Calibrating a flow meter for HPLC pumping systems is best left to the experts. Do not try it at home. But since you landed on this post, we’ll tell you how it is done by the experts.
Experts are required to calibrate flow meters for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC ) pumping systems because it is an exacting exercise involving a high-precision measuring instrument. We’ll explain why in a bit. But first, a brief introduction to flow meters in general....
Porvair Sciences Ltd, a leading supplier of separation and filtration technology for life science and healthcare applications, is hitting the small screen in a special showcase of its healthcare expertise.
Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, reports on the research & development work of Professor Patrick Giraudeau and his group at the University of Nantes.
Porvair Sciences has posted a new online video demonstrating how nitrogen blowdown evaporators offer a useful tool for removing the solvent dry-down bottleneck in LC/MS sample preparation.
In the new video the presenter demonstrates how nitrogen blowdown evaporators can quickly and easily remove most chromatographic solvents, enabling fast recovery of dry compounds and allowing re-suspension of unknown mixtures in optimised solvents for LC/MS analysis. Additionally, the video introduces Porvair Sciences complete range of MiniVap and UltraVap blowdown evaporators. Blowdown evaporators give significant throughput advantages...
