MAC-MOD’s Vice President, Edward Faden, recently gave a talk at Pittcon Conference + Exposition organized by SilcoTek Corporation. In the talk, he discussed a unique approach involving bio-inert HPLC/UHPLC column hardware, novel bonding chemistries and a brand new particle design with LC/MS to analyze oligonucleotides without the need for ion-pairing reagents. Thank you to everyone who showed interest and asked thoughtful questions. It was great to see so many people engaged and enthusiastic about these developments! If you would like the slides from the talk, please feel free to reach out directly to Edward Faden. #Pittcon2025 #Pittcon #ChromatographyInnovation #OligonucleotideAnalysis

Edward Faden, our Vice President, recently hosted a Lunch & Learn at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. This event provided a great opportunity to connect with industry professionals and share insights. We appreciate the collaboration and look forward to future opportunities! #VertexPharmaceuticals #LunchAndLearn #InnovationsinChromatography

We are thrilled to share a special moment from the CACA 2025 dinner meeting, held as part of the Pittcon Conference + Exposition. Our CEO, Geoffrey Faden, had the pleasure of joining Perry Wang and the talented Ph.D. student, Tingting Zhao, from the University of British Columbia. ? Tingting was honored with the Student Excellence Award, which was proudly sponsored by Mac-Mod Analytical. We are committed to supporting the next generation of chromatography leaders and are delighted to recognize Tingting's outstanding achievements. ? Congratulations to Tingting Zhao on this well-deserved recognition! ? #MacModAnalytical #CACA2025 #Pittcon #StudentExcellenceAward #Chromatography

CACA Webinar Highlight: Avoid Adsorption of Costly Biologic Analytes with Ultra-Inert-Coated Columns” In our recent webinar on new LC particle technology, Geoffrey Faden discusses how Evosphere MAX columns are designed to improve resolution and sensitivity of "sticky" compounds like oligonucleotides, thanks to their Ultra- inert-coated column hardware. Key points: -Internal coating of stainless-steel surfaces prevents metal interactions. -Silica stationary phase and analytes are shielded from metals -Ideal for applications involving small/single stranded oligonucleotides and chelators By preventing metal interactions that can distort chromatographic resutls, Evosphere MAX columns deliver superior peak shape and sensitivity. This is especially crucial for sensitive analytes and complex separations.

Column Protection Matters! Inlet frit plugging can compromise up to 70% of HPLC column performance. MAC-MOD Analytical has engineered specialized pre-column filters designed to: ? Prevent particulate buildup ? Reduce back pressure issues ? Extend column lifespan ? Optimize peak shape consistency We offer two different pre-column filters, one for HPLC and one for UHPLC. Curious about protecting your analytical workflow? Check out the full details in our attached catalog.

Starting a new HPLC or UHPLC column? Follow these key steps for optimal results: 1. Flush with 100% organic modifier (5-10 column volumes) 2. Monitor baseline stability 3. Run test injections to ensure equilibration 4. For gradient separations, equilibrate with 2 gradient delay volumes + 5-10 column volumes Pro tip: When using buffered mobile phases, test for solubility at your gradient's upper limit to avoid precipitation! By following these practices, you'll ensure: ? Removal of manufacturing residues ? Stable baselines ? Reproducible retention times ? Optimal peak shapes Want the full technical details?
