Image of the Month: Small Separations
Will microscale 3D columns have a big impact on the future of liquid-phase separations?
A prototype of a three-dimensional liquid phase spatial separation device, 3D-printed by researchers at the University of Amsterdam using high-resolution projection microstereolithography. Complex mixtures can be spatially separated in the first- and second-dimension channels and eluted in the third dimension. The effluents are stamped out onto a MALDI substrate from the conical tips in the microfluidic device (pictured). Student Leon Niezen produced the device shown here.

After studying biology at Imperial College London, I got my start in biomedical publishing as a commissioning editor for healthcare journals, and I’ve spent my career covering everything from early-stage research to clinical medicine. Attracted by the creativity, talent and passion of the team, I joined Texere Publishing in 2014, where I’m now Associate Content Director and Editor of The Cannabis Scientist.
