The Column interviewed Varoon Singh from the National Dope Testing Laboratory in India, about his work in sample preparation using chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS), and the development of novel materials for analytical applications.

This month we interview Martina Catani from the University of Ferrara, Italy, about her work on the separation of enantiomers by high performance liquid chromatography/ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC/UHPLC) and the study of the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of chiral stationary phases, and the separation and purification using LC analysis (single-column and continuous multi-column) of biomolecules of high therapeutic interest.

The Column interviewed Maiken Ueland, an ARC discovery early career research fellow at the Centre for Forensic Science and deputy director of The Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research (AFTER) at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia, on her work in forensic taphonomy, where she uses analytical, biochemical, and spectroscopic techniques to conduct human post-mortem investigations.

This month we interview Raviraj Chandrakant Shinde from India, about his work on the analysis of various food contaminants using chromatography and mass spectrometry, and the challenges involved in analyzing polar and ionic pesticides.

This month we interview Jessica Pandohee about her work in foodomics in prebiotics research for gut health, and the role of GC–O in aroma analysis for coffee-flavoured milk.

A snapshot of key trends and developments in sample preparation according to selected panellists from the chromatography sector.
