The Safe Hydrogen Gas Solution for GC
The VICI DBS range of FID Gas Stations with sophisticated software control and alarm capability present the GC user with the opportunity to reap all the benefits offered by hydrogen carrier gas, whilst overcoming the safety concerns. These unique instrument combines the reliability of the VICI DBS hydrogen and zero air generators into one compact and convenient FID package. Learn more

The LCGC Blog: Research on Polarizing Environmental Topics Requires More Than Just Analytical Chemistry

On Thursday afternoon at Pittcon 2018, I participated in a session titled "Advances in Environmental Analytical Chemistry: Impacts on Modern Petroleum Production Monitoring and Oil Spill Science," which was organized by Ryan Rodgers of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University. I received the honorary co-organizer title, but Ryan was the one who initiated the effort, pulled it together, and saw it through to successful fruition. Read more

Tips & Tricks for New Gas Chromatographers

Three main points summarize the best ways to be successful in gas chromatography (GC): Capillary GC is clean GC; practice, practice, practice; and be a student of GC. Read more

Capillary Electrophoresis: The Past, Present, and Future

Inspired by the work of Jorgenson and Lukacs, 30 years ago, the group of Richard Smith at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington (USA) reported the first online coupling of the microscale separation technique capillary electrophoresis (CE) to electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) using a sheath-liquid interface.

ASPEC^® Cartridges: LC-MS/MS detection of Δ⁹ –tetrahydrocannabinol in plasma using SPE (solid phase extraction) clean-up

The analysis of Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol and its metabolites is usually done by GC/MS, which has long run times. In order to reduce run times without the loss of sensitivity and selectivity, Gilson has developed a method using LC-MS/MS. LC-MS/MS is a difficult method to use with this kind of compound due to the absence of functional groups, such as amines and carboxylic acid, which normally allow for good sensitivity. Learn more
