In a review article published in the journal Talanta, Ângela Carapito and colleagues from the University of Porto and Universidade NOVA de Lisboa evaluate the potential of urinary volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as biomarkers for bladder cancer detection.

The Column spoke with Ilaria Belluomo from Imperial College London, UK, about her research in breath analysis. She details her work into a noninvasive breath test that can be used to detect colorectal cancer using GC–MS. She also discusses the use of SIFT-MS for the analysis of VOCs in breath.

Adhesives often contain toxic materials like residual monomers; here, we demonstrate quantitative analysis of residual monomers in adhesives using GC–MS.

In a recent study, SHS-GC–MS was used to analyze children’s plastic toys to ensure their safety and efficacy.

At the 2023 Gulf Coast Conference, LCGC spoke with John Wasson of Wasson-ECE Instrumentation, who discussed the process of retrieving high-quality, real-time data from chemical processing plant streams. This interview was one of four conducted live at GCC 2023.
