Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy: A New Tool for Gas Chromatography Analysis of Terpenes in Flavours and FragrancesTerpenes contribute heavily to the senses of smell and taste and thus are integral to industries like herb and spice producers, essential oil manufacturers, cannabis growers and distributors, breweries, and distilleries, among countless others. Current terpene analysis is performed using gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID) and GC–mass spectrometry (MS); however, baseline separation is needed for quantification because many terpenes of interest are isomers, which can lead to relatively long run times. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy can spectrally distinguish isomers and quantitatively deconvolve coeluting peaks, allowing for significant reduction in GC run time. This article outlines a method for the analysis of 21 terpenes in a variety of samples with a sub 9-min elution time.

Analysis of Organophosphates in Lithium Ion Battery Electrolytes by HILIC–ESI-MSNew separation techniques for the analysis of polar and ionic analytes have aroused great interest in the field of metabolomics and environmental investigation in the past two decades. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a promising tool to address this challenge. HILIC separation is based on the polarity of analytes, which generally show stronger retention with increasing polarity according to the HILIC separation mechanism. Furthermore, the high content of organic solvent in the mobile phase leads to good ionization properties in the electrospray ionization (ESI), and consequently enhances the detection sensitivity by hyphenated mass spectrometry (MS) detector.

Column Re-Equilibration Following Gradient Elution: How Long is Long Enough? Part 1: Reversed-Phase and HILIC Separations of Small MoleculesFor decades the prevailing perception was that satisfactory re-equilibration of reversed-phase columns following gradient elution took a long time. In the early 2000s we showed that this perception was not well founded, and demonstrated that adequate re‑equilibration could be achieved in seconds. Recently, we have shown the same for HILIC columns. All of this work so far has been with small molecules. In this article, we present an overview of this work, and summarize the practical utility of it all.

Stationary-Phase Optimized Selectivity in Liquid Chromatography (SOS-LC) for Pharmaceutical AnalysisChromatographic method development for pharmaceutical analysis can benefit from in silico steered serial coupling of column segments containing different stationary phases of varying length. Contrary to column coupling through trial and error, in stationary-phase optimized selectivity (SOS)-based chromatography the retention of all solutes is predicted for all possible column combinations allowing a rational selection of the optimal column combination. The possibilities of the strategy now surpass the initial usage in isocratic high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on dedicated commercial column segments, and allow applications in gradient-, green-, preparative-, and in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) on conventional column hardware. Current possibilities, pharmaceutical applications, a downloadable algorithm, and weaknesses of the approach are discussed to allow broader implementation of this methodology in separation science.
