Investigating Mycobacteria FAME Profiles Using Alternative Ionization Energies in GC–MS
April 9th 2019Highly repeatable fragmentation of the compounds into the ion source is one of the major advantages of using gas chromatography coupled with electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC–EI-MS) for the analysis of volatile and semivolatile compounds. The generation of intense and diagnostic fragmentation when the ionization is performed at 70 eV has been used for the creation of many established databases-enabling the analyte identification process.
House of Lords Calls on UK Government to Secure Science Funding
April 9th 2019The House of Lords EU Home Affairs Sub‑Committee has highlighted the risk of losing access to key sources of Horizon 2020 funding in a “no-deal” scenario and called on the Government to confirm that the UK will seek full association to the next phase of the programme, “Horizon Europe”.

The LCGC Blog: From Petrochem to Cannabis and Beyond: ISCC and GCxGC 2019 is Poised to Please
April 2nd 2019As we close in on a little more than a month to go before the 43rd International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography and the 16th GCxGC Symposium (ISCC & GCxGC 2019; www.isccgcxgc.com), May 12 – 17 in Ft. Worth, Texas, my excitement burgeons. All of the groundwork has been laid to provide forums for presenting and discussing the latest advances in capillary and comprehensive separations science.
Improving Extraction Processes and Sample Preparation in Food Analysis
April 1st 2019The most common method of pesticide extraction for food matrices is QuEChERS. But, is there a better way? This LCGC ebook on Improving Extraction Processes and Sample Preparation in Food Analysis talks about the use of extraction technologies in food analysis and explores how Energized Dispersive Extraction (EDGE®) has revolutionized sample extraction.
