Dear Chromatographer,

 

Thank you for choosing to subscribe to the CHROMSPEC e-Chronicle. Our intention is for this to be a vehicle for sharing information of general interest to Canadian Chromatographers, including new products, literature, services and sales and specials.

 

CSI encourages you to contact our knowledgeable Technical Support Team with any questions that you may have. Our Technical Team is staffed by qualified chromatographers who have undergone further product-specific training by our world renowned suppliers. If they can’t answer your question, they should be able to find one of our suppliers that can.

 

New products featured in this issue

Restek originally designed the new Rtx®-PCB column specifically for the analysis of PCBs, but it has proven to have good response to other analytes such as semivolatiles and active compounds. An excellent column for GC-MS analysis!

 

Agilent offers the HP-5MSi Advanced Inertness MS column, specifically tested for inertness for active compounds including acidic and basic compounds.

Technical Tips

Fast LC – Using Temperature to Speed Up LC Separations

Higher Temp = Higher Flows = Faster Separations

Switching to smaller LC columns is not your only alternative to increasing sample throughput. Increasing column oven temperature can significantly decrease run times by enabling the chromatographer to utilize higher flow rates without losses in resolution or efficiency.

 

Guide to Syringe Filter Selection

Filtration by syringe filters is one the most common techniques for clarifying chromatography samples prior to injection.  This technical note provides helpful tips for selecting the best syringe filter for your application.
