Simplifying RNA QC: Can Carbon-Based Digital Liquid Chromatography Help?
RNA therapeutics require characterization of up to 20 critical quality attributes, which currently demands multiple dedicated LC methods — reversed-phase, anion-exchange, and size-exclusion — on separate instruments. Carbon-based digital liquid chromatography offers a different direction. By applying voltage to an all-carbon conductive stationary phase, retention can be tuned in real time. We explore how this approach may consolidate RNA QC workflows into a single compact pla

How are Carbon Microbeads Facilitating Electrochemically Modulated Liquid Chromatography of Charged Molecules?
Charged molecules are everywhere — from DNA therapeutics to environmental toxins. Yet separating and analyzing them cleanly remains one of analytical chemistry's toughest challenges. Traditional methods like IP-RPLC and IEX force a frustrating trade-off: great separation or great MS detection, never both. Electrochemically Modulated Liquid Chromatography (EMLC) using carbon microbeads, replaces messy chemicals with precise electrical control for cleaner, faster, and more sust
