Top Performing Company

We are proud to announce that Biotech AB, as one of just over one per thousand Swedish companies, for the third year in a row, has received the award “Top Performing Company” or in Swedish “Superforetag”.

Behind Sweden’s Superforetag is Bisnode Sweden, a leading company specialized in tailoring credit-, business- and market-information.

The companies on the list are ranked on the basis of the Swedish limited companies’ financial capital structure and financing over the past four years. The list thus includes companies that have performed better growth than other companies but which have also shown a higher profit, better return, higher efficiency and a stronger capital structure. All companies have a turnover of at least $1 million during the past year.

It is not enough to have a good development for one or two years. The super companies have performed very well under each parameter for four years. Each company and industry is assessed according to its conditions, size and operations. -” A “super performance” in one industry does not have to mean that it is in another. In this way, it is possible to identify the best companies regardless of recession or boom”, says Per Weidenman, Senior Analyst at Bisnode Sweden.

PEEKsil™ tubing with MarvelXACT™ fittings – Finger tight to 19 000 psi

Our bioinert PEEKsil™ tubing with MarvelXACT™ PEEKsil™ connection systems utilize patented MarvelXACT™ fittings for use in the most demanding UHPLC applications. The robust PEEKsil™ tubing has smooth silica glass wetted surfaces and is chemically compatible to organic solvents. Each connection system is individually cut, polished, and manufactured to provide industry leading technology that produces superior chromatographic results.

The MarvelXACT™ fitting features torque-limiting technology that is finger tight and provides a haptic “click” feedback when it reaches the optimum torque, assuring a perfect zero dead volume connection every time. The fitting can be connected and disconnected 100+ times. It incorporates flexible 1/32″ OD tubing for easy routing throughout your instrument and the connection system is compatible with 10-32 coned receiving ports and is absolutely finger-tight — no tool required.

MarvelXACT™ PEEKsil™ connection systems are available in ID 25, 50, 75, 100 µm and 150, 350, 600 mm length.

Swedish Midsummer Celebrations

Swedish Midsummer

Sweden’s Midsummer (‘Midsommar’ in Swedish) is the quintessential summer celebration and something that people look forward to throughout the year, especially during the long, dark Scandinavian winters. Most Swedes try upon this day to get to a place in the countryside where they can eat pickled herring, boiled potatoes and sour cream as well as strawberries and brännvin. A maypole is often erected around which, at least if there are children present at the celebration, dancing is performed.

Due to our Midsummer celebration, our business in Sweden is closed Friday the 19th of June. After that date, we are open as usual the whole summer.

If you are curious on how we celebrate, watch the short video “Swedish Midsummer for Dummies”

  • Temperature: Ambient
  • Tube length: 30 cm (PEEK, from the column to the flow cell)
  • Instrument: X-LC (JASCO) Response time: 0.01 sec

The theoretical plates were compared after changing the inner diameter of the tubing between the column and the flow cell of the detector. A tubing with larger inner diameter has a larger dead volume, which makes the peak width to be wider. As a result, the theoretical plate decreases. We recommend using tubing with ID 0.12 mm or less for core shell columns for maximum efficiency. As can be seen there was little advantage to go to 0.06 mm ID tubing, but the back pressure increases, so ID 0.12 mm is the preferred choice.
