LCGC TV: Applying Linear Solvation Energy Relationships to Chiral Separations
Chiral separations are highly qualitative. Apryll Stalcup from the Irish Separation Science Cluster, and an organizer of ISC 2016 in Cork this year, discusses why she wants to look at these separations more closely and explains the role of linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) in this research.
The LCGC Blog: Hidden Problems in Your LC–MS Data?
If you don’t examine your LC–MS data closely, you could be missing some of these effects, and those problems with your quantitative data will never be fixed.

The Power of 2D LC
Protein biopharmaceuticals have seen an enormous growth in the last decade, and as a result, separation scientists are giving increased attention to methods for characterizing biopharmaceuticals. One powerful technique for analyzing proteins is two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D LC). Gerd Vanhoenacker of the Research Institute for Chromatography (RIC) in Kortrijk, Belgium, has been conducting research into peptide mapping of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) using 2D LC. He recently spoke to The Column about this work.
