A brief introduction to this special supplement by Guest Editor Ron Majors

Howard G. Barth and Ronald E. Majors Liquid–solid extraction is the most popular method, but sometimes modern approaches such as PLE/ASE and MAE are possible.

By achieving selectivity in other portions of the analytical cycle, we can lower the burden on sample preparation.

This article discusses the details of how the newer techniques of sample preparation are simplified by the use of LC–MS-MS and GC–MS-MS technology.

A review of the trends at this year&s symposium, including discussions of column technology, sample preparation, and detector usage.

An alternative approach to liquid–liquid extraction is explored.

What you need to know about gas chromatography columns, thin-layer chromatography plates, sample preparation products, as well as chromatography and sample preparation accessories (including small benchtop instruments) unveiled at Pittcon this year

Learn how to use selectivity throughout the sample analysis cycle, from the sampling stage through data analysis and report generation.

A review of columns unveiled at Pittcon this year, including all modes of HPLC, UHPLC, and liquid-phase separations.
