New types of smart proteolytic samplers were tested for their effectiveness in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based protein quantification.

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) flunixin meglumine has been approved by the FDA for fever associated with bovine respiratory disease or mastitis and for control of pain from foot rot in cattle. A study determining the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of flunixin transdermal formulation in American bullfrogs used ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) to determine plasma flunixin concentrations.

Scientists from the Zhejiang Institute of Quality Scientists used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to detect 35 PFAS in paper and plastic products.

Chromatography companies recognize significant opportunities in the biotech and pharma sectors, yet face uncertainty driven by rising tariffs and the growing integration of AI tools.
