Monoliths as Stationary Phases for Separating Biopolymers – Fourth-Generation Chromatography Sorbents
Monoliths are chromatography sorbents cast as a homogenous phase into chromatography columns as a single, continuous piece. In contrast, regular chromatographic solvents are packed as individual particles. In this month's "Column Watch," the guest columnists compare three of these novel sorbents with a conventional packed-particle column in terms of porosity, static, and dynamic capacity. Monoliths show flow rate–independent separation efficiency and dynamic capacity as well as higher porosity than conventional columns.

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).
