New Sample Preparation Approaches to Biological Matrices for LC–MS
This month's "Sample Prep Perspectives" column summarizes current sample preparation procedures for LC–MS as applied to samples from biological matrices. Guest columnist Fred Klink describes ion suppression effects and other interferences common in LC–MS to provide a basis for understanding sample preparation requirements. He also examines established procedures as well as new concepts in sample preparation.

November 18th 2024An illuminating session focusing on progress in analytical techniques used in food analysis took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, The Czech Republic, including a talk on the analysis of 1000 toxins in 10 minutes.
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).
