for biotherapeutic purifi cation


Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc has introduced the Foresight™ Pro 45 cm inner diameter (ID) chromatography column. Designed to support large-scale downstream purification, the new column provides biopharmaceutical manufacturers with a reliable solution for processing biomolecules such as vaccines, antibodies, and recombinant proteins.


Expanding on the existing Foresight Pro column range, which includes diameters from 5 to 33 cm, the 45 cm ID column offers seamless integration into downstream workflows. Manufactured and packed in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom, these good manufacturing practice (GMP)-ready columns ensure consistency and performance. The standardised design is available in various diameters and bed heights and can be prepacked with CHT™ Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Media Type I, Type II, or XT. CHT Media’s unique composition, Ca10(PO4)6OH2, enables biomolecule purification through metal affinity interactions with calcium atoms and cation exchange interactions via phosphate groups.


“The launch of our 45 cm ID Foresight Pro Column directly responds to customer demand for larger-scale solutions,” said Diab Elmashni, Director of Process Chromatography at Bio-Rad Laboratories. “Unlike other suppliers that may combine multiple resin batches, Bio-Rad’s columns are packed with a single lot of CHT Media, ensuring consistency and superior technical and application support for biopharmaceutical manufacturers.”

New HPLC column oven: Precision temperature control to 90°C


The EchoTherm™ HPLC Column Oven Model CO20 from Torrey Pines Scientific is designed to deliver precise temperature control for HPLC columns. With a temperature range from room temperature to 90°C, the CO20 offers exceptional accuracy, adjustable in 0.1°C increments. The oven is equipped with advanced PID control software that maintains temperatures within ±0.1°C, ensuring reliable and consistent results.


The CO20 holds columns up to 30 cm long and accommodates ¼” or 3/8” diameter columns, with space for guard columns and fittings. For larger diameter columns, the included column clips can be removed. The oven features easy-to-use controls, a digital display for both target and actual temperatures, an injection counter, and a 30-day timer with alarm and customisable Auto-Off settings. A stable temperature indicator light on the front panel signals when the target temperature is within ±0.2°C.


Operating on 12V DC power, the CO20 includes a universal power supply, 3-wire AC line cord, counter cable, and a 12-month warranty. It is ETL, CSA, and CE compliant, ensuring global compatibility and safety. An optional accessory stand is also available.
