The recruitment of young, talented entrepreneurs within academia and industry is needed to tackle many of the challenges that exist today and that will emerge tomorrow.

Guest editor Jared L. Anderson introduces the LCGC supplement 'Advances in Sample Preparation'.

A U.S. government-sponsored report released last year puts a spotlight on critical concerns affecting the future of separation science.

The field of sample preparation is undergoing revolutionary change, largely governed by the need for miniaturization while maintaining high selectivity and high analyte enrichment. How up-to-date are you in the advances of sample preparation for chromatographic analysis?

In this extended special feature to celebrate the 30th anniversary edition of LCGC Europe, leading figures from the separation science community explore contemporary trends in separation science and identify possible future developments. We asked key opinion leaders in the field to discuss the current state of the art in sample preparation.

This short review covers the use of ionic liquids (ILs) and polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) in solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and dispersive microextraction (DLLME)

Ionic liquids have tunable selectivity for specific classes of analytes, giving them distinct advantages over organic solvents.
