November 18th 2024
A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
LC–MS Methods Evaluate PFAS and Lipidomic Changes of Lettuce and Peanuts in Contaminated Soil
June 6th 2023In a talk at ASMS 2023, Rebecca L. Beres of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill focused on two types of analysis methods: liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and a liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry (LC–IMS-MS) platform.
A Standardized 2D-LC Screening Platform for Peak Purity Determination in Pharmaceutical Analysis
June 1st 2023This study suggests a 2D-LC screening method to evaluate peak purity and ensure specificity in pharmaceutical analysis, thereby promoting the safe production of medicines by detecting active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and related substances.
New Procedures Enhance Quality Control for Large-Scale Plasma Proteomics Analyses
May 24th 2023A recent study has introduced comprehensive quality control procedures for large-scale plasma proteomics analyses. The research provides valuable insights into optimizing performance, enhancing reproducibility, and ensuring quantitative accuracy in proteomics investigations.
New Analytical Method Enables Multi-Class Analysis of Pesticides in Corn Products
May 23rd 2023A new study introduces a comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC–MS/MS) method for the analysis of 112 pesticides in corn-based products. The method exhibits high precision, lower limit of quantification values, and successful detection of trace levels of pesticides in real samples, offering promise for the analysis of complex matrices.
