New and Improved Method for Extracting α-Cellulose for Isotopic Analysis
April 26th 2023New GC–MS research suggests that the presence of hemicellulose impurities in α-cellulose extracted from land plants may compromise reliable application of the 18O/16O ratio for environmental, physiological, and metabolic studies.

Poisoned Chalice: Study Reveals Impact of Transformed Landscapes on Carnivores and Environment
April 10th 2023By performing tissue analysis of caracals in captivity and in their natural African habitats, scientists were able to quantify uptake of toxic chemicals from the environment depending on how polluted they are.
A Focus on Forensic Taphonomy and Chromatography
January 19th 2023The Column interviewed Maiken Ueland, an ARC discovery early career research fellow at the Centre for Forensic Science and deputy director of The Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research (AFTER) at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia, on her work in forensic taphonomy, where she uses analytical, biochemical, and spectroscopic techniques to conduct human post-mortem investigations.
Does High Polarity Mean High Retention on Stationary Phases in Gas Chromatography (GC)?
January 1st 2023This instalment examines the idea of stationary phase polarity in detail. The assumptions inherent in the most popular stationary phase polarity-evaluating systems—McReynolds constants and the polarity scale—are discussed.
