New Upchurch Scientific? Very High Pressure Fittings for UHPLC

February 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment


(PRWEB) January 30, 2012

New Upchurch Scientific Very High Pressure (VHP) fittings for UHPLC applications incorporate a patent-pending design that allows the fitting system to be used up-to ten assembly cycles with no impact on pressure holding ability or carryover.

The VHP one-piece fittings offer an increased ability to withstand the demanding requirements of today?s Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) instruments, where system pressures can reach (and sometimes exceed) 15,000 psi (1,034 bar). This robust line of products effectively handles system stresses due to the elevated pressures, and offers a selection of options for different applications.

The one-piece design–where the ferrule is permanently attached to the nut–simplifies installation (no ?dropped? ferrule), improves efficiency of changeovers and results in reduced system downtime. The proprietary PEEKTM polymer-blend ferrule assures biocompatibility and prevents damage to the tubing or the receiving port. An expanded line of new tightening tools for achieving optimal torque is also available.

Available in several configurations (not sure if this is the right word), VHP-320 is designed for use in constricted spaces; VHP-325 can be used with virtually any UHPLC receiving port that accepts 1/16″ diameter tubing; and VHP-920 is designed for use with 1/32″ OD tubing in valves and accessories that accept the M4 x 0.7 thread. All three fittings are designed to prevent dead volume, and require low torque to fully tighten, which helps eliminate galling and port damage. In addition, VHP one-piece fittings have excellent performance at elevated temperatures (up to 100

Three Surveys Rank LBA Group High as a Top Minority-Owned Business in the United States

February 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

GREENVILLE, NC (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

LBA Group Inc. has been singled out as a successful, privately owned business?not once, but three times. The North Carolina telecommunications company earned a spot in three separate rankings of American businesses in 2011.

?As one of the awardees from around the country, you have distinguished yourself as one of the leading entrepreneurs in the United States,? said Kenton Clarke in early January in announcing LBA Group?s listing among 2,500 successful businesses in the U.S. Clarke is CEO of DiversityBusiness, the nation?s largest organization of minority-owned companies doing business with Fortune 1000 firms, government agencies and universities.

Besides the national recognition, LBA Group earned a spot in two significant state rankings by the same organization: Number 51 among top 100 minority businesses in North Carolina and an identical ranking among top 100 privately held companies in the state.

The three awards continue LBA?s run as a recognized small business success story in an economy that tests the mettle of every company.

?LBA is particularly honored to be recognized for 2011,? says Lawrence Behr, company founder and CEO. ?It is gratifying because it comes at a time of international economic stress. We are succeeding because of the commitment and excellence of our diversified team.?

Behr entered the industry in 1963 after becoming fascinated as a teenager by AM broadcast engineering. First hiring out his skills, the young Behr soon formed his own company.

Today, LBA Group, Inc is comprised of two units: LBA Technology, Inc. which markets such products as AM antenna systems, antenna test equipment, EMF shielding, and RF safety monitors to wireless, commercial and military users; and consulting firm Lawrence Behr Associates, Inc., offering professional services including cell tower zoning and RF safety compliance, RF safety training, EMF shield design and testing, RF interference resolution and distributed antenna system (DAS) services.

LBA Group is very much a global company. A contract completed in January was for India?s radio broadcast system. LBA has been deeply involved in telecommunications projects on every continent?from Europe to the Middle East and Africa and across the entire length of South America.

LBA Group and other award-winners will be recognized at the organization?s 12th annual National Business Awards Conference, held this year on April 25 at a resort in Mashantucket, Conn.

High Stress Levels Create a Toxic Workplace

August 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Davie, FL (PRWEB) November 18, 2004

Stress has been called the “disease of the 21st century” by the United Nations, and according to the American Institute of Stress, it is estimated that stress-related illnesses cost our economy more than $ 100 billion a year.

Many are afflicted by the ravages of workplace stress and don’t even realize it. Heart disease, back problems, digestive ailments, insomnia, and a host of other health- related illnesses can all be traced back to high stress levels. Exhibiting desk rage and phone rage and going “postal” has now become commonplace.

“Stress in the workplace, along with stress at home, creates a deadly cocktail that has a dramatic impact on our health and our lives,” says Bob Losyk, stress expert and author of the new book, “Get A Grip!™ Overcoming Stress and Thriving in the Workplace,” published by Wiley & Sons. Bob is also the author of the award-winning book, “Managing A Changing Workforce.”

Losyk contends that living in a world that demands instantaneous response and reaction overburdens employees, as they are required to do more with less staff support. Coupled with stressors at home and lack of life balance, people are experiencing job burnout at a record pace. Losyk states that forty percent of all job turnover is due to stress.

“Get A Grip!” has eleven insightful, practical and informative chapters to help get a grip on stress and get a handle on living life to the fullest. The book integrates the mind, body, and spirit, creating a powerful prescription for living healthy. “Get A Grip!” focuses on subjects such as how to prevent burnout, meditation techniques to calm the mind, certain foods that reduce stress and five minute stress release techniques. Losyk provides “fifty proven ways to leave your stressors” that are easy to fit into busy everyday routines. The book provides many self-tests, exercises, and examples that give insight, tools, and tips for controlling stress.

“Get A Grip! Overcoming Stress and Thriving In The Workplace” is $ 19.95, 215 pages, and can be ordered from 1-877-4MY-GRIP, Amazon.com, BN.com, or at bookstores worldwide.
