Solubility of Buffers in Aqueous-Organic Eluents for Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography

In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.

3D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.

Polyamides can be difficult to characterize, despite their use in various aspects of everyday life. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam researchers hoped to address this using a reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-based approach.

As the push for green chemistry continues to grow, University of Almeria researchers created a review for ways chromatographic techniques could be more environmentally friendly.

This new study presents a validated QuEChERS–LC-MS/MS method for detecting eight persistent, mobile, and toxic substances in escarole, tomatoes, and tomato leaves irrigated with contaminated water.
