A look at what’s in store for chromatographers who attend HPLC 2024 in Denver, Colorado, USA from 20–25 July 2024.

A recent study examined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with inductively coupled plasma–tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to detect ethylene-thiourea (ETU) and propylene-thiourea (PTU) in fruits and vegetables.

At Pittcon 2024, LCGC International editor Patrick Lavery sat down with Martina Catani of the University of Ferrara to talk about the work her laboratory group is conducting.

The concept of gradient delay volume (GDV) in liquid chromatography (LC) poses challenges for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The GDV, which affects the arrival time of mobile phase composition changes at the column inlet, can have a significant impact on method throughput, influencing the time required for mobile phase changes at both the beginning and end of the LC method. Different pump designs and column characteristics affect efficient use of the available analysis time, as well as overall throughput. Notably, achieving repeatable equilibration, rather than full equilibration of LC columns following mobile phase gradients, is often sufficient for many LC applications, which can also be leveraged to increase method throughput.

This article describes a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the analysis of coumarin in various tobacco matrices and electronic cigarette (E-cig) liquids, and highlights the importance of evaluating different MS/MS transitions of an analyte in complex sample matrices to overcome matrix effects. Matrix interfering components were separated from analyte using a C18 ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) column with a larger inner diameter (3.0 mm, or 4.6 mm). Matrix suppressions on analyte responses were corrected by isotope dilution. Four different MS/MS transitions of coumarin were studied in each sample matrix to select a suitable MS/MS transition for analyte quantification based on matrix effects on each MS/MS transition. The method was validated using different tobacco matrices and E-cig liquids.

Scientists from Murcia, Spain recently created a new method for mycotoxin screening in human tissues using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry.

On February 25, a Pittcon oral session, titled “Detection of PFAS and other Polyfluorinated Analytes,” took place at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.
