| What's New? Third Generation EZ-2
 The third generation of EZ-2 has taken a long time to develop, and been guided by a great deal of feedback from users. All the familiar features that experience Genevac users know and love are still there, the system is still very easy to use - so how could the EZ-2 be made better? For a number of users, and particularly those who are preparing and concentrating samples for analysis, the ability to fully control the system was required. The latest generation of the EZ-2 has a new model - the EZ-Envi specifically designed for concentration of samples. On the EZ-Envi and the EZ-2 Plus, your local Genevac representative can help add new methods or optimise existing methods.
Also new to the EZ-2 Plus with HCl resistance is the ability to work with samples containing concentrated nitric acid. This can only be done on this thrid generation EZ-2, please do not attempt this on any other Genevac system! We have also given the EZ-2 a new colour scheme, and a funky blue light on the cold trap to brighten up the lab.
If you would like to be able to modify and optimise methods on your second generation EZ-2, you can - ask us about an upgrade of the control system. Sorry, but upgrades to have a blue light on your cold trap are not available!
Puck for the Rocket Evaporator
The Rocket™ Evaporator provides very fast evaporation for flasks ... until now! The launch of the Puck for the Rocket enables users to concentrate samples in ASE® tubes. Each Puck holds 3 ASE tubes, and a Rocket holds 6 pucks. Evaporation of ASE tubes is fast, safe and provides excellent recoveries of even the most volatile analytes. The Puck provides additional benefits in that the Rocket concentrates the tubes unattended, leaving laboratory staff free for more productive duties that nursing an evaporator!

 Better Analysis of Insulin AnaloguesThe detection of the abuse of synthetic insulins by doping laboratories is likely to become a routine requirement. The World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) code normally requires the use of mass spectrometry to identify prohibited drugs but peptide hormones are currently excluded because of the difficulty of obtaining mass spectra from such large molecules at very low physiological concentrations. Recent developments in applying mass spectrometry to proteomics means that it is becoming feasible for doping laboratories to routinely apply such methodology to detect and confirm the abuse of peptide hormones. Great care is required when preparing the samples for analysis, this paper evaluates two possible methods (nitrogen blow down & vacuum concentration) and highlights the pitfalls.
