Welcome to the first global edition of The Column. This issue sees a merger with The Peak from LC•GC North America to create one global digital magazine.
With a combined circulation of almost 139 000 chromatographers throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East, The Column will now serve the biggest single chromatography audience in the world.
Our North American readers will notice a new screen-friendly layout and increased frequency as we pick up The Column’s twice-monthly publishing schedule worldwide. And readers everywhere will benefit from a new global perspective as we draw insights and information from our US and European editorial teams.
Regular content will include familiar application-based features incorporating the latest scientific advances providing practical use to the reader, alongside the latest global news of company acquisitions, current research, conferences and other exciting developments within the industry.
Our market trends and analysis column will continue to deliver the facts on statistics and trends within the separation science industry; while Incognito will provide a sometimes controversial viewpoint on developments and trends impacting those working within the sector.
We will be publishing interviews with key personnel from both academia and industry explaining recent research and developments in technology and offering practical advice on how to maximize the benefits of GPC/SEC.
Add an up-to-date listing of key dates in the global chromatography calendar and a selection of the latest chromatographic equipment releases around the world dedicated to specific techniques, and you have the first truly global chromatography magazine ever published.
As always, please let us know what you think of this new publication. We really want your feedback. And don’t worry if you need to access past articles from The Peak; archived editions for all our previous digital publications will still be available through our website www.chromatographyonline.com.
If you haven’t subscribed already, please click here to make sure you don’t miss out on the biggest chromatography magazine community in the world.
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
