Scientists recently developed new GC/LC-Q-TOF/MS-based method for determining pesticides in Angelica sinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine.

LCGC International sat down with Faith Johnson of ECOLAB to discuss her career and work with the Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) group.

Limited toxicokinetic and toxicologic information is available about a diverse set of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), but methods based on gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) can help unravel some of the mystery.

With green chemistry becoming a hot topic in chromatography, researchers from the Institute for Instrumental Analytics and Bioanalytics at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences examined gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC–IMS) as a greener alternative to GC–MS.
