Industry news

On Friday, August 9, leading metabolomics researchers will gather for the NIH Eastern Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Resource Core Symposium at RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This event is sponsored by LECO, AB SCIEX, Gerstel, Restek, and RTI International.

The seminar will include a full day of presentations and discussions covering real-world approaches to unlocking the metabolome, including:

• How NOT to Do Metabolic Profiling, presented by Dr. Ian Wilson of Imperial College, London
• High Resolution GC-MS for Metabolomics Applications, presented by Dr. Vladimir V. Tolstikov of Lilly Research Laboratories
• Overview of the RTI International RMC, presented by Dr. Susan Sumner of RTI International
• Systematic Computational Approach to Creating Libraries of High-Quality Mass Spectra for Unidentified Metabolites, presented by Dr. Xiuxia Du, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
• GC-TOFMS and Biomarker Discovery, presented by Dr. James Raymer of RTI International
• Analysis of Lipids using SelexION Technology, presented by Dr. Fadi Abdi, AB Sciex
• Metabolomics in Agricultural Research: Expanded Applications and Database Capabilities for Volatile Compound Capture and Tracking, presented by Dr. Kirsten Skogerson of Monsanto
• True Peak Capacity Increase GCxGC-TOFMS for Complex Metabolomics Samples, presented by Jack Cochran, Restek

Lunch will be provided to attendees. Pre-registration is required for this free event, and space is limited.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. GlycobiologyGlycobiology encompasses research into the biological functions, synthesis and structures of glycans, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and free oligosaccharides. Mass spectrometers and their software are commonly used in the study of glycobiology, along with structure predicting tools, chromatography and NMR.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :MetabolomicsMetabolomics is the study of small metabolites (the intermediates and products of metabolism). It involves the identification and quantification of cellular metabolites using analytical technologies such as GC, HPLC, NMR, and LC/MS.
