An analysis method for influenza virus particles has been developed using SEC which provides complimentary biopharmaceutical data for use during vaccine production and approval.

Researchers have developed a rapid and sensitive technique for the speciation analysis of complexes of nickel, lead, cobalt, iron, and calcium, as well as two aminopolycarboxylate chelator variants, EDTA and EDDS.

There’s a lot of interest in moving data to the cloud for security, centralization, and collaboration. Doing so, however, has implications for data integrity and audits. To understand more, we spoke to Monica Cahilly, the president and founder of Green Mountain Quality Assurance, in a podcast interview. Cahilly has more than 25 years of consulting experience, with specialized interest and enthusiasm for data integrity assurance and data governance. A short excerpt of that interview is presented here.

When we are focused on resolving a particular problem, it can be easy to lose sight of important steps in troubleshooting problems with liquid chromatography (LC) instruments. Taking a systematic and disciplined approach to troubleshooting can improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of our troubleshooting efforts.

The 2020 Eastern Analytical Symposium has gone virtual for 2020, and although we will miss the camaraderie of face to face interaction, the theme of this year’s conference “Analytical Science: Cornerstone of Innovation” indicates the strength of the separation sciences and the talks that you will not want to miss.

A new methodology and protocol to increase the scope of essential pharmaceutical analysis during the production and testing of drug molecules.

Shimadzu have announced their lab4you student programme will run for the sixth year with young scientists from across Europe able to apply for laboratory bench space for their own research at the “Shimadzu World Laboratory” located in Duisburg, Germany.

Researchers have developed a new method of profiling compounds with multiple chiral centres using a LC–mLC approach.

LCGC is pleased to announce the addition of Nicholas Snow to its editorial advisory board (EAB).

In gas chromatography, heating the sample in the inlet can lead to sample losses and loss of quantitative reproducibility, but these problems can be avoided using cold sample introduction. Here, we explain the various types of cold injection and why you should consider it in your next instrument purchase or upgrade.

In this interview, Rafael Paseiro-Cerrato of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discusses his investigations into the potential for compounds in can coatings to migrate into food.

Are your OOS investigations scientifically sound and is the assignable cause correct? Or are OOS results invalidated using the ever-popular justification of analyst error?

In this study, a method for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides was developed using magnetic solid-phase extraction followed by HPLC with UV detection

As described in last month’s blog post, the ongoing global pandemic has transformed the way that educators approach teaching analytical chemistry. As I reflect back on my own experience from the Spring 2020 semester, one positive aspect that has come from the seemingly infinite number of video meetings has been the opportunity to connect with colleagues that we might not consider if it weren’t for the “new normal” of working remotely.

This is seventh in a series of articles exploring hot topics in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
