As part of the Earth Day celebration in Dallas, Texas, last month, the Collaborative Laboratories for Environmental Analysis and Remediation (CLEAR) at U.T. Arlington hosted the first annual Responsible Shale Energy Extraction (RSEE) symposium (www.shalescience.org). We had an exceptional range of speakers who conveyed all sides of the issue, including U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and atmospheric scientist Dr. Katherine Hayhoe from Texas Tech University, one of Time’s top 100 most influential people. We had representatives from major oil producers, environmental groups, land management groups, water recycling service companies, and scientists conversant on many key issues related to unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction. Even though we have been very involved in this conversation for the past several years, several points stood out.

Several variables can be used to change selectivity in a liquid chromatography (LC) separation. Here we compare the variables in an effort to prioritize which experiments will be most effective.

In this instalment, John Hinshaw presents an annual review of new developments in the field of gas chromatography (GC) seen at Pittcon 2017 and other venues in the past year.

Antec announced last March the corporate name change to Antec Scientific. The name change comes along with a new Corporate Identity and the launch of an updated website later this month.

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTC) have used gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS) to investigate microalgae biomass as an alternative resource for fishmeal and fish oil in the production of fish feed.

Researchers from the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán in Mexico, have used solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography–electron capture detection (GC–ECD) to study the effects of organopesticides in the Yucatán region of Mexico.
