In this continuing series from LCGC, we go on location to the Grinias Research Lab at Rowan University to see a liquid chromatographic analyzer in action.
Welcome to this installment of "Inside the Laboratory" in which the LCGC editorial team leaves their New Jersey office and ventures out in the field, with the goal of giving our audience a window into the next generation of analytical chemists.
Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, is home to the Grinias Research Lab headed by James Grinias, a professor in the department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. You can find the first two parts of our visit to the Grinias lab here:
Inside the Laboratory: Grinias Research Lab at Rowan University, Part I – Jim Grinias Interview
In the video below, Samuel Foster of the Grinias lab explains the mechanisms behind a liquid chromatography (LC) system and the software used to process LC analysis.
LCGC will be releasing further video interviews with Grinias’ students in the coming weeks.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
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).
