Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In 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.
Evaluating the Accuracy of Mass Spectrometry Spectral Databases
May 12th 2025Mass spectrometry (MS) can be effective in identifying unknown compounds, though this can be complicated if spectra is outside of known databases. Researchers aimed to test MS databases using electron–ionization (EI)–MS.
Discovering the Hidden Plastic in Garden Compost with Pyr-GC–MS
May 12th 2025An Australian study used pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Pyr-GC–MS) to analyze the presence of plastic polymers in commercial and homemade composts. LCGC International spoke to Simran Kaur—a PhD candidate at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) at The University of Queensland in Woolloongabba, Australia—to find out more about her team’s findings.
