Recent Advances in the Preparation and Application of Monolithic Capillary Columns
Researchers from the China Pharmaceutical University in Nanjing, China, have published a review of the recent advances in the preparation and application of monolithic capillary columns in separation science.
Researchers from the China Pharmaceutical University in Nanjing, China, have published a review of the recent advances in the preparation and application of monolithic capillary columns in separation science. The publication features a review of three novel preparation strategies for the preparation of capillary monoliths, including ionic liquid-based approaches, nanoparticle-based approaches, and a “click chemistry” approach. Furthermore, the article summarizes the recent strategies utilized in constructing different capillary monoliths for enantiomeric separation, and describes the advancement of capillary monoliths for complex sample analysis.

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.
