We also highlight some of our top on-demand webinars, ensuring that you don’t miss out on these free learning opportunities. If you wish to empower your research, you won't want to miss these mass spectrometry webinars.
Understand how LC/MS is supporting development at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, discover opportunities to eliminate reliance on helium in GC-MS, explore comprehensive and easy-to-use workflows for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation, and learn how thermal desorption (TD) and GC×GC–TOF MS can be utilized in comprehensive vehicle emissions testing.
Analysis of oligonucleotides by accurate mass LC/MS: Sequencing and impurity analysis to support development at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals
Oligonucleotides have grown to represent an increasingly important class of therapeutic modalities. During the development of new chemical entities, it is critical to both determine sequences, and identify process impurities and degradation pathways using LC/MS. These tasks are further complicated by severe data analysis challenges, requiring significant time for execution by expert level users. The main reason for these challenges is due to the lack of automation, with users often relying on manual processing with user-generated spreadsheets. Agilent BioConfirm 12.0 has been expanded to contain oligonucleotide analysis capabilities, and examples from work at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals will be presented in this webinar, showing expedited accurate mass LC/MS analyses.

New on-demand webinar – Using nitrogen as a GC-MS carrier gas: Opportunities to eliminate reliance on helium
During this webinar, an expert panel discussed the historical events that have resulted in the consolidation of the use of helium as the GC carrier gas of choice, and how those events may no longer apply to modern instrumentation. The panelists also discussed the benefits of migration to alternative carrier gases, including hydrogen and, more importantly, nitrogen, so that GC and GC-MS laboratories can eliminate their reliance on helium. Due to the cost of helium and increasing supply limitations, this topic is especially relevant, as some have estimated that helium may no longer be available for use in the chromatographic market within a relatively short space of time.
New on-demand webinar – Comprehensive and easy-to-use workflows for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation
In this webinar, the data quality produced by the high-resolution LC-MS analysis of a range of oligonucleotides sequences, as well as the setup and processing of the subsequent results were discussed. Tools and workflows designed to automatically identify and confirm both full length product as well as product impurities were examined, including data processing and visual display capabilities intended to simplify sample analysis streamline data review.
New on-demand webinar – Comprehensive vehicle emissions testing using thermal desorption (TD) and GC×GC–TOF MS
With the increased uptake of hybrid and electric vehicles, non-exhaust emissions are now of growing environmental concern. In this webinar, our guest speaker, Dr Nick Molden, (Emissions Analytics), demonstrated the use of thermal desorption (TD) for versatile sampling of emissions from exhausts, vehicle interiors and tyres. When coupled with GC×GC–TOF MS this provides improved chemical fingerprinting of emissions to enhance our understanding of how vehicles may impact the environment and human health.
