Inside the Laboratory: Grinias Research Lab at Rowan University, Part IV – Advice from Students
In this continuing series from LCGC, we go on location to the Grinias Research Lab at Rowan University, where graduate students gave advice for up and coming separation scientists following in their footsteps.
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. The first three installments in this series can be found here, here, and here.
In the video below, graduate students Leah Notarfrancesco, John Boughton, and Christopher Piccolo share tips and insight for the next generation of aspiring separation scientists.
This concludes LCGC's visit to Rowan, with more hopefully to follow in the future at other academic institutions.
SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
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.
