Book Review: Introduction to Modern Liquid Chromatography, 3rd Edition by L.R. Snyder, J.J. Kirkland and J.W. Dolan

Recently, we spoke with Esther Olonimoyo from the University of Maryland, who recently published a study using high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze short chain fatty acids.

In a new study, researchers explored a new approach for detecting pesticide residues in water samples, based around ionic liquid-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME).

This review highlights the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS), chromatography data systems (CDS), and related products that were introduced from 2024 to 2025, summarizing the technical specifications of each product and highlighting significant user benefits.

Microplastics can linger in aquatic ecosystems, and there are limited studies that evaluate those substances’ sorption kinetics. Researchers aimed to investigate the sorption behavior of cortisone on MPs.

Oxygen heterocyclic compounds are notable components in citrus-scented creams, though quality control is important when using these compounds. Researchers recently created a workflow for extracting these substances using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) for microwave-assisted extraction (MAE).

In this month's edition of the LCGC Blog, discover how weighted least squares regression enhances quantitation accuracy in analytical chemistry, particularly for low-concentration analytes in HPLC.
