Hi Everyone, I'm operating our Cary 3500 and I am helping with an assay being put together based on competitive binding. Because of the competitive binding, the primary and reliable peak *decreases* in size rather than increasing as the concentration…
Im running on an old GCMS with headspace sampler. Its been failing during runs recently. The logbook shows that the oven is not ready at run time for each sample. After about 10 samples it just stops collecting data. The headspace continues to cook all…
We are trying to validate a new method, and our area counts are low and inconsistent. Our Hydrogen is from a generator and goes through an indicating filter. I replaced said filter recently, and am seeing it respond to moisture fairly quickly. How often…
jhagel is correct, do not change PE (Yellow) to PTFE (black) seals in round headed pumps (1290 Infinity and Infinity II as well as G7014C). Both seal types have benefits and downsides: While the black seals are generally better when using them with reverse…
