Chemicals and materials

Resin Toolkit Set contains 14 resin-bound reagents and scavengers (3 g each), along with product details and protocols to perform reductive amination, coupling, amide bond formation, and oxidation reactions. These bound scavengers also speed the work process by removing excess substrate and by-product from reactions through simple filtration. Biotage, www.biotage.com

Reference Standards Certified standards for additives in plastics and other polymeric materials are available in the PolyAddCheck line. These include standards for plasticizers, antioxidants, flame retardants, and blowing agents. AccuStandard, www.accustandard.com

Separation Columns XBridge OST C18 columns are designed for advanced oligonucleotide HPLC separations, including purification and analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides. The columns feature bridged-ethyl hybrid-particle technology. Lifetime expectancy is greater than 1,000 injections. Waters Corp., www.waters.com

Cosmetic Pigments The Calisha Color Collection, a full line of cosmetic-grade pigments, features oil-dispersible pearls, inorganic oxides, and organic lake pigments. Oil-dispersible pearls compress easily in powders, disperse quickly in the oil phase, and minimize cross-contamination of color. Ciba Specialty Chemicals, www.cibasc.com

Emulsion Breaking PetroLuxus 500 is a specially blended aqueous chemical solution developed for the treatment of hydrocarbon emulsions. It disperses rapidly while eliminating the interfacial surface tension between oil and contaminants. Within several hours, the product effects separation of hydrocarbon emulsion components and a stratification of materials by specific gravity. Planet Resource Recovery, www.petroluxus.com
