Slalom Chromatography Revisited (Part 1): An Interview With Fabrice Gritti

LCGC International spoke to Fabrice Gritti, consultant scientist at Waters Corporation, about the history of slalom chromatography (SC) and why he decided that the technique was worth re-investigating. The potential benefits of SC, according to Gritti, include identifying RNA impurities when manufacturing mRNA therapeutics, and assisting in the development of new gene and cell therapies, and other biopharmaceutical applications.

David S. Hage on the Future of Affinity Chromatography and Complex Sample Analysis

In this LCGC International interview, David S. Hage discusses the latest advances in affinity chromatography and next-generation separation techniques for analyzing complex biological and environmental samples.

Estimating PMI Using Bone Proteomics: An Interview with Noemi Procopio, Part II
As part of “From Sample to Verdict,” LCGC International sat down with Noemi Procopio, who is the principal investigator of the "Forens-OMICS" team and a senior research fellow in forensic science at the University of Central Lancashire, to talk about her team’s work. This part dives deep into post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation and how bone proteomics can be used to accurately estimate PMI.

Challenges and Solutions in Oligonucleotide Analysis (Part 1): An HPLC 2025 Video Interview with Torgny Fornstedt

LCGC International interviewed Torgny Fornstedt, professor in analytical chemistry and leader of the Fundamental Separation Science Group at Karlstad University, Sweden, at HPLC 2025 on modern separation methods to analyze oligonucleotides.
