Career days at elementary schools are often filled with excitement as young minds get the opportunity to explore various professions. Recently, I had the privilege of participating in one such event.  As I walked the halls into the classroom where I was to give my presentation, I couldn’t help but to remember when I was…

We’re running out of chemists…

It seemed like a great idea to ship a chemist out with each GC-FID or LC-UV until they started flying off the shelves.  Now we’re concerned we’re gonna run out of chemists.  But there’s nothing better than having a “chemist in a box” along with your analytical system to help walk you through setup, operation,…

How much of a pounding can your Gas Chromatograph take?

Robustness is something that needs to be considered when using a Gas Chromatograph (GC) instrument.  You want a system that is rugged and reliable and able to withstand dirty samples and long batch times, so that you don’t have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting, repairing, or cleaning your GC.  After all, you’ve got…

Core shell columns: What are they and how will they help with my HPLC analysis?

HPLC columns are the crux of a good separation and as we all learned, the smaller the particle size, the higher the efficiency of the column, and the better resolution you will get. This better resolution leads to more peaks being separated out or even close eluting peaks to be baseline resolved.  With smaller particle…

Shouldn’t your GC and GAS generator be completely aware of what each other are doing?

When we first began designing the Lucidity GAS we realized that it was important for the GC and the GAS to be in constant contact with a two way dialogue and to know exactly what each other were doing for maximum safety and minimum gas consumption. If your gas chromatograph is informing your gas generator…

A Lucidity GC uses 1/6 the amount of power of a traditional Gas Chromatograph

Sometimes we forget about one of the most important costs associated with running a lab – energy costs.  Energy costs can add up when you’re having to climate control a lab, especially if you have fume hoods that have certain air movement requirements.  On top of that your instrumentation can be pulling a lot of…
