Today’s networking sessions cover a range of techniques and topics. The morning networking sessions, from 10:30 am to noon, cover valve GC systems (room W185D), laboratory health and safety (room W187B), microscopy for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education (room W187A), questions about the analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) (W186A), and accreditation for cannabis testing laboratories (room W186C).
The afternoon networking sessions, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm, address rapid methodologies for detecting unhealthy food (room W186C), greener solvents and reagents for product testing (room 186A), high-throughput screening with mass spectrometry (room W187A), and sulfur determination using sulfur chemiluminescence detectors (room W187B).
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
