A while back my nanoLC column provider was acquired. There are always growing pains with those things, particularly when production is shifted to a new location or continent.
I switched to a nice small company with super friendly people -
and some techbro bought that one too! I've been part of a couple of failed startups. I know a techbro when I run into one. I was so enamored that I immediately got a column bomb and dug out 15 year old notes on how to pack columns. As you might be aware, I have a blind spot in my right eye from accidentally ramming a rusty screwdriver into it during a bathroom remodel in 2020 that still isn't done. Maybe packing columns isn't something I should be doing, but desperate times...
Wait - Premium columns at affordable prices? For real. Check this out.
I'm impatiently waiting on my first ever Ben owned mass spectrometer. A TIMSTOF Ultra2 with EvoSep. I ain't gonna blow it up with some dude's first column he ever packed. I contacted the owner and - dude's been making nanoLC columns for like 20+ years. He's US based (so...tarriffs shouldn't blow up my budget) and if you order a column they'll send you a second one for free. The columns are also lower priced than anyone else's to start with.
The two columns I use the most are on that bottom row. These are close matches for the EvoSep recommended part EV1137 and EV1109 which I used to get the equivalent of from the newly acquired company. Stay tuned for a head to head when my stuff arrives in a few weeks!
Again - Disclaimers over there --> PremierLCMS didn't give me anything for this, except they're sending me a free column (and Kerry is going to help me find an ideal matrix for a mixed mode application we're developing) and they'll send you one too if you move fast
