Brinster, CEO and President of WHEATON. “Our Chromatography World portal invites visitors to ‘Separate from the Real World and Come Play in Ours,’ which captures the spirit of this lively new resource intended to both inform and entertain. The portal will be regularly updated and is designed to have an interactive component, so we invite all those who use chromatography to tour the site, sign up for some swag and contribute to what we hope will become a vital and valuable hub for the larger chromatography community.”
