Ione Citrin Featured in the Light Space & Time Artist Showcase


Jupiter, Florida - April 20, 2011 -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery has been very fortunate to have the Los Angeles based artist Ione Citrin participate in five different themed art exhibitions. Ione's work at the gallery shows a wide range of styles and her contemporary paintings range from abstract to realistic to impressionistic. She is now Light Space & Time’s featured Showcase Artist.

Ione is an Avant-garde artist whose artistic expression takes fantastic shape through her diverse oil and watercolor paintings, bronze sculptures, found object collages and mixed media assemblages.

Ione's art has been shown nationally since 1998 when, after years of world travel, a successful television, radio, theatre and film career in the performing arts, she decided to focus her richly diverse talents on the visual arts. Ione’s artistic expression, creativity, and passion for communication have resulted in numerous awards for her painting, sculpture, mixed media, and assemblage.

Her work has also been featured in several important publications and Ione maintains an extensive exhibition schedule in juried, non-juried, and invitational arts venues.

Ione's philosophy is outlined and communicated in her following thoughts; "I Dream, therefore I am. I create art because I must. It is a necessary extension of my life. It identifies and substantiates my existence. It is my profile and my legacy. I want to intrigue and entertain. I want to initiate wonder and questions. I want to communicate my thoughts, dreams and desires. Most of all, I want to be."

Biotage Introduces EVOLUTE WAX, Providing a Total Solution for Acidic Compounds


Uppsala, Sweden, April 20, 2011 -- Biotage, a leading supplier of tools and technology for medicinal and analytical chemistry, today announced the further expansion of its successful family of sample preparation products with the launch of EVOLUTE WAX.

EVOLUTE WAX is a mixed-mode weak anion exchanger, developed for the extraction of strongly acidic analytes from aqueous samples. The resin-based sorbent is surface modified with well defined hydroxyl-functional oligomers, imparting excellent water wettability. An optimized combination of non-polar (hydrophobic), polar (hydrophilic) and anion exchange interactions allows efficient extraction of strongly acidic analytes of wide ranging polarities.

Such strongly acidic analytes are typical of organophosphate pesticide metabolites and EVOLUTE WAX provides analytical scientists with the ability to extract such compounds more efficiently from diverse matrices, ranging from ground water to blood. The non-polar/anion exchange dual retention mechanism allows the use of a rigorous interference regime, providing extremely clean extracts and reducing matrix effects associated with LC-MS/MS analysis.

The addition of EVOLUTE WAX compliments and further increases the application scope of the EVOLUTE family of resin-based, solid-phase extraction products and further demonstrates our commitment to continuous development of high quality solutions for our customers” says Gary Dowthwaite, Product Manager for EVOLUTE product at Biotage.
