Matrix Effects on Quantitation in Liquid Chromatography: Sources and Solutions
March 10th 2025The “matrix effect” is one of the sticky details that can make the use of liquid chromatography (LC) for quantitative purposes challenging, even though it is conceptually quite straightforward. In this installment of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll reviews what is being referred to during talks about “matrix effects”, and discusses some of the potential origins of the phenomenon in practice.
A Novel Two-Step Workflow for Extracting Clean Mass Spectra in LC×LC–HRMS Data
March 3rd 2025LCGC International spoke to Paul-Albert Schneide and Oskar Munk Kronik about the development and application of a novel two-step workflow—mass filtering (MF) combined with multivariate curve resolution (MCR)—for extracting clean mass spectra from trace-level compounds in LC×LC–HRMS data.
Predicting Retention Indices in LC–HRMS to Improve Water Quality Analysis
February 21st 2025Ardiana Kajtazi discusses her research identifying organic micropollutants in water using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS). She highlights the standardized filtration approach her team has developed based on intersection principles, utilizing retention indices from two reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) columns.
