Trends

Benedetto Natalini spoke to LCGC about the driving forces in pharmaceutical analysis, including the importance of regulation, chirality, and miniaturization. Natalini also discussed his recent research in chiral chromatography, as well as developments in diagnostics using novel orthogonal liquid chromatography methods to quantify neurotransmitters involved in Parkinson?s disease

Michal Holcapek from the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic discusses the surprising advantages of LC–MALDI coupling and gives reasons why ion mobility mass spectrometry is gaining more attention.

Our interviews with separation science experts in specific application areas, such as environmental, food, forensics, and pharmaceutical analysis, have provided the LCGC audience with insights into what's going on in those fields. Here, we have excerpted several recent interviews that were published in our application-focused newsletters and our digital magazine, The Column.

There are some interesting shifts going on in sample preparation. In this interview, Doug Raynie discusses what is behind the trends – starting with the fundamental differences in strategies for solid and liquid samples.

In this month's installment, we look at the results of a recent survey on high performnace liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns, examining the trends in analytical and preparative column use and purchasing patterns since the last survey. Factors investigated in this study were mode and stationary phase usage, particle sizes and column dimensions, column budgets, and the factors influencing buying decisions. Column lifetime and use of guard columns also is considered. Future column buying plans were explored.
