In part 2 of this series, we complete a list of questions and answers about gases for GC.

A preview of what Pittcon will offer chromatographers in Philadelphia this year.

This instalment focuses on approaches and techniques for extracting and concentrating small molecules of interest present in polymeric materials.

The 29th International Symposium on MicroScale Bioseparations (MSB 2013) will be held 10–14 March 2013, at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. The conference will build on the rich history of separation science and discuss a wide spectrum of current microscale bioseparation techniques.

An excerpt from LCGC's e-learning tutorial on solid-phase extraction at CHROMacademy.com

Many edible oils contain natural antioxidants that protect the oil from lipid oxidation, Knowledge on the identity of these oxidation inhibitors is crucial to find natural ways to protect healthy, unsaturated fats and oils from turning rancid. This article describes a new assay that allows rapid quantification of the lipid oxidation inhibting potenital of pure compounds or liquid chromatography (LC) fractions.

The use of a gradient scouting run can be a powerful tool to jump-start method developent. But what conditions should be chosen, and what do we do with the results?
