For this month's Chromatography Corner, we spoke to Kevin Schug of the University of Texas at Arlington. Schug addresses a few myths that surround electrospray ionization (ESI), including why "less is more" for successful separations.
In response to the recent discovery of dangerous levels of dioxins in animal feed produced in Germany, Phenomenex has announced its publication of a method for analysing the chemicals using high-resolution gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection.
Brian Bidlingmeyer, long-time LCGC Editorial Advisory Board member, received the 2010 Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science on Tuesday, November 16, 2010.
