LCGC TV: Kevin Schug on Vacuum Ultraviolet Detection for Gas Chromatography
Gas chromatography (GC) is often regarded as a mature technology and some say that the application base has become routine; however, conventional detectors may not be able to keep up with the speed of separations that can be achieved today. In this new video Kevin Schug from the University of Texas Arlington, USA, talks about the development of a new vacuum ultraviolet (UV) detector, from the initial idea to the fundamentals of its operation.
In Part 2 of "Conversations with Michael Dong," the LCGC column editor discusses HPLC columns for pharmaceutical analysis and the case for short columns.
This week, Chromatography Online covered automated GC-MS/MS testing for phthalates in oils, chemicals hidden in bioplastic packaging, troubleshooting tips for oligonucleotides and GLP-1 peptides, automated glycan profiling, NIST reference materials, and the experience of being the only woman in the laboratory.
Multidimensional chromatography cuts ion suppression in complex environmental samples by separating salts and coeluting compounds from target analytes.
