LCGC International’s mission is to deliver practical, unbiased content that helps separation scientists perform more effectively in the workplace and learn the necessary practical skills to become a successful professional chromatographer.

We leverage an innovative array of multimedia to enhance comprehension and retention of essential knowledge that can help you to become an even more successful separation scientist. This multimedia approach supports diverse learning styles, making scientific education more dynamic and adaptable to the needs of our global audience.

LCGC International is more than just a publishing platform—it is a learning ecosystem that serves the separation science and mass spectrometry community. By offering a blend of in-depth articles, expert interviews, instructional video panel discussions, webinars, virtual symposiums, eBooks, newsletters, and more, our platform ensures that educational content is engaging, accessible, and professionally enriching, and the first port of call for scientists seeking a credible source of trusted information.

What sets LCGC International apart is its commitment to technical accuracy and real-world relevance. Whether you’re a seasoned chromatographer or a student just beginning your journey in analytical chemistry, our platform provides resources tailored to various levels of expertise. This inclusivity fosters a strong sense of community, uniting learners and professionals in a shared pursuit of knowledge.

Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

One of the key challenges in scientific education is bridging the divide between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. LCGC International tackles this head-on by emphasizing practical insights. This practical focus makes the content not only educational but also immediately applicable—a major asset in professional environments where time and accuracy are critical.

Our flagship print title exemplifies this approach with our word-leading columnists. A miniscule snapshot of recent editorial highlights with an emphasis on practical advice include Dwight Stoll discussing Mobile Phase Buffers in LC: A Review of Essential Ideas; Nick Snow recapping readers on Fundamentals of Benchtop GC–MS Data Analysis and Terminology; an update on the modern analytical toolbox required for Polysorbate Analysis in Biopharmaceutical Applications by Koen Sandra; Michael Dong on what analytical chemists need to know about updated Current cGMPs, Bob McDowall educates readers on the Five Rules of Peak Integrations to keep you out of trouble with auditors; and a timely update on Biopharmaceutical Characterization in the Age of Artificial Intelligence from Jared Auclair and Anurag Rathore.

The fields of chromatography and analytical science are constantly evolving, with new techniques and technologies emerging rapidly. LCGC International helps professionals stay up to date by offering timely, curated content that reflects the latest technological developments in the field. This positions our platform as a valuable tool for lifelong learning, helping users maintain their competitive edge and adapt to change.

A core success story in our mission to educate is CHROMacademy, one the world’s largest e-learning platforms for analytical chemists, which aims to elevate practical and theoretical expertise in chromatography amongst younger scientists embarking on their careers and older scientists who could do with refreshing their skills. We recently broadcast a highly regarded virtual symposium, ChromTalks 2025: Essential Troubleshooting Tips and Tricks, where leading experts in LC and GC offered their sage advice on how to combat common problems analysts can encounter when embarking on a fresh chromatography method: Catch the full program On-Demand here.

The editors of LCGC International have also kept our audience up to speed with the pace of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research with extensive interviews with leading practitioners, the latest research news stories, peer exchange panel discussions, and dedicated supplements on this topic. On the multimedia side, we held the LCGC International PFAS Summit 2025 with a focus on the cutting-edge developments in food- and environmental analysis from a separation science perspective. You can view the full program here.

Constantly Evolving

The editorial team are particularly proud of the relaunch of LCGC’s popular digital sister publication, The Column, which is now published quarterly with expanded news, business and career coverage as well as in-depth video interviews, interactive video elements, event previews, thought-leader articles, and short, practical technical features describing how new chromatography technologies benefit the working chromatographer in practice. You can subscribe to The Column and all branches of our multimedia portfolio here
