Sercolab Food and Feed Safety Seminar

On October 14^th we proudly hosted our first Food and Feed Safety Seminar
at the Nieuwgoed Seminar Centre in Ghent.

Simultaneously launching our new ACS-Food Analyzer,
that allows to accurately and quickly analyse food, feed and supplements without the extra workload:

Sugar profile
Organic Acids
Mycotoxins
Acrylamide
Vitamins
Amino Acids

We want to thank all our attendees and speakers for a wonderful and educational day
and hope to see them again soon!

New Preparative liquid handler introduced by Knauer

Liquid chromatography (LC) is a powerful separation method for purification. However, multi-batches or samples with many fractions often require user intervention, which can cost time, introduce impurities and reduce reproducibility.

The new Liquid Handler LH 2.1 upgrades preparative HPLC systems to an extremely flexible LC purification platform. It enables purification tasks in the research laboratory and the production of substances up to several grams.

Multi-step procedures can be automated without intervention of lab personnel and risk of contamination. This is made possible by precise "low-loss" sample injection and free usability of the work area for samples and collected fractions in variable vessel sizes. A capacity of up to 1440 samples on 96 microtiter well plates enables high throughput as a sampler and fractionator in one device.

Advantages:

Automate purification procedures to save time and increase reproducibility
Re-inject fractions separated by LC with high precision
Low-loss sample injections
High-throughput fractionation for research applications
Expand your vessel capacities

Tosoh special promotion on SkillPak 50 & 200

It is our pleasure to inform you that we have a 10% discount campaign for the new pre-packed columns SkillPak in 50ml as well as 200ml format.
This campaign is valid until November 30^th 2022.

Very short delivery time (4-5 weeks)
Comparable elution profiles and DBCs at all scales
Reduction in cost, time and materials
Ease of use

SkillPak pre-packed columns are designed for your purification and separation tasks from platform design to pilot scale. They are ready to use and show excellent physical strength and ideal flow characteristics for downstream processing. Pre-packed with TOYOPEARL, TSKgel, or Ca⁺⁺Pure-HA process chromatography media, these columns offer superior evaluation of biomolecules, such as monoclonal antibodies, proteins, and oligonucleotides.

All SkillPak columns guarantee optimal performance and can be operated with standard low- or medium-pressure liquid chromatography systems. They are reproducibly packed and take into account the varying compressibility of each resin. This provides an accurate representation of conditions found in full-scale columns.

Lab Automation Day 2022

SerCoLab was proud to be present at this year’s LAD organized by Laborama on October 13^th.

Our colleague Kirsten De Keyser gave an interesting talk on how to reduce your workload:
“Analysis at the Point-of-Need with online-HPLC.”

The advantages of an online automated process control are:

Better process management with unique detector capabilities
Precise and accurate results
See process variations in real time
Matrix independent
Efficient unattended operation leading to a quick ROI

Sounds intriguing? We are eager to answer all your questions.
