A Level Playing Field?

| Rich Whitworth

Last year, we berated ourselves for the disappointing show of women in our Top 100 Power List (a measly eight percent). So, how did we do in our Top 40 Under 40?

The Art of Analysis, Reprised

| Anne Francois Aubry

“During human progress, every science is evolved out of its corresponding art,” wrote Herbert Spencer in 1861. So, is analytical chemistry truly as much an art form as a science?

Recognizing Research in Industry

| Martin Gilar

There are more researchers working in industry than in academic facilities – and, in many ways, they are shaping the future more profoundly than their academic colleagues. It’s time to push them into the limelight.

Late to the Flipping Party

| Olaf de Groot

Christopher Harrison described the flipped classroom as an inevitable evolution in teaching. And he’s right – but why has it taken so long for university lecturers to catch on?

A Recipe for Disaster?

| Bert Pöpping

Incorrect labeling of foods – sometimes a result of inappropriate or incorrect analysis – can cause needless suffering for people with food allergies. We analytical scientists must step up and change the landscape of food allergen analysis.

Why We Need the Theory of Sampling

| Kim H. Esbensen, Claas Wagner

Without representative sampling, measurement uncertainty is compromised. Here, we present the current Theory of Sampling versus Measurement Uncertainty debate.

The ‘Noble’ Undertaking of Helium Conservation

| Ed McCauley

Is it possible for a cylinder of helium to last years, rather than months? When using a novel split-splitless injection port for gas chromatographs, the simple answer is “yes.” Here, I present the more technical answer.

GPC Characterization of Nylon using Formic Acid for Reduced Cost per Analysis

| Sponsored by Malvern Panalytical

GPC/SEC can be used to characterize commodity or bulk manufactured polymers. Here we describe how the use of formic acid instead of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the dissolution solvent and/or mobile phase can lead to improvements in both cost per analysis and health and safety.
