At HPLC 2022, we heard about new research and developments, in areas such as column technologies, portable instrumentation, and machine learning, among others.

This instalment of “Column Watch” presents many of the highlighted topics and trends observed at the symposium.

In this issue, we feature fundamental and innovative efforts from within the walls of some the leading companies in the separation science industry. The theme was inspired by the continuous output of essential separation tools and the seemingly endless streams of pertinent information that these companies provide the scientific community.

Our yearly report on liquid chromatography (LC) columns and accessories commercially released over the past year.

Our annual review of new liquid chromatography columns and accessories introduced recently.

New developments in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for LC seek to control MOF distribution on the silica surface, improve understanding of the role of the substrate, and enhance robustness and reproducibility.
