Perkin NA - Furan in Food by Headspace-GC–MS

New gas chromatography-based approaches were tested for detecting volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for binders used in mineral wool insulation products.

In episode #37 of Analytically Speaking, podcast host Dr. Jerry Workman speaks with Dr. Austin Daniels, application scientist for Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, about flow imaging microscopy (FIM), a new technology for sub-visible particle characterization in biologics.

This article describes the analytical challenges of chemical exposomics in food safety. The need for high-throughput, multi-platform approaches—such as LC–HRMS and GC–HRMS with IMS—to capture the full spectrum of potential contaminants in our food supply is emphasized.

A joint study between the Nursing School of North Henan Medical University (Xinxaing, China) and The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University (Harbin, China) used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for an observational study collecting and classifying surgical smoke generated during laparoscopic surgery to evaluate the carcinogenic risks to healthcare workers.

Researchers from Waters and Biospring studied the contribution of nucleotide type and modifications on the retention and resolution of 22–24 nt long oligonucleotides in different chromatographic methods.
