Abstract: Non-oxidiser particles containing sodium percarbonate and at least one additive, the amount of constituents other than sodium percarbonate in the particles being such that the particles are classified as non-oxidiser according to the standard test method O.1 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, sub-section 34.4.1 and that the particles have an available oxygen content of below 12% by weight, wherein the sodium percarbonate is coated and/or co-granulated with the additive(s). Blends comprising such particles. Process for the production of these particles and blends. Use of these particles or blends in detergent compositions and detergent compositions containing them.

Abstract: A chromatographic system includes a stationary phase, a mobile phase flow line, a detector, a mobile phase supply system, an injection device and a mobile phase switch. A controlling system in data communication with the detector and the mobile phase supply system automatically directs the flow of the mobile phase via the mobile phase switch to different containers depending on the data received by the detector and the mobile phase supply system.

Abstract: A pumping arrangement, for example for liquid chromatography, comprises a first liquid reservoir at a first height level, connected via a first hydraulic path to a pumping means; a second liquid reservoir at a second height level, connected via a second hydraulic path to the pumping means; and filtration devices arranged in the first and in the second hydraulic path. Each filtration device comprises an outer member (1) forming a first chamber (6), and an inner member (2) arranged within the outer member and forming a second chamber (5). The inner member (2) is porous and acts as a filter for liquid flowing from the first chamber to the second chamber. The arrangement ensures efficient filtering and prevents undesired backflow of liquid.
