Experts examine how automation, software harmonization, and AI-assisted data analysis could lower barriers to FFF adoption and support routine use.

Panelists identify biopharma and environmental nanoplastics analysis as the most significant emerging drivers of FFF development.

From hand-built channels to commercial instruments, experts discuss the instrumentation, applications, and theory that have shaped FFF.

Practical GC in gas chromatography: learn how PEG column bleed affects MS sensitivity, and when polar analytes still quantify reliably.

AI promises to solve cost, labor, and regulatory challenges, but a shortage of deployment expertise means it can create more problems than it solves.

GC–MS deconvolution untangles coeluting pesticides in fast low‑pressure runs, rebuilding clean spectra for accurate library matches and more confident screening.

Discover LC–MS chromatography strategies that tackle PFAS at ppt levels in soil, serum and food, boosting sensitivity, selectivity and confidence.

Learn how TD–GC–MS tracks volatile PFAS in air and emissions, meeting OTM-50 and ASTM D8591 limits for safer compliance.

Gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) reveals first-trimester phthalate exposure impairs fetal growth, worsened by maternal stress.

James P. Grinias from Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey, United States, is the winner of the 2026 HTC Innovation Award, which was presented at the Hyphenated Techniques and Separations Technology (HTC-19) conference in Leuven, Belgium, on Friday May 29, 2026. The award is co-sponsored by the HTC conference and LCGC International.

An optimized ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method with tailored sample preparation enables accurate simultaneous detection of 30 PFAS compounds in seawater, sediment, and suspended particles, revealing their distribution and variability across marine environments.

The 35th International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC 2026) will take place from 6–10 September 2026 at the Prague Conference Centre (PCC) in Prague, Czech Republic.
