Lead by Neil Vasdev, a collaborative group from Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Northeastern University, and Advion, have combined the benefits of both microfluidics and flow hydrogenation to provide facile access to previously underutilized reduction and protecting group chemistries for PET imaging applications. The rapid removal of an O-benzyl protecting group to prepare 2-[18F]fluoroquinolin-8-ol and the reduction of a nitro group in the synthesis of 4-[18F]fluoroaniline were achieved within 3 minutes.

Advion expands its line of compact mass spectrometers just for chemists

Advion now presents the new expression S compact mass spectrometer (CMS) designed specifically for academic, industry and research chemistry groups.

“Advion has brought to the chemist’s bench the best-in-class mass spectrometer performance previously reserved only for mass spec specialists.”

Now you have a choice for the best fit for your specific application.

The expression S is available now for orders with a 12 week lead time.

ESI-Mass Spectrometer for as little as $1,300/month

Analyzes 80% of compounds that GC/MS can’t

LC/MS is the gold standard in separation science, but until now, was financially out of reach for many teaching instutions. The expression CMS is an electrospray mass spectrometer that couples to most LC systems and is easy to maintain and use for even the most novice user.
