LCGC Magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Jared L. Anderson to its editorial advisory board.
Anderson is a professor of chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Toledo (Toledo, Ohio). He joined the university as an assistant professor in 2005, and was promoted to associate professor in 2009. In 2011, he became a full professor.
His research interests include the synthesis of new classes of ionic liquids and materials derived from polymeric ionic liquids, the use of ionic liquids as catalytic solvents, and the use of ionic liquids in all aspects of separation science, including analytical extractions, purification, and chromatography.
Anderson received his B.S. in chemistry from South Dakota State University (Brookings, South Dakota) in 2000, followed by his PhD in analytical chemistry under the supervision of Daniel W. Armstrong at Iowa State University (Ames, Iowa) in 2005.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Reliable Separation and Efficient Group-type Quantitation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs)
September 11th 2024Petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, for example, is a significant concern for both the environment and human health. Thorough characterization of the contamination is required to form appropriate risk assessments and remediation strategies, but until now, the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil has typically involved a convoluted and labour-intensive process. In this article, the analysis of TPH in environmental media is simplified using flow-modulated GC×GC–FID with quantitation based on pre-defined compound groupings. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of conventional solvent fractionation approaches, by eliminating the need for sample fractionation and automating data processing workflows.
The Reality Behind Column Insertion Distance
September 10th 2024Column insertion distance is critical to good chromatography. What happens if the column is installed too low in the injection port? Is insertion distance more important when performing split injection or splitless injection? Does the position of the column in the injection port impact reproducibility?
