Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a family of more than 4,700 chemical molecules, are known for their non-stick and waterproof properties. These versatile compounds find their application in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, textiles, and automobiles. PFAS exhibit remarkable resistance to degradation, which has led to their pervasive distribution in the environment and consequent human exposure. The effects of such exposure are far-reaching, including adverse effects on fertility, developmental abnormalities, cholesterol levels, immune function, and an increased risk of certain cancers. In addition to their toxicological effects, PFAS have become a global concern as regulators and researchers strive to understand the extent of their impact and develop effective methods for detection and mitigation. This collection of articles brings together research on the contamination and effects of PFAS in air, soil, and water, shedding light on the complex challenges posed by these persistent substances in our environment. Overall, this collection of articles seeks to advance researchers' knowledge of the dynamics, effects, and detection of PFAS.


A novel HIC column featuring innovative particle technology is benchmarked for separation of high DAR species ADCs, against a reference column with conventional chemistry.

Cells beyond their sell-by date exhibit a higher probability to propagate damaged cellular components like DNA, which leads to disease. It is therefore necessary for the body to remove these old malfunctioning cells, which can be done with garlic. All of the active components of garlic are easily isolated using the 5 µm PRP-C18 HPLC column.

Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the burning sensation in chili peppers, has been researched for its potential therapeutic benefits, including reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and exhibiting anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Hamilton's PRP-C18 reversed-phase HPLC column was used to isolate major capsaicinoids, with formic acid as the aqueous mobile phase, achieving good correlation with literature values at 10190 Scoville Heat Units. The Hamilton PRP-C18 column demonstrated excellent peak shape and can be easily regenerated, making it an indispensable tool for synthetic chemists.

In this study of an essential oil, we have developed an HPLC method for the separation of 6 well-known markers for the determination of purity of Ylang-Ylang oil.

Due to the short half-life of the 18F radionuclide, radiotracers are preferably produced locally or transported over short distances, leading to local production. On-site quality control is critical before clinical use. See how the RCX-10 enables reliable analysis for radiotracers.

This study analyzed BPA and its derivatives leaching from BPA-free polycarbonate water bottles using HPLC with UV detection and found that these bottles still contain bisphenol derivatives that can leach into water or ethanol. Leaching increased with temperature and was more pronounced with ethanol than hot water. Repeated washing with either hot water or 40% ethanol effectively removed leachable bisphenols without damaging the bottles.
