This month's column addresses some elementary aspects of the mass spectrum, the tools used and some advances in the science

This article reviews advances in the analysis of persistent halogenated organic compounds over the last century.

The latest innovations in separation science will be revealed at Pittcon 2010 from 28 February–5 March 2010 in Florida, USA

CHROMacademy - a cutting-edge chromatography e-learning programme - is officially launched at Pittcon in 2010. The site will provide continuing professional development for chromatographers to them make more effective in the work place. CHROMmunity - a social networking site focusing on solving practical problems and troubleshooting - will play a pivotal role on the site.

Over the years, the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) has established its reputation as a forum for microcolumn separation techniques. Since the first meeting in Hindelang in 1975, the most important developments in capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography and electromigration techniques have been presented in this symposium series.

What can be expected when the column diameter is changed?
