Method Development System

The HIC-ESP is a new anion suppressor ion chromatograph with built-in electrodialytic suppressor, boasting the same low carryover and excellent injection precision characteristic of Shimadzu HPLCs to bring you highly-reliable results. The newly developed anion suppressor prevents peak spreading and achieves high sensitivity, providing stable functionality even over long periods of use.

Carotenoids and their derivatives are versatile isoprenoids based on a C40 tetraterpenoid skeleton and play a vital role in plants and animals, but, due to their high variability in the chemical structures, isomerization, poor stability and lack of commercially available standards, their identication in real samples is a challenging task.

LabSolutions™ MD improves method development efficiency by taking an Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) approach. This software efficiently develops highly reliable analysis methods by configuring mobile phases, columns, and other parameters using an analysis function that automatically generates analysis schedules with the experimental design method and a data analysis function that plots a design space and predicted chromatogram.

Preparative SFC is a groundbreaking separation and purification technology. It has a number of advantages in comparison to preparative LC including simplified posttreatment, shorter analysis times, and different separation selectivity. With preparative SFC, the injection of large sample volumes is often required in order to increase the recovered amount.

The approach for the SFC analytical condition development process is basically the same as for determining analytical conditions for HPLC.

This issue focuses on "Forensics / Toxicology", an area where science and technology are particularly important and needed. It starts with two customer interviews.
