Recent Advances in Microfluidic Liquid Chromatography
A publication in TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry has covered the recent advances in microfluidic liquid chromatography.
A publication in TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry has covered the recent advances in microfluidic liquid chromatography (from January 2013 through April 2015). Featuring a comprehensive guide to the latest technological improvements in both device robustness, instrument integration, efficiency, and portability, the review covers low-cost separation techniques in the form of monolithic stationary phases in polymeric chips and postulates on the development of disposable, oneâtime use chromatographic columns. The possibilities of 3D printing and the impact this technology could have in terms of substrate fabrication or the manufacturing of a fully integrated instrument–column hybrid are also discussed.

Identifying and Rectifying the Misuse of Retention Indices in GC
December 10th 2024LCGC 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.
Overcoming Common Challenges to Determine Residual Impurities Using IC in APIs with Limited Water
December 10th 2024Organic 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.
