New Year's Resolutions
Incognito inspires us to improve the way we work by sharing his New Year's resolutions that will make for better working practices.
I’ll start by apologizing for the appalling pun in the title — however this time of year is always good for planning, with the best of intentions, how we are going to improve the way in which we work.
Like many New Year’s resolutions, some of our work-based best intentions will be short lived, mainly due to the usual pressures of work. However, if just one or two points on our list manage to become reality, we can make a positive advance in our knowledge, skills or attitude.
So, after a good deal of thought and a brief trawl through some past Incognito columns, here is a list of my own resolutions for the coming year. I hope that they provide a little inspiration for your own lists.
LCGC’s Year in Review: Highlights in Liquid Chromatography
December 20th 2024This collection of technical articles, interviews, and news pieces delves into the latest innovations in LC methods, including advance in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and multidimensional LC.
Next Generation Peak Fitting for Separations
December 11th 2024Separation scientists frequently encounter critical pairs that are difficult to separate in a complex mixture. To save time and expensive solvents, an effective alternative to conventional screening protocols or mathematical peak width reduction is called iterative curve fitting.
Mobile Phase Buffers in Liquid Chromatography: A Review of Essential Ideas
December 11th 2024In this installment of "LC Troubleshooting," Dwight Stoll discusses several essential principles related to when and why buffers are important, as well as practical factors, such as commonly used buffering agents, that are recommended for use with different types of detectors.
