    Episode 1: A Talk with Mark Jordi from Jordi Labs 63 analytical techniques to Choose From
    2024/01/10
    Show Notes A conversation with Mark about the wide range of analytical possibilities, and the 63 different analytical methods he can use to address issues with his clients. Jordi Labs was founded in 1980 for the distinct purpose of providing the highest quality analytical services, polymer based HPLC columns and packing media in the industry. When Dr. Howard Jordi initially started Jordi Labs, he was mainly providing Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) services to his clients. Over time, he added several complementary techniques as the needs of his clients grew, including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry […]

  • In the Lab with Emanuela Gionfriddo: A Deep Dive into Micro-extraction with TF-SPME

    In the Lab with Emanuela Gionfriddo: A Deep Dive into Micro-extraction with TF-SPME
    2023/09/11
    In this podcast, Emanuela Gionfriddo discusses her work in micro-separation techniques and the analysis of environmental micropollutants and biological samples. Gionfriddo’s lab utilizes Thin-Film Solid Phase Micro Extraction (TF-SPME) to analyze these samples and has proved to be an effective method for analyzing complex samples. In addition, they have also analyzed metals and were able to achieve improved selectivity using special solid phases in the films. Gionfriddo’s work aims to analyze a wide range of compounds in complex samples and further exploit the capabilities of the TF-SPME technique. She also mentions the development of a non-targeted method for liquid […]
