Carbon black nanoreporters can warn oil producers of unacceptable levels of hydrogen sulfide

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography certainly sounds impressive and produces some pretty pictures, but is it essential in the analysis of complex samples? Here, we show that 2D-LC offers both style and substance.

A multitude of wearable biosensors for monitoring our personal health and the external environment are on the way, led by technologies to improve performance in sport and all-round fitness. They are easy to use, will cost little and provide useful, real-time information. Stand by for the democratization of analysis.

Dwight Stoll has been working in 2D-LC since 2000. Here, he talks about the benefits of what is a core technology in his research.

Moving from 1D to 2D liquid chromatography is a big step towards the high peak capacities demanded by complex sample analysis.

Raman spectroscopy has multifaceted appeal but requires an additional metrological dimension to make it a truly competitive quantitative technology.

A broad-based and ongoing scientific education is essential to the success of the research enterprise. We risk losing it.

Could a DNA-savvy clean-tech startup disrupt the water analysis market?

As instrumentation becomes ever more sophisticated, the connection between the analytical question being asked and the answer provided is steadily eroding.

Could – and should – analytical science be more environmentally friendly?
