Embark on a scientific odyssey into the captivating world of aroma analysis as we delve into the intricate bouquet of 'Cacciatori di Briciole' (Breadcrust Hunters) beer. Through meticulous analysis conducted by esteemed scientists, we explore the transformative power of sustainable brewing practices.

Perfect and easy analysis for solid and liquid products.

Protein is one of the most significant nutrient components in milk products. The accurate and precise determination of protein not only plays a role in the characterization of nutritional or dietary value of milk products but is also the key to determining the economic value of these materials. Protein in milk products is most commonly calculated using the measured total nitrogen content in the sample and a multiplier or conversion factor (typically 6.38). Nitrogen determination is performed using either the classical wet chemical method (Kjeldahl), or a combustion method (Dumas).

As the concern for global warming has increased over the years, ways to sequester carbon has been top-of-mind for many scientists and researchers. Capturing atmospheric carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, converting it, and storing it in soil would not only help the overall environment, but it could help farmers grow better crops as well.

And the award goes to…

Professor John Langley!

He is a beacon of excellence in the realm of separation science. We are thrilled to announce that Professor Langley has been honoured with the prestigious 2024 Silver Jubilee Medal by The Chromatographic Society!

Dr. Belen Morales, Head of Analytical Services talked with LECO about how the Sheffield Assay Office serves its customers, the technologies and types of analysis employed to meet the clients' requirements, the scope of treated sample range, and the role LECO is playing in this context.

Once more expensive than gold, aluminum has not lost its value over the years, only its price tag. Thanks to revolutionary methods of production largely developed in the late 1800s, the price of aluminum dropped from $34 an ounce in 1852 ($1,276 in 2022 dollars) to just $0.09 an ounce today. As a low-density, high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal, aluminum's usefulness has led to incredible consumption in many industries from transportation to packaging.

In this application note, you will learn how the combination of GC×GC and HRTOFMS resulted in excellent quantitative PCP data.

Household dust is a repository of hazardous compound accumulation and therefore an important indicator of chemical exposure.
