Summer Reflections (Part 1)
Incognito provides a retrospective account on subjects visited throughout the course of the year and asks if any problems have been addressed and what new problems have arisen.
I had sufficient time during my summer break (between the odd Pina Colada!) to contemplate some of the issues raised and problems posed within this column over the past two years. How many of these problems have been addressed, what new problems have arisen and what is the general outlook within analytical chemistry? This issue then is somewhat of a retrospective on separations in the condensed phase, a subjective update and a vehicle to pose some new questions to exercise our creativity and challenge current thinking!
RAFA 2024: Giorgia Purcaro on Multidimensional GC for Mineral Oil Hydrocarbon Analysis
November 27th 2024Giorgia Purcaro from the University of Liège was interviewed at RAFA 2024 by LCGC International on the benefits of modern multidimensional GC methods to analyze mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH).
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).
