It is well established that food-producing animals are exposed to toxic micropollutants via environment and feeds, and that micropollutants entering the animals are transferred to edible tissues, thus representing a chemical human health hazard.

LC method development for new drug candidates or screening methods for new active structures in botanicals present the same type of challenges: How do I know that I have separated all main components, as well as important, sometimes hidden, impurities? Is my resolution good enough? Am I missing small, co-eluting peaks?

Ask yourself a simple question. Do you know the structure or any of the physical properties of the analyte(s) from your most recent analysis? If the answer is yes, award yourself a self-congratulatory point. If no, why on earth not?

The growing importance of biotherapeutics to the pharmaceutical industry has created an increasing demand for protein analysis techniques with high precision, high sensitivity and high throughput. These techniques are used throughout the development process, starting with the discovery phase and continuing into lead optimization and characterization, preclinical and clinical trials (for both the biotherapeutic itself and related protein biomarkers) and manufacturing process development and control.

Traditional approaches for measuring food components are based on a ?target list? approach, whereby specific methodologies are developed for individual or related compounds. Such methods are well-suited for routine monitoring but can fail to detect emerging contamination events or to identify new prospects for product development.
