Application Note Preparation It is important that each company’s material fit within the allotted space. The editors cannot be responsible for substantial editing or handling of application notes that deviate from the following guidelines:
Each application note page should be no more than 500 words in length and should follow the following format. 		Format
  • Title: short, specific, and clear
  • Abstract: brief, one- or two-sentence abstract
  • Introduction
  • Experimental Conditions
  • Results
  • Conclusions
  • References
  • Two graphic elements: one is the company logo; the other may be a sample chromatogram, figure, or table
  • The company’s full mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and Internet address
All text will be published in accordance with LCGC’s style to maintain uniformity throughout the issue. It also will be checked for grammatical accuracy, although the content will not be edited. Text should be sent in electronic format, preferably using Microsoft Word.
