Adhesives often contain toxic materials like residual monomers; here, we demonstrate quantitative analysis of residual monomers in adhesives using GC–MS.
This article explores how automation can enhance laboratory productivity and reduces errors in peptide mapping.
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.
A recent trend in the design of LC instrumentation is the move towards miniaturized and portable systems.
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 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.
A recent trend in the design of LC instrumentation is the move towards miniaturized and portable systems.
Flow-through immobilized-enzyme reactors (IMERs) can streamline protein digestion for bottom- and middle-up LC–MS characterization while providing high accuracy and reproducibility.
Sample preparation and analysis of pharmaceuticals in wastewater present unique challenges. Here, we describe those challenges.
An examination of how greening analytical methods is directly connected to greening the sample preparation step
Pressure-enhanced liquid chromatography (PE-LC) offers a new approach for improving selectivity for large molecule separations. Examples shown here include short oligonucleotides in ion-pairing reversed-phase (IP-RP) liquid chromatography and larger nucleic acids in ion-exchange (IEX) chromatography.
During the past five years, many manufacturers of HPLC columns have focused on improving stationary phase stability and reproducibility. In this study, the authors use a variety of test solutes to compare the efficiency, selectivity, and hydrophobic retention mechanisms of five commercially available HPLC columns based silica, alumina, zirconia, and polystyrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene as the support.

The values determined by van’t Hoff analysis only have practical significance if we analyze the results obtained with well-planned and systematically varied experiments.
When it comes to high-purity inorganic raw materials, the key to analytical success is knowing how to define purity. A variety of factors can impact this definition, including the specific application as well as the chemist’s needs.
A new technical study demonstrates the utility of a non-invasive liquid flowmeter for validating the performance of HPLC systems across a range of 9 different solvents.
An overview of different approaches for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of polysorbates.
Further miniaturization of separations will greatly extend the reach of single-cell proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics, but key challenges in instrumentation, column technology, and ionization sources must be addressed.
A new automated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) extraction approach with integrated analysis by online liquid chromatography (LC) to assess drug product potency is presented.
Decomposing animal tissue releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs), of interest in forensic science. We describe the use of GC×GC–qMS/FID retrofitted with a reverse fill/flush (RFF) flow modulator for analyzing these VOCs in a tropical climate.
In this extended special feature to celebrate the 35th anniversary edition of LCGC Europe, leading figures from the separation science community explore contemporary trends in separation science and identify possible future developments.
Evaporation enhances method sensitivity. This study investigates the impact of gas temperature and flow rate on blowdown evaporation of solvents and their mixtures
In our study, a fast and sensitive liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the determination of vitamin D2 in fresh mushrooms and its metabolite 25(OH)D2 in the blood of volunteers regularly consuming UV-treated mushrooms has been introduced.
This article describes the method development involved in the authentication of nutraceuticals, particularly those containing Panax ginseng, which is popular because of possible positive effects on human health.
