Liquid Chromatography

For most of my industrial career, I’ve been a modeler and have had to deliver practical results.

The quest for greater separation power, in terms of peak capacity, has inevitably led to the development of multidimensional chromatographic techniques.

Ahead of ISCC & GC×GC 2015 symposium, we bring together a posse of multidimensional ranchers for a glimpse of what’s going on in the field – and what to expect at the Texan conference.

For years, thin layer chromatography has been working hard in the background, the choice technique in certain applications. More recently, hyphenation with mass spectrometry has been a relatively quiet – but very real – game-changer. What have you been missing?

When I was asked to evaluate a brand-new instrument with disruptive potential in my field, I did not spend long thinking about the answer. Here, I share a little background and my first impressions.

Supercritical fluid chromatography started out as anything but green. The road has been bumpy, but the modern technique cannot be ignored from an environmental perspective – despite its slight identity crisis.

Can surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) help catch vain criminals?

When bottles of beer from the 1840s were found on a shipwreck, there was only one thought on the minds of analytical scientists: what chemicals do they contain?
