One of the biggest failures with purchasing chromatograph systems and chromatography data system (CDS) software is either the total lack of or poorly written user requirements. So, how can you write acceptable requirements? Is specifying a chromatograph the same as software?

This yearly report on new products introduced in the preceding year, since May 2019, covers sample preparation instrumentation, supplies, and accessories.

Our annual review of the new sample preparation instrumentation products introduced in the past year.

Our annual review of new gas chromatography (GC) products introduced in the past 12 months.

How should you maintain the calibration and qualification of chromatographs during the COVID-19 pandemic? Here, we discuss the details of how to ensure data integrity of results when faced with travel limitations and requirements for social distancing.

Interest in reducing the size of liquid chromatography (LC) instrumentation is currently growing for a number of reasons, each depending on a specific challenge or opportunity. This is fourth in a series of articles exploring hot topics in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).This is fourth in a series of articles exploring hot topics in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Most HPLC columns are packed with silica onto which some form of hydrophobic ligand is bonded – these columns form the vast majority of those used for modern reversed phase HPLC.

The Column spoke to Evelien Dejaegere from Waters Corporation about the method life cycle management approach and its importance in the pharmaceutical sector.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a collaboration with NanoPin Technologies, Inc. to improve blood-based infectious disease detection technology through the development of highly sensitive LC–MS‑based workflows.

Researchers have developed an alternative method to reduce interferences for the analysis of N-nitrosamines using GC coupled to HR-QTOF-MS.

Eurofins | IPROMA has signed a collaboration agreement with Markes International to facilitate the development and validation of a method for the quantification of micro- and nano‑plastics up to 0.3 µm in size.

Following a checklist can help to diagnose changes in chromatographic selectivity, which can be among the most difficult to isolate and correct.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has received the CE mark in the European Union for its diagnostic test to detect nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

Using GC–MS and light microscopy, researchers have investigated the dental calculus of a roman woman with coeliac disease and found she came into contact with gluten-rich cereals that would have been deleterious to her, and would likely have contributed to her premature death.

Eurofins Technologies, a provider of diagnostic technologies in the field of immunoassays and molecular detection methods, has launched GeneScan VIRSeek SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR, an integrated solution that includes RNA extraction and tests kits based on real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in swabs of environmental surfaces.

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.
