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

Researchers from Austria, Greece, and Italy conducted a study to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in Irish and Scotch whiskys using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC×GC–MS) to examine the organoleptic characteristics that influence the taste of spirits.

A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.

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.

Messina Institute of Technology scientists used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to profile illegal samples of Cannabis sativa L.

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.

Everyone is talking about sustainability, and organizations are creating sustainability programs. But what does green chemistry really mean, and how does it apply to gas chromatography?

LCGC International spoke to Doug Raynie about a novel gas chromatography (GC) method incorporating a consumer vape to investigate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using GC with solid phase microextraction (SPME).

In this feature article, we profile three global cities (Cairo, Beijing, and Delhi) and how they are combatting the air pollution crisis to better protect the health of their residents.

This review aims to provide a summary of the most current analytical techniques and their applications in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research, contributing to the ongoing efforts to monitor and mitigate PFAS contamination.

Scientists recently used thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromatography– time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) to track per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) emissions from materials used in firefighter gear.
