An Assessment of Stationary Phase Selectivity in SFC

Sustainability concerns are renewing interest in SFC, often as a substitute for HPLC. With the broader application of SFC, we need a better understanding of selectivity in SFC, where stationary phase classification is not well established. This study assessed and measured the selectivity differences afforded by three prototype SFC phases.

Dispersive Miniaturized Solid‑Phase Extraction Using the CIM‑81 Metal‑Organic Framework and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry to Determine Personal Care Products in Waters

The analysis of contaminants found in environmental waters and originating from personal care products using metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) combined with liquid chromatography (LC) is described. This work expands the use of MOFs from gas chromatography to LC and also meets the requirements of green analytical chemistry.

Online Solid-Phase Extraction–Gas Chromatography–Flame Ionization Detection System for Monitoring Contaminants at Parts-Per-Trillion Concentrations in Process Waters

Online monitoring of odour and taste components that occur at parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels in industrial process waters requires specialized analytical hardware that is generally not compatible with the harsh environmental conditions in these typical industrial settings. An alternative instrumental method is proposed that uses dynamic extraction in combination with gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a simple flame ionization detector (FID) to achieve these extremely low detection limits.
