Researchers have utilized ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UH PLC-MS/MS) to monitor 5-Fluorouracil, a medication used to treat various cancers, in dried blood spots. This process offers a simpler, more efficient method than those in place involving the monitoring of plasma.

HRIM-MS has shown unique capabilities when used to analyze cyclic peptide therapeutics, and enhances the analysis of biopharmaceuticals by efficiently filtering out interfering compounds for direct analysis within a complex mixture. These findings demonstrate the technique's utility and versatility.

The 27th International Symposium on Separation Sciences (ISSS 2023) will be held 24–27 September 2023 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Here’s a sneak preview of what attendees can look forwards to.

As part of the upcoming Recent Advances in Gas Chromatography meeting, Nicholas Morley will look at how two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry analyzes pharmaceutical packaging.

Researchers have developed a polybutylene terephthalate-based stationary phase for ion-pair-free reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

New research using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has revealed the distinct distributions of acetaminophen and its metabolite in the kidneys at an unprecedented resolution of 10 μm. The study, conducted by Mitsutoshi Setou and his team from Hamamatsu University School of Medicine in Japan, provides valuable insights into drug distribution and metabolism, enhancing our understanding of the pharmacokinetics and potential nephrotoxicity of acetaminophen.

Researchers have developed an ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)—tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of 10 aminoglycoside antibiotics in aquatic products.
