Microwave-accelerated extraction (MAE) is described and evaluated. The latest enhancements to this technology are discussed from a hardware and applications perspective.
Toxicology Laboratory at the Veterans Administration, Portland, Oregon, USA, Agilent Technologies
The growing importance of biotherapeutics to the pharmaceutical industry has created an increasing demand for protein analysis techniques with high precision, high sensitivity and high throughput.
A new technique was developed based on liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry to analyze drugs that are not part of current immunoassay screening, specifically zolpidem, zopiclone, and zaleplone, or "z-drugs."
A sensitive method that reduces the number of false-positive results
Purification of peptide-peptoid hybrids can be obtained by reversed-phase chromatography with excellent recovery and resolution.
A study of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in river water samples is presented from northeastern United States using ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with TOF-MS for both targeted and nontargeted analytes
In both East and West, new ideas have often met resistance.
Today, I learned of the passing of a dear friend and a valued collaborator, Walton Caldwell, who founded the company Princeton Chromatography in 1994.

Veterinary drugs have become an integral part of livestock production and play an important role in animal welfare maintenance, mainly for preventing disease, curing infection, controlling the risk of disease transmission to humans and for increasing the productive capacity of animals.
Describes the preparation of a reversed-phase monolithic column with an optimized porous structure to separate intact proteins using LC–MS.
Whether the goal is food safety, ensuring quality or establishing provenance, measuring the trace element content of foods and beverages that we all consume is of paramount importance.
The two year international project "Preparation of active packaging with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity based on astaxanthin and chitosan",1 which started in 2009, was funded by FONCYCIT (Fund for International Cooperation of Science and Technology between the European Union and Mexico).
The main limitations of quantification using MALDI imaging are discussed and the different approaches used for quantitative measurement in MSI are evaluated.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) techniques offer advantages in separating and confirming the identity of constituents in novel psychoactive substances.
How ethylene-bridged hybrid inorganic–organic (BEH) particles are prepared and how their special qualities can be used to improve separations
A systematic way to develop HPLC methods consists of building up and running a useful set of experiments (DOE, design of experiments) to evaluate the influence of several factors or method conditions on the selectivity of a chromatogram. The crucial part here is the peak tracking between the chromatograms.
The main limitations of quantification using MALDI imaging are discussed and the different approaches used for quantitative measurement in MSI are evaluated.
We investigate a phenomenon observed by many practitioners of reversed- phase LC: a dramatic loss in retention volume or time after the column flow is stopped and resumed when using highly aqueous mobile phases with certain columns.
The level of pollutants present in water bodies is most commonly judged against set environmental quality standards (EQSs) that vary among different countries.
This article describes how a food testing laboratory can transition routine high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods to microflow LC for improved sensitivity, throughput, and robustness of analysis.
This article describes the GC–MS and LC–MS screening methods developed for the analysis of both low-volume water samples and extracts obtained from various designs of passive samplers.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) techniques offer advantages in separating and confirming the identity of constituents in novel psychoactive substances.
Human beings have long consumed mind altering drugs to attain a euphoric high. These illegal drugs are obtained directly from natural substances including plants or they are chemically synthesized. Monitoring consumption of abused drugs is important in workplace settings, crime scene investigations, forensic toxicology and other related areas.
Crop development to improve yield or disease resistance has been explored for centuries and the technologies to measure these improvements have subsequently become complex.
In electromembrane extraction (EME), the target analyte is extracted from an aqueous sample across a supported liquid membrane (SLM) and analyzed using LC. Through the study presented here, we demonstrate the principles of the technique and test its performance.
Protein/peptide discovery data obtained from data-dependent experiments have been used to increase the success rate of targeted quantification assays as well as automate method building.
This article provides an overview of the capabilities of field-flow fractionation coupled with inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry and demonstrates that the technique shows a great deal of promise to separate, detect and quantitate nanoparticles in environmental matrices.
