LCGC TV: Gérard Hopfgartner on Advances in Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Performing liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) analysis on tissue samples requires sample homogenization, which destroys the sample and loses its spatial resolution. Gérard Hopfgartner from the University of Geneva, University of Lausanne, Switzerland, presents an alternative method coupling liquid extraction surface analysis with modifier-assisted differential ion mobility spectrometry, describes other application areas, and gives his opinion on whether this is the beginning of the end for chromatography.
An Economical and Green approach for the Total Analysis of Dioxins, PCBs and PBDEs
Several recent advances in New Automated Sample Prep Systems and Chemistries have been made. These advances have greatly reduced the costs and solvent consumption associated with the analysis of Dioxins, PCBs and PBDEs delivering consistent, high recoveries for the analysis in the same day. Register to attend a Webinar on May 6th to learn more about recent advances in Sample Prep systems and Chemistries.
The 2015 LCGC Awards: Part 1 This year, we are pleased to honour an outstanding chromatographer, Joseph Jack Kirkland, as the winner of the 2015 LCGC Lifetime Achievement in Chromatography Award.
The LCGC Blog: Useful Tips for Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS)
There are many aspects of analytical science that abound with myth and legend, but gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and more specifically the electron ionization (EI) process, stands out as the technique which has given rise to the largest number of “urban myths” and misunderstandings.
GC Connections: Gas Chromatography Ovens
The transit of peaks through a gas chromatography (GC) column depends strongly on the thermal profile they encounter on the way. Gas chromatographers primarily rely on the classic hot-air-bath type of oven, but several alternatives are also in use. This instalment examines ovens for GC in several forms plus how oven thermals affect peak retention behaviour.
