Defining Method Goals

Can databases of column characteristics be used to help with HPLC column selection ahead of method development?

Many drugs that are sold on the street have been modified or diluted by the dealer and as a consequence forensic laboratories are overwhelmed with samples, which can take a long time to process.

4th International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) (London, UK) has announced that it has ended the practice of using mice for the detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and lipophilic toxins in commercially harvested shellfish.

A team of scientists in Spain has produced a new method that detects traces of veterinary drugs in baby food.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the world.

Malaria is one of the biggest killers in the developing world. In order to wage war on this disease the quality of the drugs that are available must be of the highest possible.

GPC/SEC results and their validity are crucial in many applications, for example, as part of a QC/QA test for a product release, the registration and accreditation of polymeric products or formulations with regulatory agencies such as the FDA, REACH and many more. Obviously, the accuracy and precision of GPC/SEC results is an important issue in such a context.

ChromaDex Corporation (CDXC) (Irvine, California, USA) has announced that it has collaborated with the Scripps Centre for Metabolomics (La Jolla, California, USA) to generate tandem mass spectrometry data for compounds from the ChromaDex natural products and phytochemical catalogue.

A look at the process of forming radical cations for analysis in GC–MS and the role of various ion source components

Shimadzu has introduced the new GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which offers a solution for today?s challenges along with the speed, accuracy and ease-of-operation scientists demand.

The use of in vivo SPME offers important advantages over conventional methods according to the authors, including simplified sample clean-up, fast stabilization of unstable analytes, elimination of enzymatic degradation after extraction and reduced ion suppression for mass spectrometry analyses.

Advantages of the planar, off-line format of TLC relative to on-line column HPLC, the steps in TLC analyses, and future prospects of TLC are discussed.
