The LCGC Blog: Choosing the Right Sample Prep and Separation Tools for Food Analysis
Food analysis provides a rich sample matrix with many compounds of interest for analysis to contemplate — but one must always take care that the right tool is chosen for the desired task.
Efficiency is seamless method transfer
Retire your legacy instruments without retiring your validated methods! Make a smooth transition to maximum lab efficiency using the Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC with Intelligent System Emulation Technology (ISET).

LCGC TV: Ionic Liquid Coatings for SPME: Target Applications
Environmental, food, and biological applications are all defined by the complexity of the matrix. Jared Anderson from the Iowa State University discusses why this makes them good candidates for improvement using ionic liquid-based SPME coatings. He also discusses transfer of the analyte into the second layer in multilayered ionic-liquid coatings.
7000 GC Flowmeter
Improve your GC accuracy and reproducibility now for only £359.  One of the secrets of good gas chromatography analysis is ensuring your GC is set up correctly.  The 7000 GC Flowmeter allows you to easily and accurately set gas flows on your GC as well as the ability to automatically calculate split ratios and column flows.

New research into flow modulation methods in valve-based two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has produced an effective alternative to traditional pulse modulation. Described as “pattern modulation”, this new method increases effluent to the secondary column with flow rates compatible with most chromatographs and spectrometers.
Venue: Cultural and Congress Centre “Jordanki” in Toruń, Poland (1-3 Aleja SolidarnoŚci St., PL-87 100 Toruń)
These important scientific events will be devoted to improvement of the extractive techniques and modern separation techniques with the use in pharmaceutical, environmental, food quality testing, etc., which in turn translates to human health.
Co-organizers of symposia are: the Polish Chemical Society, the Committee of Analytical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun.
As the Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the Symposia and the chairman of the Committee of Analytical Chemistry (Polish Academy of Sciences) I would like to invite you to visit our picturesque, gothic city - Toruń. Read more
HPLC Column Dead Volume
If the hold-up volume (time) is the extra-column dead volume expressed in time or volume, what is the column dead volume and how can it be calculated?
This year’s event looks set to be a great one!
The 2-day FORUM LABO & BIOTECH LYON (held on 30 and 31 March in the Cité, Centre de Congrés) will be structured around two scientific conference programmes and 10 free training sessions touching on current major trends, best lab practices, and answering any questions that visitors have.

Featured Product
UCT QuEChERS Salt and Sorbent Mixes for Commonly Encountered Clinical/Therapeutic Compounds
The QuEChERS technique is a simple extraction and clean-up procedure that is traditionally used for pesticide residue analysis in fruits and vegetables.  UCT is moving beyond these traditional matrices and target analytes.  Newly optimized QuEChERS salt and sorbent mixtures and corresponding applications have been developed for the detection of commonly encountered clinical/therapeutic compounds from biological matrices in addition to cannabinoids and pesticides in marijuana and cannabis infused products.  Learn More
