Studying the small has never been a bigger priority. The diversity of the metabolome requires a diversity of analytical tools to understand it, but no matrix is too complex when you’re properly equipped. Discover how GC-TOFMS and GCxGC can complete your instrument suite.

Monday, July 19, 2021, 02:00 PM EDT Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 02:00 PM EDT Join us for this free online event to learn about important developments in the analysis of contaminants in a wide range of food and environmental matrices using a range of chromatographic, detection, and sample preparation techniques. A few hours of your time will deliver enormous benefits for your work.

ChromTalks: The Benefit of Hindsight in Chromatography

***Thursday and Friday May 13-14 | May 20-21, 2021*** In the relaxed and unconventional talks in this symposium, highly experienced speakers from industry and academia will impart key learnings from their long experience with chromatography—from heroic failures that have taught them valuable lessons, to moments of inspirational serendipity, and everything in between. CHROMTalks will deliver lifetimes of learning in condensed form, covering topics across implementation, troubleshooting, and method development of analytical techniques. Time spent at CHROMTalks will pay back as soon as you enter your laboratory! ***Available On Demand Until May 21, 2022***

Chromatography Theory and Applications: A Virtual Symposium

***Live: Two Day Event! Day One: Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020 10am EDT | 12:30pm EDT | 2pm EDT & Day Two: Friday, Oct. 23, 2020 10am EDT | 2pm EDT *** In this two-day online event, speakers will discuss theory and applications of gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We have a morning and afternoon session each day, plus a lunchtime tutorial session on 2D-GC on Day 1. There will be live Q&A for the morning sessions and the tutorial. Attendance is free..*** On demand available after final airing until Oct. 23, 2021.***

-GC×GC offers dramatic improvements over traditional gas chromatography for the analysis of complex mixtures in numerous applications -The power and utility of GC×GC technology -The need for more advanced and novel stationary phases for gas-chromatographic columns

Polar lipids and other metabolites extracted from plasma from lean, diabetic, and obese Zucker rats were analyzed by flow injection using high resolution time of flight mass spectrometry. Metabolites were confidently identified and differences in the metabolite profiles determined.

Illegal drug use worldwide is at an all time high. Forensic laboratories are seeing increased sample loads creating an immediate need for fast and accurate analysis to positively identify confiscated materials in criminal investigations. This application highlights the value of gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS) for drug testing in forensic laboratories. A method was developed to successfully identify twenty drugs of abuse in 4.5 min. This GC-TOFMS method shows good chromatographic peak shape for even the most challenging drug analytes; even the peak shapes for amphetamine and methamphetamine were exceptional considering they were analyzed underivatized. The total ion chromatogram (TIC) for the twenty drug analytes is shown in Figure 1.
