Rising Stars of Separation Science: Natalia Manousi
August 4th 2022This month we interview Natalia Manousi, from the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki, Greece, about her work in the development and application of novel sample preparation techniques.
Accelerating Sample Preparation for the Analysis of Complex Samples
August 1st 2022Given that sample preparation consumes over two thirds of analysis time, sample preparation becomes the bottleneck issue in analytical chemistry, resulting in the urgent necessity of developing accelerated sample preparation techniques.
Sample Preparation by Electric Field-Assisted Extraction
July 8th 2022Extraction-based sample preparation has been recognized as a significant step in separation science. To facilitate the extraction with better resolution, higher sensitivity, and lower detection limit, some new assistant approaches have been introduced, including electric field.
Moving Toward Green and Sustainable Sample Preparation
Microextraction techniques have evolved since their appearance three decades ago, moving toward the use of greener and sustainable materials and solvents.
