Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the landscape of online search and education.
I’ve read a bunch of articles about the versatility of the new bots, and the capabilities of the AI platforms are quite astounding. Indeed, some of them are much livelier and more conversational than Alexa, and this plays into the technology evolution.
While Alexa can understand basic commands and answer some questions, she can’t (yet) write a song or
poem about a topic. That’s the big difference between Alexa and the newer AI bots; the latter can converse back and forth and write content.
But one thing to keep in mind is the bots pull information from the web, so the information you get is limited by what we publish online.
So, what does AI really know about HPLC and chromatography anyway?
Well, I asked a crafty chat boss to write some songs, and poems and create conversations around HPLC technology. Here’s what it said.
Write a short rhyme so I can remember the difference between reverse phase and normal phase separations.
When separating compounds, it’s important to know. The difference between phases, to make the process flow.
Normal phase is like water and oil. Polar compounds stick, non-polar recoil.
Reverse phase is the opposite, you see. Non-polar compounds stick, polar flee.
So remember this little ditty. To keep your separations pretty.
Sing me a short song about the applications of HPLC
Verse 1: HPLC, it’s a powerful tool. For separating compounds, that’s the rule In pharmaceuticals, it’s used a lot. For quality control, it hits the spot.
Chorus: HPLC, HPLC, it’s the way to go. When you need to separate compounds, don’t you know From drugs to pesticides, and even more HPLC, HPLC, it’s what we adore.
Verse 2: In environmental testing, it’s key. For analyzing pollutants in the sea. In food and beverage, it’s a must. For detecting contaminants, we trust.
Chorus
Verse 3: HPLC, it’s a versatile tool. For scientists and researchers, it’s cool In the lab or in the field. For analytical chemistry, it’s the real deal.
Chorus
Simulate a chat like a millennial between a charged aerosol detector and a lipid
Charged Aerosol Detector: Hey there! How’s it going?
Lipid: Oh, not bad. Just hanging out here in the solution, you know?
Charged Aerosol Detector: Yeah, I feel you. I’m always floating around in the air, catching particles and stuff.
Lipid: So, what do you do exactly?
Charged Aerosol Detector: Well, I’m a detector. I detect particles that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. I’m particularly good at detecting small molecules and compounds like lipids, which I think is why we’re chatting!
Lipid: Ah, I see. I’ve heard of you before. You’re pretty popular in the lab.
Charged Aerosol Detector: Yeah, I have a pretty important job. I help scientists measure things like the purity of drug compounds, the quality of food and beverage products, and even the presence of illicit substances.
Lipid: Wow, that sounds like a big responsibility!
Charged Aerosol Detector: It is! But I love what I do. What about you, Lipid? What’s your story?
Lipid: Oh, not much to tell, really. I’m just a type of fat molecule found in cell membranes.
Charged Aerosol Detector: Interesting! You know, I’ve detected quite a few lipids in my time.
Lipid: Oh really? Do you know what kind?
Charged Aerosol Detector: Hmm, well, there are a lot of different types of lipids. Some examples are phospholipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Lipid: Ah, yes. I’m a phospholipid myself!
Charged Aerosol Detector: Oh, cool! Well, it’s been great chatting with you, Lipid. Maybe I’ll detect you again sometime!
Lipid: Haha, sounds good! Catch you later, Charged Aerosol Detector!
Write a rap about the benefits of a Thermo Scientific Vanquish HPLC System
Yo, listen up, I got something to say. About the Thermo Scientific Vanquish HPLC System, okay? If you’re in the lab, and you need to run some tests. This system will make you forget about the rest.
It’s got the power and precision to get the job done. The performance benefits are second to none. With a flow rate of up to 5 milliliters a minute, this system will give you results that are truly legit.
The Vanquish HPLC System can handle any task. From small molecules to peptides, it’s up to the ask. It’s got an advanced thermostat that keeps things in line, so you can be sure that your results will be just fine.
And when it comes to sensitivity, this system is top-notch. It can detect even the smallest molecules without a botch. With its high-resolution mass spectrometer, you’ll get data that’s precise and accurate, never inferior.
So if you want to take your lab game to the next level, get a Thermo Scientific Vanquish HPLC System, it’s the rebel. It’s got the performance benefits to make you a star, and leave your competitors wondering where you are.
Yes, AI does know some things about HPLC!
After almost an hour of asking the bot to teach me about separation science, I’m truly amazed and entertained!
And I’m pretty sure if I partner up with the chat boss to write some more songs and raps about chromatography, I could get a record deal and help the next generation of chromatographers keep up with the speed of science! Or at the very least help, some people pass their chemistry classes with catchy songs to remember fundamentals.
I hope you can see why keeping up to date with technology is important to staying ahead of the curve, not only in the digital space but also in science.
But there’s one thing to remember – AI will likely never be able to advance HPLC technology – that’s our job and the purpose behind The Lab-Forward Trade-In Program.
