Thermo Fisher Scientific Receives Awards for Software

Chinese researchers created a new approach for identifying and quantifying illegal additives in fruit and vegetable plums, types of often-consumed health-care foods.

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.

Here is some of the most popular content posted on LCGC International this week.

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.

Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.

Many multi-column gas chromatography systems use two-position multi-port switching valves, which can suffer from delays in valve switching. Shimadzu researchers aimed to create a new sampling and switching module for these systems.
