Marine polychaetes are a common type of annelid worm widely spread in marine environments. Raquel Fernandez, University of Copenhagan, spoke to LCGC about her innovative approach to developing an untargeted method to monitor polychaetes and assess their potential use in environmental monitoring of oil spills.

Once you have mastered the terminology and symbology the actual mathematics for the models and approaches used at the level which is useful to practicing analytical chemists is really very straightforward indeed.

The numerous advantages of translating gradient chromatographic methods between the differing formats of LC have been explored and discussed. While translations in principle obey well defined chromatographic theories, the authors investigate a number of potential pitfalls that may result in poor translations as exhibited by selectivity differences, changes in efficiency, and hence failure to meet resolution system suitability criteria.

The use of superficially porous particles (SPPs) in the manufacture of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns has become prominent in recent years. Over the course of the past decade most major manufacturers have built column lines around the technology. At the recent Pittcon conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, a large number of oral and poster presentations centred on the current research and advances using superficially porous particles. This instalment aims to provide some highlights of these recent trends.

To characterize biopharmaceuticals, particularly monoclonal antibodies and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), you need a complete toolbox of powerful tools. You are probably familiar with LC–MS methods. But have you seen what light-scattering detection can do?

A novel microdestructive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method for the analysis of blue pen ink strokes has been published. The analysis of pen inks can be challenging because ink compositions are usually under patent, the samples are small, and inks can degrade over time.

Fracking activity in the northeast of the USA has rapidly increased over recent years, with over 8000 Marcellus wells drilled in the Marcellus Formation in Pennsylvania, USA, alone. Scientists in Pennsylvania investigating an isolated contamination incident have published data from their study, demonstrating the application of comprehensive 2D gas chromatography coupled with time-of‑flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC–TOF-MS) to investigate fracking contamination in a drinking water source.

Parabens are commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products to protect against microbial growth, but a new study suggests that manufacturers may also be using parabens in plastic teething products designed for infants. Scientists applied an effect-directed approach (to determine endocrine disrupting ability) to analyze teething products prior to chemical analysis using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Of 10 products were tested, two were found to contain endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
