Patrick Lavery is an Editor for the MJH Life Sciences brands LCGC and Spectroscopy, and their respective websites, chromatographyonline.com and spectroscopyonline.com. He previously spent nearly a decade as a news anchor, reporter, and producer at New Jersey 101.5 FM.
This month we interview David Steiner, head of product development at LVA GmbH–Lebensmittelversuchsanstalt in Klosterneuburg, Austria about his work developing liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) multiclass methods for classification of feedstuff, including replication of model complex feedstuffs in the analytical laboratory.
A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
A study has proposed targeted methods, developed using gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, to measure human plasma protein binding and hepatocyte clearance in 73 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.
Microextraction using sustainable green solvents, followed by mass spectrometric analysis, comprise a combined approach that is still in its infancy.
Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
In this series from LCGC, we go on location to the Grinias Research Lab at Rowan University and speak to Professor James Grinias about his background, teaching philosophy, students, and lab equipment.

Knauer and his wife launched the namesake company in October 1962.
Blood and sputum are the most common means of detection by diagnostic tests, but producing adequate sputum can be difficult given a dry cough is often a TB symptom.
Because the biophysical and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood plasma are often greatly altered in monoclonal gammopathy, conventional mass spectrometry measurements can be limited.
