The advantages and limitations of several recently introduced mathematical procedures for enhancing peak resolution in liquid chromatography (LC) are described. Despite advanced separation technologies and extensive knowledge in method development, peak overlap is still commonly observed. This article gives a brief overview of the advantages and limitations of recently introduced mathematical procedures for enhancing resolution.

Gaining a solid understanding of how HPLC instrumentation works will help you achieve success in the analytical laboratory. This four-part series is here to guide you, starting with pumps.

What are the roles and responsibilities of quality assurance staff for ensuring data integrity in an organization?

Coupling CE with MS presents some challenges. Here, we discuss the advantages of CE–MS over LC–MS, and the parameters that are important to obtain a stable CE–MS profile.

Improved practices in chemistry selection and sample processing may resolve recovery issues related to target analytes or internal standards.

Unlike reversed-phase liquid chromatography, SFC lacks a universal stationary phase. Thus, it is important to re-evaluate the default column screening library used with SFC. In this study, three uncommon achiral SFC columns were investigated and compared to three popular stationary phases.

The Biemann Medal will be awarded to Sarah Trimpin at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference on Tuesday, June 4, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jefferey Shabanowitz, a principal scientist at the Hunt Laboratory at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Virginia), will receive the Al Yergey Mass Spectrometry Scientist Award at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference on Monday, June 3, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 2019 Ron Hites Award, to be presented on Wednesday, June 5, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, will honor Julia Laskin of Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana) and her coauthors for their paper, “Towards High-Resolution Tissue Imaging Using Nanospray Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Coupled to Shear Force Microscopy.”

The winners of the 2019 Research awards from the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) are James F. Davies of the University of California, Riverside; Nicolas L. Young of Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas); and Eleanor Browne, of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

John R. Yates III, a professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, California), will receive the John B. Fenn Award for a Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference on Monday, June 3, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 48th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2019) will be held 16–20 June 2019 at the Milano-Bicocca University, in Milan, Italy. This is the first time that this symposium will be held in Italy.

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are routinely detected in a variety of aquatic environments and these compounds encompass a wide range of chemical and physical properties that contribute to their combined analytical screening challenges. Further examination of their accumulation throughout environmental samples that contain solids, including sediments, adds additional levels of analytical difficulties in their effective extraction and new sample matrix interferences. QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) has become a very popular extraction and cleanup technique for the analysis of multiresidue pesticides in agricultural and food samples. Applying the same principles to overcome similar challenges in PPCP analysis in solid environmental samples is demonstrated in this article.

Markes International has been awarded two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the categories of “innovation” and “international trade”.

Following decades of research, evidence of the human microbiome’s importance in maintaining overall health and well-being has become evident, spawning a multimillion-dollar industry. A wide range of products aimed at repairing and maintaining a healthy microbiome are now available, with many focusing on prebiotics.

Researchers have analyzed sediment core from a lake located in the northern foothills of Alaska’s Brooks Range to investigate the Beringian standstill hypothesis (BSH) of human migration into the Americas.
