Instrumental Innovations: July/August 2023

A group of Malaysian and American scientists recently analyzed the benefits of using green metrics for detecting emerging contaminants (ECs) using analytical methods.

Splitless modes of operation using an optimized pulse injection are described.

The impact of contamination on each part of the inlet is examined.

The author discusses the benefits and challenges of using hydrogen in the laboratory, specifically regarding gas chromatography and GC–MS procedures.

This instalment explores the challenges involved in detecting the effluent from a capillary gas chromatographic column and summarizes the many detector options.

Researchers have introduced MCnebula, a new framework for untargeted LC–MS/MS data analysis. MCnebula focuses on critical chemical classes and utilizes visualization techniques to streamline the analysis process, enabling efficient pathway analysis, biomarker discovery, and classification of unknown compounds beyond the limits of spectral libraries.
