Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of separation science consumables, announces the availability of a new publication, "The Essential Guide for Biofuel Analysis." Designed to meet the needs of the growing biofuels industry, the new guide provides technology information and troubleshooting tips for biofuel production monitoring and QC analysis. This 12-page booklet is available free of charge by clicking "Send email" and sending an e-mail request to Phenomenex.

"Phenomenex is unique in biofuel analysis because we offer both HPLC and GC solutions," explained Ngoc Nguyen, brand manager. "In addition to the broad product suite, we are known for customer service and support, which is very important to this new and growing field."

Phenomenex solutions for biofuels analysis feature Rezex™ ROA HPLC columns, for bioethanol fermentation analysis and monitoring, and the Zebron™ GC column line. The Zebron line includes ZB-1 columns for traditional ethanol measurement, ZB-Bioethanol columns for fast analysis of ethanol content and the ZB-5HT Inferno™ column for high temerature analysis of glycerin in biodiesel.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors.
