We recently interacted with a prospect who was looking at buying a new HPLC because the cost of getting their old HPLC up and running with the latest software was shockingly high. This is a recurring theme that we encounter repeatedly, which has guided our philosophy in charging for software. Our software is free. Always…

Daniel Nason explains what this week’s testing application is, testing Trazadone in a Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC). Trazadone is a drug compound that is widely used as a sleep aid and for anxiety.
In a previous blog post we ran diesel contaminated oil with great success without the need for backflushing. Afterward we were contacted by labs that do this type of testing and they asked if we could use Heptane as a wash solvent rather than Dichloromethane. The reason was that they already had a waste stream…
