PerkinElmer Acquires ES Industries
PerkinElmer, of Waltham, Massachusetts, has acquired ES Industries, of West Berlin, New Jersey. ES Industries manufactures columns, bonded phases, and packing materials for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) analysis.
Vice President and General Manager of Applied Markets at PerkinElmer Suneet Chadha said in a statement that augmenting PerkinElmer’s portfolio with HPLC columns technology, expertise, and manufacturing capabilities from ES Industries, the company can now innovate faster and provide complete end-to-end workflow solutions. “We are excited that these offerings will shorten the time from sample to result for our customers and help deliver enhanced lab performance,” he said.
Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
