Electromembrane extraction (EME) uses electric fields and liquid membranes for selective, green microextraction compatible with chromatography.

Antonio Ferracane outlines a combined technique using cryogenic peak compression and pseudo-MRM to sharply boost sensitivity for trace PAHs.

Recent developments in column technology and instrumentation for use in capillary-scale liquid chromatography are discussed. Key motivating factors for the increase in capillary liquid chromatography (LC) usage include a desire for more sustainable analytical methods (including reductions in solvent usage and waste generation) and the need for compact, field-portable systems that can be used in point-of-need settings. To achieve these goals, miniaturization strategies for both column and instrument designs have been required. The impact of these innovations in a variety of application areas—including environmental analysis, forensic testing, and pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing—is described. As the need for greener analytical methods continues to grow, the implementation of low-flow capillary-scale separations will also increase.

Isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) linked higher sleep apnea risk to lower testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels.

HPLC pharmaceutical analysis sometimes requires wavelengths beyond a drug's maximum UV absorption for optimal detection.

Researchers recently developed fluorinated solid phase microextraction (SPME) materials that improve the selective extraction and chromatographic detection of volatile per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from complex samples. LCGC International spoke to the authors of the paper resulting from this work.
