In the third part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of women in chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Susanne Boye, Daniela Held, and Claudia Zielke about how to position yourself for leadership.

Researchers investigating how beer and the hepatopancreas influence the flavor of red swamp crayfish assessed the effects of cooking with or without the hepatopancreas in beer or water on crayfish quality using sensory analysis, electronic nose technology, and gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS).

In the second part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of women in chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Susanne Boye, Daniela Held, and Claudia Zielke about the best strategies to advance your career in chromatography.

Researchers aiming to determine the optimal harvest time for maximum essential oil and linalool yields from basil hydro distilled the dried leaves of gathered plant samples for extraction of essential oil and subjected the resulting produce to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to determine the variance in chemical compounds composition.

In the first part of this roundtable discussion focused on the experiences, challenges, and contributions of women in chromatography, LCGC International spoke to Susanne Boye, Daniela Held, and Claudia Zielke about their route into separation science.

This month's LCGC Blog from Jonathan Shackman from the American Chemical Society (ACS) reflects on how early experiences with computer programming shaped the author’s understanding of fundamental logic, and how today’s artificial intelligence (AI) tools similarly shift the balance between mastering low-level processes and focusing on analytical goals.

Silica stationary phases are traditionally prepared through silanization, where silanol groups on the silica surface react with organosilanes to create chemically bonded layers, typically with hydrocarbon chains such as C18 or C8 for reversed-phase separations. A research team from the Department of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo introduced an alternative surface modification method that avoids silanization, using diazonium chemistry instead. LCGC International spoke to Luis A. Colón, corresponding author of the paper that resulted from the team's research, about the method.
