Company Summary

The vision that started 32 years ago has even deeper roots deep in the very early days of gas chromatography. Quadrex Corporation was founded in 1976 by Prof. S.R. Lipsky, then the head of the Department of Physical Sciences at Yale University (New Haven, CT).

EARLY BACKGROUND - One of the early pioneers of high resolution gas chromatography, Dr. Lipsky was researching the field of lipids at Yale in the late 1950's when he decided to try a new and intriguing technique called gas chromatography (GC) which had been recently developed by Dr. Archer J.P. Martin and Dr. A.T. James. Dr. Lipsky's curiosity with this new technique led to the first successful analyses of fatty acids by gas chromatography (Figure 1) 1, demonstrating the capability of gas chromatography in the analyses of biochemical substances.

His attention was quickly drawn away from the research of lipids to further the developing field of gas chromatography, which continued throughout his 30-plus year career, yielding several patents and over 100 technical papers.

In 1960, together with Dr. Jim Lovelock, he invented one of the primary detectors used in environmental detection today, the electron capture detector (ECD) 2 . With his Yale colleague, Dr. Csaba Horvath, the technique of HPLC was developed. Dr. Lipsky pioneered the use of a GC in combination with a mass spectrometer, now commonly known as GC-MS.
