The pyrolysis–GC–MS method enables direct analysis of solid or liquid polymers without sample pretreatment, as illustrated here for various materials, including a dental filling material and a car wrapping foil.

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.

How large an injection can you make if the injection solvent is not matched to the mobile phase?

An explanation of why HPLC eluent systems are designed as they are.

Here, we examine the various way that chromatographers and chromatography data-handling systems locate and measure peaks.

LCGC, the leading resource for separation scientists, is proud to announce that Joseph Jack Kirkland and Caroline West are the winners of the eighth annual LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader in Chromatography Awards, respectively.

In water samples, OCPs are monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by various methods including methods EPA 508, EPA 608, and EPA 8081. The use of solid phase extraction (SPE) can rapidly increase both extraction efficiency and reduce lab solvent usage. By implementing the FMS TurboTrace® ABN system with its dual cartridge functionality, an in-line Florisil cartridge can be added to perform automated extract clean-up during the elution step.

This article is an overview of the different types of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) characterization that can be performed with the light scattering toolkit to support the development of biotherapeutics.

Robin MacGeachy, the Managing Director of Peak Scientific in Inchinnan, Scotland, has been awarded the Ernst and Young UK Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Manufacturing 2014.

A study published in the journal Analytical Chemistry presents the application of a foodomics approach – combining transciptomics with metabolomics – to determine the anticancer mechanism of action of polyphenols contained in Rosmarinus officinalis L., commonly known as rosemary.1

A new study to be published in the journal Food Chemistry proposes 10 compounds that could be used to determine the authenticity of handmade sea salt opposed to industrial sea salt.

How to spot problems in your method before they become an issue.

Incognito ponders if fashion is clouding our judgement when it comes to certain tried and tested techniques.

A simple dansylation metabolite assay (DMA) for sample normalization that is similar to the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay widely used in proteomics has been presented in the journal Analytical Chemistry. The DMA assay is performed following sample extraction to determine the total metabolite concentration, which can then be used to determine the volume of sample needed to ensure that all samples contain the same concentration of metabolites.
