Master LC troubleshooting techniques to optimize your analysis and resolve issues with confidence.

How does liquid chromatography (LC) assist in forensic analysis?

The role of gas chromatography (GC) in forensic analysis is spotlighted.

We explore a core analytical question that every chromatographer faces: How many injections are really enough to achieve both scientific reliability and practical efficiency?

A look at recent advances in pesticide residue analysis across diverse food matrices.

ACD/Labs and Covestro have launched an AI-powered solvent selection tool within the Percepta platform, giving chemists a new data-driven option to reduce environmental impact.

The development of a high-throughput LC–MS/MS method for quantifying 135 pesticides with improved accuracy and robustness is discussed.

A recent study details the development of an LC–MS/MS method for detecting pesticide residues in a challenging matrix, chili powder.

Achieving lasting gender equity in chromatography demands systemic reform, from rethinking promotion criteria and tackling bias in publishing to creating flexible career pathways that retain talent. With the active support of allies and institutions, these changes can build a stronger, fairer, and more innovative scientific community.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to reshape the scientific landscape. Yet, as the International Women in Chromatography founders stress, these advances must be grounded in uncompromising data quality and rigorous quality control to ensure reliable, transformative science.

The founders of the International Women in Chromatography group share their diverse career paths, the challenges of balancing motherhood with scientific work, and the systemic barriers women face in advancing within the field.

The International Women in Chromatography group was founded to combat gender disparity in the field, creating a supportive global community that fosters belonging, advocacy, and recognition for women at all career stages. LCGC International spoke with the founders to find out more about the initiative.

In the sixth part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—reveal the best advice they have received in their career.

LGC Standards has released a range of 13C-labelled per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reference materials designed for use with EPA Method 1633.

In the fifth part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—about how industry and academia can offer better support for women in STEM.

In the fourth part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—about how popular chromatography is as a subject.

Knauer has been nominated for a German Sustainability Award 2026 in the Products category.

In the third part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—to ask what advice they would offer to young women aspiring to enter a STEM career.

In the second part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—about how the group has evolved over the last four years.

In the first part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Noor Abdulhussain, Lotte Schreuders, and Mimi den Uijl—co-founders of the Sisters in Science initiative—about their movement, which was started in 2021.

LCGC International spoke with Giorgia Purcaro, Ilaria Belluomo, and Katelyn Perrault Uptmor on advancing equity in chromatography, highlighting cultural shifts, practical strategies, and resources to support DEI success and leadership.

A recent roundtable with Giorgia Purcaro, Ilaria Belluomo, and Katelyn Perrault Uptmor explored challenges and opportunities for women in chromatography, sharing personal journeys, career barriers, and advice for future separation scientists.

Petr Vozka highlights how GC×GC–TOF-MS reveals time-dependent chemical changes in fingerprints, enabling age estimation through chemometric modeling and advancing forensic timelines beyond traditional ridge pattern analysis.

LCGC International spoke with Ira Lurie, a professional lecturer at George Washington University in the USA, about his research using innovative chromatographic strategies to improve the specificity and efficiency of forensic drug analysis. He details the application of “flip-flop” chromatography using silica hydride stationary phases to alternate between reversed-phase and aqueous normal-phase separations without changing solvents. Lurie also highlights the use of derivative gas chromatography–vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy (GC–VUV) to differentiate challenging synthetic cannabinoid isomers, emphasizing the critical legal and scientific importance of accurate isomer identification in forensic casework.

Ida Marie Marquart Løber explores postmortem interval estimation using UHPLC–QTOF-MS and machine learning, profiling rat tissue metabolites and outlining pathways for human adaptation toward objective, AI-driven forensic timelines.

LCGC International sat down with Grinias at Analytica USA to talk about capillary-scale LC and green analytical chemistry.
