Visit LECO at Pittcon
Booth #2718
March 11-15, 2012
Orange County Convention Center
Orlando, Florida
Every year the Pittsburgh Conference presents some of the most innovative equipment used in today's laboratory research. We invite you to stop by and visit our booth for software demos of our new Pegasus GC-HRT and Citius LC-HRT, last year's Pittcon Editors' Gold Award winner. Our most popular time-of-flight instrument, the Pegasus 4D GCxGC-TOFMS, will also be on display.
Don't miss LECO-affiliated oral and poster presentations; click here for the complete schedule.
We look forward to seeing you at this year's show!

Evolution and Revolution in Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry and the Potential Impact Within and Outside the Pharmaceutical Industry
Presented by: Dr. Tony Bristow, Pharmaceutical Development, AstraZeneca UK
Date: Thursday, March 29, 2012
Time: 9:00 am EDT (North America) * 1500 Hours CET (Europe)
This presentation will review the developments in orthogonal acceleration and report the results from a study assessing the capability of HRT Instrumentation for the structural characterization of a number of small organic molecules and their associated impurities, used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and required for impurity tracking studies. The benefits of high-performance mass spectrometry including enhanced mass resolving power, data acquisition speed, and dynamic range will also be discussed.

60th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
It's not too early to start thinking about the ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics. This year, plan to attend LECO's breakfast seminars, to be held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (May 21, 22, and 23) during the conference. We'll focus on different applications each morning.
Would you like your own private tour of LECO's technology and applications? Our LECO representatives welcome the opportunity to talk with you one-on-one during ASMS. Appointments will be available all week long in our hospitality suite.
Look for details about these special ASMS events in future LECO e-newsletters.

GC/GCxGC-TOFMS Analysis of Aroma Profile of Hops Hops, Humulus lupulus, are one of the primary ingredients in beer and serve as both a natural preservative and as a flavoring agent. In this application note, a method is developed and tested using both one- and two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC and GCxGC) with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOFMS) to determine aroma and flavor changes as a function of boil time. GC-High Resolution TOFMS Analysis of Light Crude Oil
Crude oil is a very complex mixture of organic compounds including aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic compounds. This study demonstrates the utility of GC-High Resolution TOFMS for the comprehensive analysis of light crude oil samples. Click here for more information |
