ACE C18-PFP is a unique C18 bonded HPLC column from Advanced Chromatography Technologies, which has been developed to provide alternate selectivity to all existing C18 bonded phases. The phase combines the hydrophobic characteristics of a C18 phase with the alternate selectivity offered by a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) phase – enabling the benefits of multiple interactions to be fully exploited.
ACE C18-PFP also exhibits ultra low bleed to ensure LC/MS compatibility and demonstrates excellent temperature and pH stability…

Improve your analytical syringe performance with SGE's new electronic syringe system, eVolTM.
An electronic digital drive that combines with the new XchangeTM syringes, eVol can accurately dispense volumes between 200nl and 500ul using just 3 different volume syringes. The positive displacement of the Xchange syringes is ideal for handling none aqueous solvents, as well as water based solutions. Various modes include repeat and continuous dispense. Custom methods can also be created for developing mixing routines or controlled speed dispense, for e.g. TLC spotting. There is a specific kit for use with NMR for the preparation of standards and also kits to allow the automation of sample preparation using SGE's MEPSTM (MicroExtraction by Packed Sorbent)…

Sherwood Scientific’s lab-scale Model 501 Fluid Bed Dryer offers significant advantages over conventional drying techniques and is particularly suited to preparation of small trial samples.
The high rate of heat and mass transfer achieved with a fluid bed dryer ensures much faster and more homogeneous drying than obtained using other methods; such as oven and vacuum drying. Complete drying is usually achieved in less than 15 minutes, with the exact time for a given sample being very repeatable. Inlet air flow rate and temperature settings are closely monitored and adjusted in this modern microprocessor controlled dryer. The Model 501’s fluidising action ensures thorough mixing…
