Solid-phase extraction has progressed from using individual columns and cartridges to high-throughput 96-well plates. As a result of this transition, chemists must identify a new source of related products for sample preparation in this format, and these products often are made by unfamiliar manufacturers that sell outside the chromatography market. This "Sample Prep Perspectives" column provides information about the types of accessory products available to manually perform 96-well sample preparation and support the transition from single-column to high-throughput techniques.

RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A 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).
