make the difference
The i-volution in HPLC analysis continues
The popular i-Series of compact (U)HPLC systems has now
evolved to the Plus family of Prominence-i and Nexera-i systems.
The new line of products combines high-speed analysis with
simplified method transfer, automated sample pre-treatment,
minimized environmental impact and easy maintenance. It tar-
gets pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries.
Significantly improved analytical productivity
through automated pre-treatment functionality resulting in
increased efficiency and reduced risk of human error
Wide range of application fields
such as R&D activities, specification tests and quality control

Month
Bee-ware!
What makes “killer” or “Africanized” bees more aggressive than European bees? Researchers from Brazil used MALDI-MS and mass
spec imaging to analyze the brains of 20-day-old Africanized honeybees, discovering that specific neuropeptides were present in those
bees that exhibited aggressive behaviour. When young honeybees were injected with these substances, they too became aggressive.
Reference. M Pratavieira et al., “MALDI imaging analysis of neuropeptides in Africanized honeybee brain: Effect of aggressiveness”, J Proteome Res, 17, 2358–2369 (2018).
