This application note describes the results from simultaneously analyzing 40 PFAS components using the LCMS-8050RX as target compounds after automatic sample preparation.
Good recovery rates and reproducibility results were achieved even when evaluating recoveries with 1/4 of the final MCL concentrations.

Minimal inhibitory concentration or MIC is a crucial analytical parameter often used in the control of microbial growth by antimicrobial agents. The MIC is typically defined as the lowest or minimum antimicrobial concentration that inhibits visible microbial growth in artificial media after a fixed incubation time and is often expressed in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) or milligrams per liter (mg/L).
It is not the only metric used to look at the effects of antimicrobials on microorganisms. The inhibitory concentration associated with 50% effect (IC50) 2 and the minimal bactericidal concentration, the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial drug that is bactericidal, are also used in different scenarios.
This article looks at some of the different applications including its use in the study of antimicrobial agents.
Researchers have different technology options available for absorbance measurements. This blog compares spectrometers and monochromators. What’s the difference?
The fundamental observation that almost all molecules in nature absorb and emit light at different wavelengths has driven developments in spectroscopy and fueled discoveries across scientific disciplines. Today researchers have access to technologies and instruments that use different forms of light to generate precise measurements of how much of a particular substance is present in a solution. These technologies are also useful in identifying molecules, analyzing the composition of samples, and studying molecular properties and processes. Light can be readily used to quantify the concentrations of substances such as nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules. It can also be deployed to measure the activities of enzymes or assess the levels of contamination in biological samples.
But what are the technologies b
This webinar discusses applications of SFC and Enhanced Fluidity LC that expand the technique beyond traditional chiral separations. Topics include:
With applications for the purifications suite, ADME/DMPK, and analytical R&D, see how Shimadzu is expanding the possibilities of SFC in Pharma and Biopharma.
Environmental instruments can easily get dirty during field use—algae, sediment, and debris can be tough to remove. It’s important to always clean your equipment after deployments or sampling trips to not only prevent cross-contamination between sites, but also to remove stuck-on dirt that could potentially interfere with calibrations or damage sensors.
For best practice, thoroughly clean your instrument and sensors before calibration, collecting measurements, and storage. For more information on how to store your instrument and sensors for short and long periods, check out our webinar, Storing for the Season, as well as our blog, Storing Water Quality Field Instruments for the Season, for a helpful written reference guide.
Read YSI's advice to you keep your sensors clean to improve both their longevity and performance.
Effective sample preparation is essential to enrich Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)-related microbes while minimizing interference from the matrix. Traditional filtration methods often create bottlenecks due to the sample’s complexity.
But now, the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette™ gives your team a faster, more efficient way to concentrate microbes for MIC testing—without replacing your existing downstream analytical tools.
Already used in labs across environmental, energy, and defense sectors, the CP system is ready to elevate your lab’s throughput and confidence in results.
The InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette (CP Select™) is an aut
