The study of sewage using chromatographic techniques is a rapidly expanding area that can provide insights into the consumption of illicit drugs. Measuring illicit drug concentrations can provide authorities with a close to real time identification of consumption trends and rates in specific geographical areas.

This article presents a method that combines combustion digestion and ion chromatography into a single analysis (combustion ion chromatography [CIC]) making it possible to detect halogens and sulphur in complex matrices. The method is suitable for use in a wide range of application areas.

Safe and effective gas cylinder setup and use requires the right pressure regulators, fittings, tubing, and filters as well as careful attention to procedure. This month's instalment reviews how to get the best results from laboratory gas cylinders, how pressure regulators work, and what filters should be installed in gas lines.

This year's symposium was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. In this review, Ron Majors covers HPLC and UHPLC column and sample preparation highlights, summarizes the awards presented, and reviews the overall liquid-phase chromatographic trends.

A fast, sensitive and accurate quantitative method was developed using HPLC–MS–MS for analysis of phthalate metabolites in urine samples.

Kevin Dorfman discusses his work to improve electrophoresis and nanochannel technologies to obtain genomic information.

Why should you be concerned about mobile-phase degassing - it's all done automatically, isn't it?

In this article, we discuss radical MS, an increasingly important area of MS development and the application to bioanalysis. At the current stage, most of the research is performed by a small set of academic groups; it is likely that these types of fundamental studies will attract more attention and even be commercialized in the near future.

Alberta's oil sands produce 1.9 million barrels of oil each day and contributes to 55% to all Canadian crude production.1 This industrial activity poses a potential threat to the regional environment, with concerns over potential water contamination from toxic chemicals. LCGC spoke to Jonathan W. Martin, an associate professor from the Division of Analytical & Environmental Toxicology at the University of Alberta (Alberta, Canada) about the analytical challenges he faces and solves in this research.
