Ice cores contain an abundance of information about climate and the changes it is undergoing. Brett Paull and Estrella Sanz Rodriguez from the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS) at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia, spoke to Kate Mosford of The Column about their work on the analysis of Antarctic ice cores and the important role of capillary ion chromatography (cap-IC) in this area of research.
Liquid chromatography (LC) is a platform technology amenable to portable and “at-site” or deployable applications. This has awoken end-users to new possibilities and potential cost savings and process improvements.
A summary of the most recent advances in sample preparation, instrumentation, and data-processing techniques for MALDI-IMS
This article evaluates ASTM D7979-16 for the “direct” analysis of 30 PFCs and 19 mass-labeled surrogates. Instead of using solid-phase extraction, the PFCs were solubilized in a methanol–water mix and filtered if necessary, and the sample was injected into a LC–MS/MS system.
The powerful characteristics of gas chromatography (GC) with VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) detection for the analysis of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are described.
The authors discuss an LC method for the direct analysis of diquat and paraquat in lake water.
The investigation of airborne PFAS transmission is important in preserving the outdoor urban environment. The authors explain why GC–MS/MS and LC–MS/MS are the best techniques for analyzing airborne PFAS.
This automated SPE methodology is a solution that will reduce analyst labor, solvent usage, and turn-around-time while maintaining the high quality results required within today's laboratories.
Following sampling, tubes were transferred to a Markes UNITY™ thermal desorption system paired with an Agilent 7890B GC that was coupled to an Agilent 5977A MS detector. The UNITY™ system and GC–MS parameters are presented in Table I and Table II, respectively.

TSKgel UP-SW3000 columns are 2 µm SEC columns designed for the analysis of monoclonal antibodies and other biopharma products. Higher resolution can be achieved for the separation of antibody monomers, dimers, and higher order aggregates with a TSKgel UP-SW3000 column compared to a competitor UHPLC column. The TSKgel UP-SW3000 column provided excellent reproducibility for the peak parameters of retention time, asymmetry, and column efficiency. As demonstrated by the %RSD values, injection-to-injection reproducibility was superior to the competitor column.

A novel “dilute-and-shoot” LC–MS/MS method is described for the analysis of “bath salts” sold as “legal” highs, including mitragynine and nine synthetic cathinones, in urine.
Enhanced chromatographic resolution (GC×GC), increased resolving power with high-resolution TOF-MS, and software designed to leverage these attributes are combined to provide data that are easy to process and interpret.
This study describes the recovery of compounds above the boiling point of naphthalene achieved by optimizing the thermal desorption chemistry for the determination of volatile organic compounds ranging from C3 to C26 in soil gas samples using Method TO-17. Figures of merit such as breakthrough, precision, linearity, and detection capability are presented, in addition to an evaluation of its real-world capability at sites with moderate diesel and semivolatile polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (up to pyrene) contamination, in the presence of high humidity. This research has provided a means to determine a more representative composition of soil gas.

Studies of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and phosphorylated sugar in rat blood have become increasingly important in toxicology and insulin investigation. HPLC is typically the ideal method for this study. Shodex VT-50 2D would be the ultimate column due to its cAMP and AMP capabilities.
