New C72 Series Injectors
Many of the latest analytical techniques require systems capable of pressures up to 15,000 or 20,000 psi. The new C72 series injectors from Cheminert feature a proprietary stator coating that permits these pressures. The injectors use the same mounting system as the widely used Cheminert C2 series HPLC injectors.

UNC Chemist Advances "Lab-On-A-Chip" Technology With $3.8 Million NIH Grant
A chemist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will use a $3.8 million, four-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance his tiny "lab-on-a-chip" technology for cheaper, faster and more customized DNA sequencing.
The long-term goal is to reduce the cost of human genome sequencing from about $10 million to $1,000, and the time of sequencing to about 50 minutes. This would greatly expand sequencing's usefulness in medical research and health care, allowing health care professionals to tailor diagnosis, treatment and prevention to each person's unique genetic profile.
Dr. J. Michael Ramsey, the Minnie N. Goldby distinguished professor of chemistry in UNC's College of Arts and Sciences, was one of 11 scientists to recently receive awards totaling more than $13 million from the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute. Ramsey's was the largest grant. continue
Potassium Limitation, Ammonium Toxicity and Amino Acid Excretion in Yeast
As a single-celled eukaryote organism, the yeast strain S. cerevisiae has some limitations in terms of how it can be used as a model for more complex multicellular eukaryotes. However, in an article published in the open access journal PLoS Biology, David Hess, David Botstein, and colleagues demonstrate that a stress response to ammonium toxicity (linked with limited potassium) in yeast is dealt with by amino acid excretion and is likely to be a yeast equivalent of urea excreted by mammals in urine.continue
Sigma-Aldrich Acquires Advanced Separation Technologies Inc.
