US scientists have developed a new method for an emerging synthetic opioid associated with increased health risks and deaths.

The hills will be alive with the sound of chromatography when the 30th International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC 2014) takes place from 14?18 September 2014 in Salzburg, Austria.

Incognito investigates if changing the carrier gas really requires a full method revalidation.

Chris Reddy from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) spoke to The Column about the role of chromatography in the ongoing environmental analysis of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The detection and quantitation of allergens in complex cosmetics extracts using two-dimensional gas chromatography?time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC?GC?TOF-MS) is described.

Chris Reddy from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) spoke to Alasdair Matheson of The Column about the role of chromatography in the ongoing environmental analysis of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, how GC×GC works in practice, and why this oil spill led to the return of thin layer chromatography (TLC) to his laboratory.

The hills will be alive with the sound of chromatography when the 30th International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC 2014) takes place from 14–18 September 2014 in Salzburg, Austria.

The detection and quantitation of allergens in complex cosmetics extracts using two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC–TOF-MS) is described. In particular, variable-energy electron ionization is shown to enhance both the sensitivity and selectivity of analyses by generating mass spectra containing structurally significant fragment ions with an improved molecular ion signal.
