This study highlights the benefits of using ternary eluent compositions in SFC for separating peptides.

A supramolecular solvent-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method was discovered that can potentially serve as a better alternative when analyzing lignans in medicinal plants.

The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley 2023 Annual Symposium, held April 20, 2023, includes an afternoon oral session focused on the analysis of biological systems.

The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley Annual Symposium offers talks tomorrow on the analysis of environmental and industrial samples, including PFAS, agrochemical product impurities, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Sartans are important drugs that help treat hypertension and heart failure. However, since their recall in 2018 because of the presence of genotoxic impurities in these drugs, researchers are tackling the question of how to detect these impurities in these drugs before they go to market. This article describes a HPLC–APCI-MS/MS method that can help in this endeavor.

Ion chromatography is a technique best suited for analyzing herbicides, such as glyphosate, because it can detect its metabolites with high sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy.

An examination of capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) and a look at where the technique is heading in the future is presented in this review.

A new approach developed by researchers called MetImage can help decode liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based untargeted metabolomics data into multichannel digital images, which is a new approach for using whole metabolome profiles for AI-based clinical applications.

A new study that uses native top-down fragmentation and isotope depletion-mass spectrometry contributes to the growing body of research on αSyn and its association with Parkinson’s disease.

A new differential ion mobility spectrometry device has been created that will greatly change how chemicals and substances are found and analyzed.

A recent study highlights the challenges and triumphs scientists studying charge determination mass spectrometry faced in the mid-1990s.

A new semiquantification strategy efficient way to estimate suspect PFAS concentrations is described here.

The study demonstrated the correspondence between particle mass and specific quadrupole potentials in this device. This allows for the preparation of charged ice particle beams with selected narrow mass and kinetic energy distributions.

A new method using capillary electrophoresis to determine sulfur oxide could have far-reaching effects on the wine industry.

A new method that combines LE-SPE and LC-ESI-MS/MS can improve extraction of monosaccharide anhydrides from sediment samples.

A recent study shows how 2D-LC–MS can provide expanded analytical coverage of cosmetics-prohibited substances.

With Shimadzu Corporation's new location, the company hopes to innovate their research and technological efforts.

On March 21, 2023, Peter Schoenmakers and Emanuela Gionfriddo received the LCGC Lifetime Achievement and the LCGC Emerging Leader in Chromatography Awards, respectively, in a symposium at Pittcon 2023 in Philadelphia. Talks in the session highlighted the awardees’ achievements, discussed recent advances in the development of analytical techniques, and addressed current challenges.

At Pittcon 2023, LCGC spoke with Peter Schoenmakers of the University of Amsterdam, who is the winner of our 2023 Lifetime Achievement in Chromatography Award. This segment previews one of three Pittcon interviews that were conducted at the conference.

At Pittcon 2023, LCGC spoke with Emanuela Gionfriddo of the University of Toledo, who is the winner of our 2023 Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award. This segment previews one of three Pittcon interviews that were conducted at the conference.

At Pittcon 2023, LCGC spoke with Jim Grinias of Rowan University. This segment previews one of three Pittcon interviews that were conducted at the conference.

Because the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020–2023 disrupted yearly face-to-face events, the Dal Nogare Award Symposium at Pittcon 2023 included both the 2021 and 2022 winners. Read more about the symposium here.

Prof. Emanuela Gionfriddo of the University of Toledo, in Ohio, is the recipient of the ACS Analytical Division 2023 Satinder Ahuja Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science, which was presented to her at Pittcon 2023. The purpose of this award is to recognize and encourage outstanding contributions to the fields of analytical chemistry by a young analytical scientist based on or more of the following criteria: conceptualization and development of unique instrumentation for separations; development of novel and important separation methods or methodologies; elucidation of theory or fundamental processes involved in separations; and other significant contributions to the furtherance of separation science role in the use of chemical instrumentation. Read more about this award session here.
