Lab scientists are constantly faced with challenges caused by aging technology including longer run times, expensive repairs and less sensitivity of their samples. As instruments approach end of life, accessing trained professionals to repair older technology also becomes more difficult and costly. In this podcast, Heather Rennie, Senior Manager, Global Services, from Waters Corporation will discuss the benefits of protecting instrumentation by including a service coverage support package at the time of purchase.
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.
A method coupling gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) tracks lipid markers of decomposition in commingled remains.
This week's top stories on the Chromatography Online website spotlight LCGC International's new SFC-focused interview series charting the technique's rise alongside LC and GC, complemented by a practical GC data-reporting refresher and a study using chromatography to detect trace pesticides in tap water.
