Gas Chromatography

Sitting Down With… Deirdre Cabooter, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, KU Leuven, Belgium, and HTC-14 committee member.

The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards (TASIAs) return for a third consecutive year to recognize 12 months of innovation from companies big and small.

What is the origin of stereochemical bias – terrestrial autocatalytic processes, extraterrestrial contamination or otherworldly intervention? Here, I review the gas chromatographic tools being used in the search for homochirality in space – the final frontier.

Two important innovations in analytical science have reached their 25th anniversaries: solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). Here’s why I think they are worth applauding.

Could carbon nanotubes hold the key to real-time, portable testing for meat freshness?

GSK and the RSC embark on a five-year partnership to bring GC-MS skills to Africa

The juxtaposition of simplicity through new technology with complexity in the chemistry keeps gas chromatographic method development exciting – despite GC being described by many as a “mature” technique. But are we still using packed-column thinking?

Online hyphenation of capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry is nearly 30 years old, but has been ignored in certain camps. It’s time to give CE-MS a chance.

We ask an impossible question as 2015 comes to a close: which piece of literature stood out from the crowd

Is the heat applied in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry really responsible for false results? And, if so, how often?
