The Lascaux cave in France contains some of the best?known Paleolithic cave art, estimated to be over 17?000 years old.

A group of researchers in the USA has carried out an investigation using both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC?MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP?MS) to reveal that engineered nanoparticles can accumulate within plants and damage their DNA.

A team of scientists from Spain has isolated a strain of the bacteria Streptococcus parauberis from spoiled vacuum-packed refrigerated seafood.

Pittcon 2012 : New Chromatography Columns and Accessories, Part II

The 29the world gathering of the International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC) and the 18th International Symposium on Separation Science (ISSS) took place in Toru?, Poland in September 2012 and was supported by the cream of chromatography associations across Europe. Professor Boguslaw Buszewski, Chairman of ISC 2013 and President of EuSSS, CeGSS and Polish Chemical Society reveals the highlights of this year?s illuminating programme.

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

Event news summary

What you need to know about gas chromatography columns, thin-layer chromatography plates, sample preparation products, as well as chromatography and sample preparation accessories (including small benchtop instruments) unveiled at Pittcon this year

A review of nomenclature and conventions used in comprehensive multidimensional chromatography. An update of the popular paper on this topic from 2003.

What do you do when an unexpected peak appears?

A review highlighting the recent development on flow-injection analysis (FIA)–mass spectrometry (MS) to bring more attention to this effort.

The work described here involved the investigation of intact plant stanyl fatty acid esters in an enriched commercial margarine using an online coupled Agilent 1220 Infinity LC-7890A GC system. The lipid extract was directly analyzed without prior purification steps. The LC fraction of plant stanyl esters was transferred online into the GC system using the solvent vent mode of the multimode inlet for solvent evaporation.
