Fast Gradient LC Using Your Existing Instrumentation
Transforming "standard" gradient HPLC systems into extremely fast gradient systems is readily achievable with proper application of chromatographic principles, particularly temperature control, combined with utilization of advanced HPLC columns. Bottom line: You don't have to buy a new LC to achieve ultra high quality and speed!
Linking LC-HRMS Features to Aquatic Toxicity: A Nontargeted Approach Without Compound Identification
July 7th 2025A recent study conducted by the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the University of Queensland (Queensland, Australia) developed a novel prioritization strategy that directly links fragmentation and chromatographic data to aquatic toxicity categories, bypassing the need for identification of individual compounds. LCGC International spoke to Viktoriia Turkina of the University of Amsterdam, lead author of the paper that resulted from this study, about their work.
Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
