LCGC TV: Frederick Lynen on the Challenges of Developing a HILIC-based SPE Approach to Analyze Biological Fluids
A single drop of blood represents a complex mixture of biological compounds including phospholipids, proteins, and salts. Frederic Lynen of Ghent University in Belgium discusses the possibilities of a HILIC-based SPE approach to remove phospholipids from blood samples, its applicability to other organic molecules, and how it benefits the chromatographer in practice.
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with headspace solid-phase microextraction )HS-SPME) links cocoa variety to chocolate aroma and flavor profiles.
Kirstine Nielsen of Aarhus University (Denmark) discusses how targeted metabolomics ratios helped build a robust bloodstain time-since-deposition tool.
Gérard Hopfgartner explains how atmospheric pressure photoionization can generate radical cations in LC–MS, unlocking EI-style spectra and NIST's spectral library.
LCGC International spoke to Akina Nara of Japan’s Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University about a new study which links a blood compound to how long a body has been dead.
