The authors discuss the use of high-resolution LC-MS to analyze complex samples in regulated environments such as food and animal-feed analysis.

There is a misconception in the chromatographic community that polar analytes cannot be analysed using SFC because they are not soluble in carbon dioxide.

Designed by The National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA) the Crucible programme brought together 30 researchers from across the disciplines of science and social science for the first of four innovation camps with the aim of developing new ideas and explore the wider potential that interdisciplinary collaboration can bring to their work.

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) has been practiced for approximately 50 years. SFC on packed columns for both qualitative and quantitative purposes underwent a renaissance in interest at the beginning of the 1990s when limitations of capillary SFC became obvious and important progress in composition gradient techniques for mixed mobile phases was achieved. Even with these instrumental improvements, wide acceptane of the technology was not forthcoming because the perception was that highly polar analytes were not soluble in carbon dioxide and thus were not separable. It is now apparent that the use of additives dramatically extends the range of solute polarity amenable to SFC.

Since the shortage in the supply of acetonitrile (ACN) began in late 2008, HPLC users suffer under more and more purchasing problems and higher costs. With our Eluent Savings Handbook we give you a range of practical tips and suggestions to help you deal with the acetonitrile shortage. Act now: Our Eluent Savings Handbook offers specific solutions for saving solvent, which will not only reduce the amount of HPLC eluents you use, but also benefit the environment by reducing waste. Learn more about how to save eluent by slimming methods, by UHPLC, by substitution and more.
