Have you wondered how your GC system sets and controls gas pressures, flows, and carrier gas velocities electronically? Here, we describe the requirements for and the operation of electronic gas control systems for GC columns and detectors.

A simple and rapid method for the simultaneous separation and determination of the inorganic ionic forms of As(III), As(V), Sb(III), Sb(V), Tl(I), and Tl(III) in river water samples is described.

Both the volume of the sample injection and the solvent in which the sample is dissolved can affect the appearance of the chromatogram.

Professor Wolfgang Lindner spoke to Kevin A. Schug about his inspiring and influential career in chromatography.

The quantification of proteins in a complex biological sample is an important and challenging task. Mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly used for this purpose, not only to give a global survey of the components and their amounts, but also to precisely and accurately quantify specific target proteins.

In this article, two sample handling and sample preparation methods for saliva samples are presented and discussed. Both methods were applied for determining the presence of lidocaine in saliva.
