Orange Photonics said the agency will use its LightLab 3 as part of a broader effort to regulate and test the safety of food-related cannabis products.

What critical components can help to resolve the separation challenges related to pesticides analysis in food?

In his keynote lecture at HPLC 2023, Alejandro Cifuentes from the Laboratory of Foodomics, Institute of Food Science Research, CIAL, CSIC in Madrid, Spain, highlighted the promising application of foodomics in addressing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (1).

The level of uncertainty provided by most forensic laboratories for reported blood alcohol results has been woefully underassessed. Not only is this bad science, but someone’s civil liberties may be at stake.

Forensic laboratories need to revise their procedures for uncertainty assessment in blood alcohol determinations. We explain why.

Giorgia Purcaro of the University of Liège discusses the advantages offered by the liquid chromatography–comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometer/flame ionization detector (LC–GCxGC–TOF-MS/FID) method in the analysis of mineral oil.

Scientists at NACRW discussed using CE–MS to analyze highly polar agrochemicals.

A separation science team has developed a green and cost-effective method, called feather fiber-supported liquid extraction (FF-SLE), for determining synthetic antioxidants in edible oils.

Researchers have developed an ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)—tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of 10 aminoglycoside antibiotics in aquatic products.

This blog addresses the essential role software has in shaping the present and future of chromatography for the better.

In Alejandro Cifuentes's keynote lecture at HPLC 2023, he discussed the research he and his team have done to explore how foodomics can be effective in combating Alzheimer's disease.

At HPLC 2023, Paola Dugo held a lecture on how combining two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) with mass spectrometry (MS) can help scientists analyze food samples.

Applying headspace-SIFT-MS to untargeted screening of food products and ingredients.

In this LCGC Blog, Tony Taylor performs various experiments with ChatGPT to test how useful the AI technology can be in aiding chromatographers' work.

Researchers achieve a breakthrough in countercurrent chromatography, successfully separating three types of sanshools from Zanthoxylum bungeanum oleoresin, paving the way for enhanced purification and isolation of valuable compounds.

A new study introduces a comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC–MS/MS) method for the analysis of 112 pesticides in corn-based products. The method exhibits high precision, lower limit of quantification values, and successful detection of trace levels of pesticides in real samples, offering promise for the analysis of complex matrices.

Innovative gas chromatography (GC) study combines computer vision and chromatographic fingerprinting to uncover diagnostic signatures in food volatilome.

A recent study analyzed the composition and metabolism of steroidal alkaloids in Solanum nigrum fruits of different maturities and identified steroidal glycoalkaloids and steroidal alkaloids, providing a foundation for further research on biosynthesis and discovery of new steroidal alkaloid anticancer drugs.

A new published study introduces a simple and fast way to differentiate between animal species based on their hair. The in-sample digestion method coupled with mass spectrometry analysis was successfully tested on multiple species.
