A recent study published investigates the chemoselective behavior and the interplay between enantiorecognition of organophosphorus pesticides and their metabolites under multimodal elution using liquid chromatography (LC).

A technique to measure total phenolic content (TPC) in vegetable oils through analysis of images captured by a cellphone may prove to be easier to utilize than the traditional methods of ultraviolet/visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography (GC).

The effects of simulated digestion on the formation of α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs) in chocolates were assessed in a recent study with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

A recent paper introduced a compressed fluid-based separation process that combines carbon dioxide and ethanol to isolate portisins previously hemi-synthesized from blueberry surplus anthocyanins. The performance of the two-step separation process was compared favorably to centrifugal partitional chromatography (CPC) and conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) findings that were reported in terms of portisins content in the extract, process throughput, process efficiency, and total solvent used.

Researchers investigated the use of electric field in dried blood spot (DBS) sample preparation for the detection of steroids in newborns using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using both regular electroporation cuvettes and a custom vial setup.

A recent paper discusses advances in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) in the analysis of therapeutic oligonucleotides and their impurities.
