A key component for data integrity is having accurate and precise analytical procedures that are validated for intended use. Changes in the way that procedures are specified, developed, validated, and operated are coming. Here is what you need to know.

When determining which sample preparation technique to use for your sample and analysis type, there are many factors to consider. To make this easier, LCGC has created step-by-step guidance for you to follow as you think through the options-in an easy-to-use flow-chart structure.

My initial inclination was to write about something other than the current status of life, given the threats of coronavirus. However, after a month extension to the shelter-in-place was ordered by the U.S. government this past weekend, and after various e-discussions with friends and colleagues throughout the world who are experiencing similar challenges, I felt I might have something to offer to make life easier.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified the U.S. chemical industry and its workers as Essential Critical Infrastructure, an industry sector that is critical to public health and safety, economic, and national security.

GC carrier gas selection and settings can have a major effect on column performance and speed of analysis. This eBook explores some important considerations for working with carrier gas to optimize gas chromatography performance.

This is the second in a series of articles exploring topics that will be addressed at the HPLC 2020 conference in San Diego, from June 20 to 25.

Researchers have developed a new liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the simultaneous chromatographic separation and detection of anticoccidials, which are used as an agricultural animal treatment, in environmental waters.
