Biodiesel promises a reduction in greenhouse gases but if it doesn't meet regulatory standards does it even matter?

Our application scientists set out to use the GC 8300 with EN 14103 to accurately analyse biodiesel for Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) and Linolenic Acid Methyl Esters to ensure it meets regulatory standards.

The purpose of this application note is to display the suitability of the system by demonstrating accurate and repeatable results, making the SCION Instruments 8300 an ideal choice for efficient biodiesel analysis

Last week, James Hogan, Product Manager - Chromatography, attended our partner conference in Asia.

It was a great opportunity to reflect on SCION’s successes so far in 2026 and to learn more about the varied applications of our gas chromatography solutions across the region.

Staying close to our customers’ successes and challenges is central to our mission of delivering the highest-quality gas chromatography solutions possible.

Ultimately, it’s about giving laboratories confidence in the solutions they choose.

Lithium Ion batteries power our everyday lives but unsafe production should never be a concern

A popular polar aprotic solvent called N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) which often leaves residue in the drying of electrodes can cause potential electroperformance and health and safety concerns as well as regulatory breaches.

Precise quantifable examination of residual NMP is therefore vital to ensure consumer safety aswell as reduce environmental waste.

Our expert application scientists set out to use our robust chromatography machines to examine their use case in this instance. Nitrogen was also used instead of Helium, as a more greener and sustainable replacement.

Accurately analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is critical to ensuring everyone has access to clean and safe water.

Our recent app note demonstrates how the SCION Versa headspace sampler coupled with GC‑MS meets the requirements of EPA Method 8260 for water analysis.

Helping to build a safer and more climate conscious future globally.

Using this method also allows for minimal sample preparation offering laboratories a dependable and cost effective solution for VOC determination.

Want results you can actually trust? Use analytical standards. Here’s why they’re a game-changer:

🔵 Accuracy: Nail your measurements every time.

🔵 Consistency: Same sample = same result.

🔵 Compliance: Be audit-ready without the stress.

Whether you’re confirming what’s in your sample (qualitative) or measuring how much (quantitative), standards keep your instruments calibrated and your data bulletproof.

Pro Tip: Even basic detectors benefit — not just GC-MS or LC-MS setups!
