In the first LCGC Blog of 2025, Caitlin Cain of the University of Michigan highlights the divide between gas and liquid chromatographers, and why both types of techniques should be in the same conversations.

This article highlights a curated selection of the most popular GC-related content, with a focus on the diverse applications of the technique, as featured in LCGC.

In this LCGC International interview with José Fernando Huertas-Pérez who is a specialist in chemical contaminants analytics and mitigation at the Nestlé Institute for Food Safety and Analytical Sciences at Nestlé Research in Switzerland, In this interview we discuss his recent research work published in Food Chemistry on the subject of a method for quantifying multi-residue pesticides in food matrices using gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) (1).

LCGC International sat down with Giorgia Purcaro of the University of Liege to discuss the impact that solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) is having on food analysis.

In this LCGC International interview with Philip J. Marriott and Michelle S. S. Amaral from the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science, School of Chemistry, Monash University, in Clayton, Victoria, Australia, we discuss their recent review published in Analytical Chemistry on the subject of analysis of food contaminants using multidimensional gas chromatography (1).
