Caliente Chromatography: Quantitative Analysis of Capsaicin
Chromatography: To Quantify or Not to Quantify, That Is the Question Our chromatography team is regularly asked to identify compounds in materials. Some projects only require the identification of compounds, while others require the accurate determination of concentration of the identified compounds. The latter, termed quantitative chromatography, requires the preparation of calibration standards suitable for […]

How Long Can a Polymer Last…And What Is Q10?
The longevity of polymers in real-world use is a critical importance across industries, from medical devices and packaging to consumer products and infrastructure. While many polymers are engineered to withstand sunlight, heat, moisture, and chemical exposure, nearly everyone has seen a once-flexible product turn brittle, discolored, or cracked over time. Both raw materials (such as […]
