LCGC International spoke with Daniel Meston and Dwight Stoll from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, USA, about a project they worked on with Todd Maloney from Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, to investigate the optimal performance conditions of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) when using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC).
Building Small But Thinking Big
November 7th 2022The Column spoke to Brett Paull from the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia, about the development of truly portable LC systems for use in the pharmaceutical industry and in environmental analysis. Why are they necessary, and where can improvements still be made?

Analysis of Boronic Compounds as Potential Mutagenic Impurities in Drug Substances By GC–MS
December 1st 2021This novel gas chromatography (GC)–MS approach enables analysis of the suspected mutagens bis(pinacolato)diboron (BPD) and tetrahydroxydiboron (BBA) found at low-levels in certain intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), even in the presence of boron from other sources.
Low-Level Determination of Mutagenic Nitrosamine Impurities in Drug Substances by LC–MS/MS
July 12th 2021This article discusses the development of a series of applications that will allow for the determination of a number of nitrosamines that have been identified by the FDA as genotoxins to monitor, initially showing how to perform a separation of these compounds from the API and then looking at how MS can be applied to the analysis to ensure that the required detection limits can be reached.
Implementing Pharmacopeial Methods —Method in the Madness?
December 8th 2020Incognito leads us through the complex method used to determine related substances for hydroxychloroquine, exploring the practical implementation and critical evaluation of a less than optimum ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) pharmacopeial method.
