Success Story

Merck KGaA and Merck Millipore

 
Q: WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF YOUR LAB’S RESEARCH?

A: The focus of the team is to develop innovative products and applications for thin layer chromatography (TLC). Intensive research and development is done to couple TLC with mass spectrometry (TLC/CMS), a field of growing interest.

Q: WHAT PREVIOUS WORKFLOW CHALLENGES DID YOU EXPERIENCE?

A: Our major workflow issue is to shorten product development times and to deliver our customer valuable applications for new products. The CMS in combination with the elution based TLC/MS interface supports us reaching these goals.

Q: WHY DID YOU INCORPORATE THE EXPRESSION CMS INTO YOUR LABORATORY?

A: The expression CMS is a compact, robust and easy-to-use instrument. Together with the elution based TLC/MS interface, an affordable complete system is on the market, providing a great opportunity that can advance the TLC/CMS technology.
