Gradient Elution: Solving Dwell-Volume Problems
Gradient methods can offer unique solutions to separation problems, but transferring a gradient method from the literature, between laboratories, or even within the same laboratory can be a challenging process. In this instalment of “LC Troubleshooting”, John Dolan looks at some very practical problems related to gradient operation and discusses how the gradient dwell volume can impact results. More... |

Simple and Fast Quantification of Capsaicinoids in Hot Sauces Using Monolithic Silica Capillaries and LC–MS
This work describes the simple and fast quantification of capsaicinoids extracted from diverse hot sauces used to spice up sausages. The various capsaicinoids were separated on a robust reversed-phase monolithic silica capillary column and then directly transferred to a mass spectrometry system. The main analytes obtained via this method and contributing 90% of chili heat were capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin. Both were analysed quantitatively in a set of 10 different sauces. The combined results are displayed in Scoville heat units (SHU) and compared to manufacturer's data. More... |

Tips & Tricks GPC/SEC: Analysis and Calibration for Low Molar Mass Macromolecules
Macromolecules can range from several hundred daltons to several million daltons in molar mass. There are many applications where only products with a low molecular weight are used. Gel permeation chromatography/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) analysis can be easily optimized to yield improved results when analysing oligomers and low molar mass macromolecules. Column selection and system calibration are key to successful characterization. New detection techniques also allow an additional insight. More... |
