The increased use of hormone-based therapies in health care throughout the world has resulted in hormones finding their way into municipal water supplies. The potential health risks of unintended consumption of hormones through drinking water have significantly increased the interest in identifying these compounds in our water supplies. The Milli-Q system incorporates a combination of purification processes that provides ultrapure, hormone-free lab water for the LC–MS techniques used for interference-free analysis of these contaminants.
Inside the Laboratory –– Women in Separation Science Edition
April 25th 2024Inside the Laboratory is a joint series with LCGC and Spectroscopy, profiling analytical scientists and their research groups at universities all over the world. This series spotlights the current chromatographic and spectroscopic research their groups are conducting, and the importance of their research in analytical chemistry and specific industries. In this “Inside the Laboratory –– Women in Separation Science” special edition PDF, we profile four industry leaders and the impact that their research is having in specific fields such as environmental analysis, forensics, national security, and drug development.
