Alkyl Phosphates in Petroleum Samples: A Surprising Analytical Challenge

Shifts in U.S. federal science funding—driven by the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—are causing delays, uncertainty, and program changes across academic and regulatory research institutions.

A new cancer detection test to analyze volatile organic compounds through urine analysis, was granted the Breakthrough Device Designation status by the U.S. FDA. The system, which is built on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and proprietary AI, generates real-time cancer risk scores.

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used alongside quality control systems to analyze amino acids present in urine samples.

A new gas chromatography-based approach involving skin-contact sampling bands was used to detect potential malaria infections.

In this article, you’ll find some of the top content that was published on LCGC this week, including a technical article on food flavor and an interview with the president of Shimadzu Europa.

In a new study, researchers used GC–MS and LC–MS were used to detect composition fraud in food supplement creation.
