Count the Cost, Part 2: Increasing Resolution by Increasing Retention
April 1st 2017We will discover how to find the “sweet spot” in terms of retention for a liquid chromatographic separation as well as how much retention change can be expected for a selected change in organic mobile-phase percentage or column temperature.
Identifying Fraudulent Saffron Using UHPLC–HRMS/MS and Metabolomics
March 14th 2017Researchers from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague, Czech Republic, have developed a saffron authentication process based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–HRMS/MS) and multivariate data analysis.
Identifying Greek Drug Consumption Using LC–MS/MS
March 7th 2017Researchers from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens have used liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to understand changes in licit and illicit drug consumption patterns following the major socioeconomic changes Greece has experienced.
Ultrafast Gas Chromatography: Key Considerations in Method Development
March 7th 2017Ultrafast gas chromatography (UFGC) offers analysis times 5–20 times faster than conventional GC, with comparable sample capacity and resolution. These factors along with greatly reduced energy consumption make UFGC a valuable approach to explore in many application areas. This article describes the principles and practical uses of ultrafast GC and the key considerations in method development using this technique.
Award Symposium: The LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader Awards
March 1st 2017This afternoon, the winners of the LCGC Awards will be honored in an oral symposium at Pittcon. Pat Sandra of the Research Institute for Chromatography will receive the 2017 LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award at 1:30, and Deirdre Cabooter of the University of Leuven will receive the 2017 LCGC Emerging Leader Award at 3:40 pm, just after the break.
