This method showcases a precise, automated workflow for determining methylene chloride in indoor air using thermal desorption GC-MS and GERSTEL’s ISDP module. Automated gaseous internal standard addition ensures highly reproducible tube spiking, while optimized TD and GC-MS parameters provide sensitive and stable quantification—well below OSHA exposure limits. The approach enables accurate baseline monitoring in laboratories, offices, and industrial environments where regulatory compliance and worker protection are essential.
Liquid chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–IMS–HRMS) shows elephant seal pups carry more PFAS than their mothers do.
This week's Chromatography Online highlights include olive waste antioxidant recovery, food and tea analysis, EV isolation, mRNA vaccine purification, perfusion chromatography for oligonucleotides, mass spectrometry in teaching and career advice from “Women in Chromatography.”
Kinjal Bhatt and Ina Varfaj call AI a chromatography equalizer only if training and access keep pace, framing the risk as implementation, not technology.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) reveal lasting brain cholesterol loss after myelin damage.
Kinjal Bhatt would expose early-career scientists to the field sooner, while Ina Varfaj says a broken chromatography column taught her failure is normal.
