The Role of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography in Mitigating PFAS in the Environment
Lee Ferguson, a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke
University, and his group are developing and applying analytical methods to measure
organic pollutants in the environment, with a focus on high-resolution mass spectrometry
(HRMS) for detecting and quantifying emerging contaminants in wastewater and
drinking water.
In this video interview, we speak with Ferguson about his laboratory’s work accurately
tracing these contaminants in complex environmental matrices.
In this seventh part of " Conversations with Michael Dong," a series on fundamentals of HPLC in pharmaceutical analysis, LCGC International’s "Perspectives in HPLC" column editor explains why 2.1-mm i.d. columns are less preferred for pharmaceutical quality control.
Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC–QTOF-MS) shows how soaking and cooking break down soybean fats.
Nicolai Zederkopff explores chromatography’s role to help implement the maximum tolerable level (MTL) framework for food adulteration to translate analytical results into compliance decisions.
Franz Berthiller (BOKU University, Austria) discusses a multilaboratory study that used retention index markers to align mycotoxin liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) data.
A QuEChERS/ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) method tracks 23 plant toxins in cereals and spices. Michele Suman discusses the method with LCGC International.
