The LCGC Blog: The Environmental Effects of Unconventional Drilling: Why We Need a Comprehensive Study
Kevin Schug recently co-authored a study of water quality from 550 water wells in the Barnett Shale of North Texas. Using a suite of analytical techniques, the authors were able to find new evidence of the potential impact of unconventional natural gas extraction on environmental quality.
Slideshow: Seven Common Faux Pas in Modern HPLC
Seven outdated traditional practices that should not be performed without considering alternative approaches that can improve results, provide lower operation costs, or give faster run times. Instead of working harder, analytical scientists should work smarter. Learn more by clicking through the slideshow.

News: Investigating Yeast Products in Sparkling Wine Production
A team of researchers in Spain has examined the use of commercial yeast products in the production of white and rosé sparkling wines. Using a range of analytical techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the team examined four yeast autolysates to find out how they affect the chemical composition, foam, and sensory properties of sparkling wines aged on lees for 9 months.
