Techniques & Tools

Selecting “the paper of the year” is by definition subjective and very personal.

Thin-layer chromatography’s ability to simply and inexpensively provide high-quality separations in parallel makes it the perfect partner for MALDI mass spectrometry

When it comes to measuring drugs in biological samples, what is needed, what is quantifiable – and what role should analytical scientists really be playing?

Can R&D organizations really afford to kill off analytical data that could be used for future decision-making? Perhaps it’s time to breathe life back into analytical data environments.

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?

Just imagine how many analytical problems would be solved if we could increase the resolution of liquid chromatography (LC) from hundreds to thousands or perhaps a hundred thousand compounds?

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

Kickstarter technology is nothing new – but Clear Labs is making in-roads into something less common: kickstarter analytical science

Using total reflection X-ray fluorescence for the non-destructive analysis of nuclear fuel oxides
