The Next Generation

What is the state of separation science in UK and what steps can be taken to promote the importance of the subject?

Better sample preparation and miniaturized separations are enhancing these analyses.

New sample preparation workflows for intact proteins in biological matrices are needed. We hope that others will join in this important field of research.

Two-dimensional LC, with advanced modulation techniques, can advance the analysis of advanced polymeric materials, assisting in characterizing copolymer composition heterogeneity and identifying ingredients in complex products.

Examples from food science illustrate the usefulness of chemometrics techniques like pattern recognition, regression, and classification.

HPLC is emerging as the preferred analytical method for potency testing of cannabinoids, but fundamental work is needed to solve critical issues and contribute to advancing knowledge.

Compact instrumentation offers important advantages for many workflows, as illustrated by these examples.
