An Open Inquiry Model for Science Education
According to Kevin Schug, there is a shortcoming in our current educational system: too much rote learning, and not enough time given to let science-minded students explore a topic. He says that when students ask their own questions (not ones given to them by instructors), they become more invested in finding the answers.
Columns from Benson Polymeric
Benson Polymeric offers a wide variety of columns for the analysis of carbohydrates and organic acids. All of our columns are packed with Sulfonated Poly(Styrene-Divinylbenzene), specifically designed to maximize your separation needs. Utilizing simple eluents (water for carbohydrate analysis, and dilute acid for organic acids analysis), Benson Polymeric columns offer an inexpensive and environmentally friendly alternative to reverse phase columns.

Mary J. Wirth on Slip Flow, Part 1 — How It Works
In this video from LCGC TV, Mary J. Wirth of Purdue University explains the phenomenon of slip flow: what it is, how it can improve separations — particularly of proteins and monoclonal antibodies — and where it may take us in the future.
Micro-SPE Desalting With Reduced Losses
New! Micro-volume TARGA® C18 SPE chemistries to desalt peptide, glycopeptide or glycan samples. Desalting with the water wettable, TARGA® C18 UltraMicroSpin™ columns, by loading in 100% water, improves recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try our TARGA C18 as your desalting protocol, today! The Nest Group, Inc. - “Not Just Columns ... Answers!” Learn More
