Sustainable Solutions for Plastics: The Future Role of Lignins
Plastics – Friend and Foe If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen images of all the floating plastic in the Great Pacific garbage patch or perhaps you’ve seen the images of wildlife rescuers trying to remove a plastic straw from a sea turtle’s nose. These images can be quite disturbing and destructive to the reputation...
5 Peptide Bioanalysis Sample Preparation Challenges (and how to overcome them!)
Scientists that have worked with peptides understand that peptide quantification can be challenging. One of the keys to successful peptide analysis is thorough and selective sample preparation. Sample preparation improves various aspects of chromatography and mass spectrometry analyses by utilizing solid phase extraction (SPE) to chemically separate different analytes and aid in removing the interfering...
