At the 43rd International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC 2019) in Fort Worth, Texas, a panel addressed the current challenges and potential future directions in capillary liquid chromatography. How can their vision be achieved?

Hybrid chromatography data systems are the worst possible solution for any laboratory, whether regulated or unregulated, and yet they are pervasive. Here’s why.

Daniel W. Armstrong and Szabolcs Fekete are the winners of the 13th annual LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader in Chromatography Awards, respectively. Here, we review their achievements.

If I inject a sample buffered at a pH different from that of the mobile phase, how quickly is the sample buffer neutralized inside the column?

The “State-of-the-Art in Capillary Liquid Chromatography” panel discussion at the 43rd International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC 2019) in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, was a thoughtful dialogue on current challenges and potential future directions in the field. The session included a general overview of the current state of the field, key drawbacks preventing widespread use of capillary liquid chromatography (LC) columns, and how these challenges might be overcome. In this article, we highlight some of the common themes that were discussed as part of this panel.

I’m frustrated with static headspace sampling!

Looking back, the start of my penning of blog articles matches quite well with the start of efforts to investigate the potential environmental impacts of unconventional oil and gas extraction, and the formation of the Collaborative Laboratories for Environmental Analysis and Remediation (CLEAR; http://clear.uta.edu) at the University of Texas Arlington. It also well coincided with my effort to begin some outside consulting activities, predominantly the review of forensics evidence for blood alcohol determination. Both of these activities have blossomed considerably in the past seven years, and it has become interesting to contemplate the most rewarding way to spend my time going forward.
