LGC is to extend its hair drug analysis services in Europe, following an agreement to market a hair test from drug testing company, Psychemedics.

Characterizing biologics through chromatographic analysis.

The analysis of clozapine and norclozapine in plasma using automated on-line sample preparation and LC–MS/MS

Global health and safety concerns now play a key role in driving innovation of liquid chromatography systems and the uptake of advanced LC technology, such as UHPLC.

An HS-GC-FID method for the determination of ethanol and methanol content in biological fluids is presented.

Peas, beans and some other plant seeds contain proteins, called globulins, which have been shown to act as a defence against insects and other herbivores. Coffee beans contain large amounts of globulins, so scientists in Brazil studied the beans to assess their potential for warding off insects.

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals regulatory effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid supply on protein expression in early development.

This article features some of the most frequently used HPLC applications for the characterization of biopharmaceuticals.

How the combination of an electroextraction with hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction can lead to a selective, rapid method

Explaining the importance of sensitive detection in phthalate testing during GC–MS analysis.

How the combination of an electroextraction with hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction can lead to a selective, rapid new method.

Driving under the influence is a serious criminal offense. To prove a suspect guilty calls for solid scientific evidence. The generally accepted method is to accurately measure the blood alcohol content. This article presents a static headspace-gas chromatography method, which offers reliable qualitative analysis, reproducibility, and short run times to allow for high throughput.

Novel analytical methods for the discovery and trace analysis of biochemically active compunds in three main area are described: protein analysis, screening technologies and multidimensional separations.

October 2006. The authors demonstrate the use of multiple-injection affinity capillary electrophoresis (MIACE) and several variations to MIACE to determine binding constants between the glycopeptide antibotics vancomycin, ristocetin, and teicoplanin from Streptomyces orientalis, Nocardia lurida, and Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, respectively, and D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptides.
