Rising Stars of Separation Science: Zhuoheng Zhou
December 5th 2023This month we spoke to Zhuoheng Zhou from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium about his research on advancing instrumental and column technologies for modern chromatography and its applications in novel biopharmaceutical modalities and proteomics.
Advanced Microextraction Technique Enhances Barbiturate Detection in Serum Samples
November 13th 2023In this study, an efficient technique is described for extracting and quantifying barbiturates in serum samples, combining ultrasound and surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (dLLME) with poly(ethylene oxide)-mediated stacking in capillary electrophoresis.
Magnetic Porous Carbon Synthesized for MSPE-CE-DAD of Trace Bisphenols in the Environment
May 22nd 2023New MSPE-CE-DAD study indicates that efficiency remained above 75% even when a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method was repeated five times, noting that the magnetic porous carbon (MPC) used in the extraction can be easily recycled.
