GC market growth predicted by analysts
A report on the global gas chromatography systems market has predicted that it will be worth $1.2 billion by 2015.
A report on the global gas chromatography systems' market has predicted that it will be worth $1.2 billion by 2015. The report by Global Industry Analysts predicts that growing demand from petroleum, petrochemical, fine and speciality chemical, natural gas, industrial gas and fuel cell industries from emerging markets, and unwavering focus on addressing environmental and food safety issues in the developed world will drive this growth.
According to the report, Europe represents the largest market for gas chromatography systems, accounting for more than 30% of the global market, and trailed by the US and Japan.
Better resolution and faster analysis were found to be the two prominent trends in the global gas chromatography market. Instrument manufacturers are reported to be focusing on enhancing performance of GC systems by emphasizing on quicker heat-up and cool-down times, in addition to improving precision of electronic flow regulation and enhanced sensitivity specifications.
The analysts claim the study analyses market data and analytics in terms of value sales for global as well as regional markets including the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Latin America. The study also analysed unit volume sales of gas chromatography systems for the global as well as regional markets.

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.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
PFAS Analysis in Practice: A RAFA 2024 Interview with Stefan van Leuwen
January 10th 2025At the Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA) conference in 2024, LCGC International sat down with Stefan van Leuwen of Wageningen Food Safety Research to discuss his research, which addresses emerging challenges in circular food production, focusing on the risks posed by pollutants when waste and by-products are repurposed in food systems.
