LCGC and Spectroscopy magazines are seeking contributed manuscripts for the March 2015 issue of Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry.
LCGC and Spectroscopy magazines are seeking contributed manuscripts for the March 2015 issue of Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry.
Manuscript scope and format
Founded in 2003, Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry examines developments in mass spectrometry and MS-hyphenated methods and their application to analytical problems in many fields, including but not limited to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical discovery, development, and manufacturing, biology and medicine, energy, the environment, forensics, defense, and food safety.
Manuscripts should be approximately 2500–3500 words long, plus up to eight figures and tables combined. Manuscripts should follow a standard experimental article format, including an abstract of 150–200 words. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, PPT, or XLS format. References should be called out using numbers in parentheses and listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.
Deadlines
Submission deadlines for the March 2015 issues are:
Abstracts: August 1, 2014
Completed manuscripts: October 8, 2014
Where to submit
Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at [email protected] (tel. +1.732.346.3020).
About Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry
Now in its 11th year, Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry is a quarterly publication focused on practical applications of mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques. It is distributed to readers of LCGC North America, LCGC Europe, and Spectroscopy, with a print circulation of more than 30,000 subscribers. CTMS is indexed in EBSCOhost.
About LCGC
For 32 years, LCGC has been the gold standard relied upon by chromatographers for unbiased, nuts-and-bolts technical information with a practical focus. LCGC’s columns and peer-reviewed articles continue to bring readers practical technical advice from respected experts in liquid and gas chromatography, including hyphenated techniques; capillary electrophoresis; supercritical fluid chromatography; and more. LCGC is indexed in the Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, and EBSCOhost.
About Spectroscopy
For 29 years, Spectroscopy has been providing peer-reviewed articles, trusted advice from columnists, and other information to facilitate the development and use of spectroscopy as a practical analytical technology across a variety of fields. Spectroscopy is indexed in the Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, and EBSCOhost.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Frontage Laboratories Streamlines their Product Lifecycle Management with NuGenesis™ LMS
January 9th 2025Frontage laboratories wanted to improve the efficiency and quality of their operations and invest in ways to streamline their workflows. They implemented Waters NuGenesis™ Lab Management System (LMS) to progress their digital transformation journey and combine synergistic data, workflow, and sample management capabilities to support the entire product lifecycle from discovery through manufacturing.
