Genevac has established a new web page that brings together customer technical articles that illustrate how centrifugal evaporation has become a sample preparation technique of choice for laboratories that seek to analyse complex samples using hyphenated mass spectrometry [MS] techniques.
Many laboratories still rely upon the use of a rotary evaporator to perform the evaporation part of their sample preparation protocol prior to LC-MS or GC-MS analysis. While rotary evaporator methods often give good recoveries, they can only handle a single sample, require continuous monitoring to control the process and to ensure that no foaming or bumping occurs....

Thanks to the invention of vial inserts, valuable limited-volume samples can effortlessly be placed into a full-capacity vial for analysis by maximizing sample retrieval, thereby making the sampling process more efficient.
There are two key elements that are necessary to create the ‘gold standard’ of vial inserts. The first is a precision-formed mandrel interior that creates a uniform shape, allowing you to produce and publish reproducible results of the highest quality. The second is the placement of polymer feet (a bottom spring) that self-centers the insert within the vial, and ensures that the autosampler syringe needle gets every last bit of your sample....
The Chromatographic Society is to once again hold a four-day chromatography educational event for post-graduate students and novice chromatographers.
