Top articles published this week include an article recapping the 2025 Eastern Analytical Symposium Young Investigator Award recipient Katelynn Perrault Uptmor’s talk and an article highlighting recent research from Purdue University about nitrosamine formation in drugs.

This past week, LCGC International published a variety of articles on hot topics in separation science. We discuss how mass spectrometry (MS) unveiled new insights into how music modulates protein networks in lipid nanoparticle delivery and how gas chromatography (GC) can be sed to identify aroma types in unburnt cannabis. Also, we make a call for nominations for the 2026 HTC Innovation Award.

This week, LCGC International published a variety of articles on hot topics in separation science. From an interview about the evolution of ion chromatography to a discussion about using ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze 26 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), we’ve highlighted some of the most popular articles that were published this week.

This week, LCGC International published a variety of articles on hot topics in separation science. From an interview about the evolution of ion chromatography to an article about the top ten topics that new liquid chromatography (LC) users should know, we’ve highlighted some of the most popular articles that were published this week.

This week, LCGC International published a variety of articles on hot topics in separation science. From an interview about the latest advancements in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), a news article about a new product from Thermo Fisher, and an article about bioanalytical liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), we’ve highlighted some of the most popular articles that were published this week.

Noemi Procopio

As part of “From Sample to Verdict,” LCGC International sat down with Noemi Procopio, who is the Principal Investigator of the "Forens-OMICS" team and a Senior Research Fellow in Forensic Science at the University of Central Lancashire to talk about her team’s work. In Part III of our conversation with Procopio, she discussed how her team analyzes bone samples for post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation. In the final part of our conversation, Procopio discusses what a routine omics-based PMI assay could look like in the future.

As part of our “From Sample to Verdict” series, LCGC International sat down with Furton to discuss his team’s work in the Global Forensic and Justice Center. In Part II of our conversation with Furton, he discusses the applicability of SPME in other forensic applications, as well as the limitations of using SPME.

As part of “From Sample to Verdict,” LCGC International sat down with Noemi Procopio, who is the Principal Investigator of the "Forens-OMICS" team and a Senior Research Fellow in Forensic Science at the University of Central Lancashire, to talk about her team’s work. In Part I of our conversation with Procopio, she discussed the development of the Forens-OMICS approach and how her team estimates PMI using metabolomics, proteomics, and metabarcoding. Part II dives deep into post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation and how bone proteomics can be used to accurately estimate PMI.

As part of “From Sample to Verdict,” LCGC International sat down with Furton to talk about his team’s work in the Global Forensic and Justice Center. In Part I of our conversation with Furton, he discusses his work in environmental forensics, including applying solid-phase microextraction (SPME-GC–MS) in distinguishing crude oil sources.
