It’s hard to miss the pink lift on our construction site!
While it’s a vital tool helping us expand our facility by 50%, it carries a much deeper meaning. Our subcontractor found this lift and reconditioned it specifically to honor Anita Marchand, a beloved mother and grandmother who lost her life to breast cancer.
By putting her name on the side, they’ve turned a piece of heavy machinery into a moving tribute and a reminder to stay vigilant in the fight against cancer.
At YMC America, we’re excited about what this construction means for our future—specifically the ability to produce ASME DAC columns locally in the U.S. But today, we’re also grateful for the reminder that behind every great project are people with stories that matter.

Eliminating False Positives in PFOS Analysis: The Power of Methanol-Free Separation
Accurate determination of 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱 (𝗣𝗙𝗢𝗦) in food samples is challenging due to bile acid–related compounds (e.g., taurocholic acid isomers). These species can produce the same SRM transition (m/z 499→80) as PFOS, leading to potential false positives without adequate chromatographic separation.
