The article presents an interview with Laura Bush, Editorial Director, to create an opportunity for people from companies to share views, such as short "Vendor Perspectives" features. Topics include what have learned from dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that feel has helpful to share with others; and what trends or developments has expected to see in 2021.

The article evaluates several laboratory products including Pre-packed catalyst tubes from Alpha Resources, multi N/C pharma series total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer from Analytik Jena USA Inc., and diamond attenuated total reflectance (ATR) sampler from Pike Technologies Inc.

The article offers suggestions for periodical cleaving of fused silica capillary tubing to its operational length. Topics discussed include cleaving tools such as cleaving stone for sharp and clean edge to get high quality of cleave; applying linear tension to remove defects in capillary glass tubing and applying standard cleaving procedure of placing capillary tubing and holding cleaving stone; and inspection of finished product to ensure quality.

The article evaluates the resistive glass tubes from Photonis USA Inc., a manufacturer of photon, electron and ion detection and amplification equipment

The article features resistive glass tubes from electro-optic detection leader Photonis.

The article discusses the causes and remedies for the breakage of the polyimide coated fused silica capillary tubes. The capillary tubings break because of internal surface damage by the debris such as metal particulates and precipitates from unfiltered solutions and due to stressed by being bent or handled. The breakage can be prevented by minimizing the debris and by cleaning of all valves, connectors and supply lines.

The article presents information on the resistive glass tubes and focuses on their properties and application. The resistive glass tubes and plates are used to carry ions under a uniform electric field. The photonis resistive glass products are made up of proprietary lead silicate glass which creates a resistive layer at the surface and the resistivity can be varied. It also informs that the multicapillary tubes have more ion transfer efficiency than single capillary inlet tubes.
