PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are persistent synthetic compounds that accumulate in the environment and human body, increasingly entering the food chain through water, soil, and packaging. This infographic highlights their sources, health concerns, and testing challenges, emphasizing the need for advanced analytical methods and PFAS-free lab conditions to ensure accurate food safety testing.
Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) tracks blood metabolite changes after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)-cognitive training therapy.
Revisiting insertion distance for methanol and methylene chloride in GC analysis and confirming that insertion depth strongly affects response and reproducibility.
A novel SFC–QTOF-MS method accurately detected 10 drugs in oral fluid, matching LC–MS/MS in 83 DUID cases while reducing run time by 42% and organic solvent use by 81%.
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) team up to recover olive waste antioxidants. Marina Russo of the University of Messina (Italy) discusses the details.
