Messina Institute of Technology scientists used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to profile illegal samples of Cannabis sativa L.

The 54th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2025) will be held from Sunday through Thursday, 15–19 June 2025, in Bruges, Belgium. LCGC International spoke to the Scientific Committee to find out what’s in store.

LCGC International spoke to Phil Marriott and Humberto Bizzo about a recent paper they published identifying the incorrect use of retention indices in gas chromatography and how this problem can be rectified in practice.

Organic solvents are generally not compatible with ion chromatography (IC) systems. The approach presented here assists the use of organic solvents for sample preparation and provides a mechanism for the removal of the organic solvents from the chromatographic flow path.
