He describes how labs often receive samples with vague instructions to simply "find out what PFAS are in it," when what's ...

Vladimir Shulaev | Author | LCGC International provides separation science insights, including liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry (MS).

Bryan Vining notes that early PFAS concern centered on eight-carbon compounds like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and ...

Bryan Vining introduces one of the most persistent problems in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) work: background contamination. Because PFAS compounds are so ubiquitous, he notes, measuring ...

Shimadzu expanded its eTOC portfolio with the TOC-1000e S to continuously quantify trace organic contamination in ultrapure ...

LC-MS/MS identified chlortetracycline in 1/29 and doxycycline in 4/29 chicken-based cat kibbles, indicating sporadic antibiotic carryover into finished commercial diets. PFAS were detected in 7/29 ...

Sample preparation takes the spotlight as the panel debates the trade-offs between direct injection and solid-phase extraction (SPE). David Megson recalls trace-level analysis in complex matrices from ...

Cardinal Health discusses with LCGC International how switching from reversed-phase to hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) can unmask a hidden excipient artifact mistaken for a true ...

Technique selection hinges on volatility/polarity; LC‑HRMS typically initiates characterization for nonvolatile/semi-volatile features, while GC‑MS can resolve ...

The 54th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2025) will be held from Sunday through Thursday, June 15-19, 2025, in Bruges, Belgium.
