The current challenges and future perspectives of the purification of cannabinoids from cannabis extracts are presented in this review article.
Crop development to improve yield or disease resistance has been explored for centuries and the technologies to measure these improvements have subsequently become complex.
A new procedure is proposed that provides identity parameters for headspace-applicable residual solvent Class 1 and Class 2 compounds addressed in the current US Pharmacopeia <467> method.
Accurate-mass approaches offer a significant advance over nominal-mass approaches in the arena of qualitative analysis, and some of the analytical approaches can now be conducted in a relatively routine manner.
In multivariate calibration and modelling a model is built between a large data matrix containing many variables for each sample and the property of the sample.
The use of interactive liquid chromatography using porous graphite as a stationary phase and gradients of long chain alcohols and chlorinated aromatics to separate olefin-based elastomers according to their chemical composition is discussed.
This short review focuses on the physicochemical properties of core–shell particles and their resulting chromatographic efficiencies as they relate to the comparison of their mass transfer kinetics to those of columns packed with sub-2-?m fully porous particles.
Detailed study results challenge common beliefs about the mechanisms behind the excellent performance of core–shell particles.
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.
Here, the process to build an accurate mass database is thoroughly described and applications are commented on.
A brief historical overview of DMS, followed by a synopsis of the instrumentation, physics, and chemistry behind the separation principles
Benefits of elevated-temperature seperations in LC are discusssed.
Mixed-mode high performance liquid chromatography (MM-HPLC) involves the combined use of two (or more) retention mechanisms in a single chromatographic system. Many original stationary phases have been proposed in recent years with promising possibilities, while applications have only started to appear in the literature. In this review, the authors discuss mixed-mode chromatography stationary phases. An overview of applications using mixed-mode chromatography is described, as well as the increased interest in mixed-mode systems for two-dimensional chromatography.
The ability to characterize protein therapeutics throughout the product development cycle is discussed.
A novel method for analysing mercury in sediment is described.
Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments, widely distributed in vegetables and fruits. A comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) method, based on the use of a cyano and an octodecylsilica column, placed in the first and second dimension, respectively, was applied to evaluate carotenoid composition and stability in selected overripe fruits representing the waste generated by a local food market. This research also evaluates if post-climacteric biochemical changes are linked to carotenoid degradation in the investigated fruits. A total of 22 compounds was separated into seven different chemical classes in the two-dimensional space, and identified by photodiode array (PDA) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The results prove that the waste generated by the large distribution of food still represent an important source of bioactives that could be used for other purposes.

DIP–MS is a fast and easy tool that can identify classes of compounds in opportunity crudes (heavy and ultraheavy crude oils, asphaltenes, and tar sands) in the field, without prior separation or treatment. It may enable fast screening of real samples to make a rough evaluation of the potential of reservoirs and oil fields.
