Choosing the right trade show depends on your goals and target market. If you’re looking to expand into Europe, Analytica or Lab Innovations might be your best bet. Want to break into the Middle Eastern or Asian markets? ArabLab and LabAsia are great options. And for those in the pharmaceutical industry, you can’t go wrong with CPhI Worldwide.

Ensuring the quality of your HPLC vials isn’t just about preventing leaks or contamination—it’s about safeguarding the integrity of your entire analysis. By paying attention to materials, inspecting vials thoroughly, and buying from reputable suppliers, you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches in the long run.

What do you think? Have you ever run into issues with low-quality vials? If you’ve got tips for ensuring vial quality, I’d love to hear them!

TLC remains a trusted tool in many labs around the world. It’s simple, affordable, and can give you fast results. Whether you’re testing the purity of a drug, checking for contaminants in food, or solving a crime, TLC has proven time and again that it’s here to stay. So, what do you think? Is it still relevant in today’s high-tech world, or should we retire it in favor of more advanced techniques?

So, is TLC the right choice for you? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. If you need a fast, cheap, and easy way to separate and identify compounds, TLC might just be your go-to method. But if you’re dealing with complex mixtures or need super-precise data, you might want to consider other techniques like HPLC or GC (Gas Chromatography). What do you think? Does TLC still have a place in modern labs, or is it time to move on?

When was the last time we sat down and had a good old chat about HPLC? It’s something I think about often—especially when I’m knee-deep in the lab. You know, HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) has been my go-to for years, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve had your fair

So, there you have it—a bunch of reasons why your GC results might not add up to 100%. From incomplete detection to calibration issues, there are plenty of opportunities for those numbers to get thrown off. But now that you know what to look for, you’ll be better equipped to troubleshoot when things don’t go as planned.

If you ever find yourself in a bind, don’t hesitate to double-check your calibration, manage your baseline noise, and consider whether your sample might be decomposing or losing compounds before detection. Each of these factors plays a critical role in your final results.
