The LCGC Blog: My Own March Madness – Four Dissertations, Analytical Chemistry, and Chemical Education
With four graduate students completing their doctoral dissertations at the same time, a sort of "analytical chemistry March madness" has descended for professor and blogger Kevin Schug. And the research of these "final four" is certainly worth watching. More...
Improve your HPLC and LC-MS separations
Master zwitterionic HILIC selectivity
Merck Millipore´s zwitterionic SeQuant® HILIC columns enable straightforward separation of coeluting peaks from carbohydrates, nucleotides, organic acids and other polar hydrophilic compounds. Their complementary design and weak ionic interactions allow chromatographers to easily tune the separation selectivity. Discover how to control the critical parameters and master zwitterionic HILIC selectivity to optimize your separations and avoid co-eluting peaks . Learn more
Deirdre Cabooter on Method Development in UHPLC
Performing ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) can significantly reduce analysis time without compromising on efficiency by using sub 2-μm particles that allow increased velocity while maintaining selectivity. In this new short interview, Deirdre Cabooter of KU Leuven in Belgium, discusses the advantages of using UHPLC in method development and tips to follow when transferring methods from UHPLC to HPLC instrumentation.

The Evolution of Chiral Stationary Phases from HPLC to UHPLC
This article focuses on the progression that chiral stationary phases (CSPs), specifically developed for HPLC, are currently undergoing because of the pressing need of an easy switch to UHPLC. More...
Growing Fruit – and Economies
Demand for exotic goods, such as wine and oranges, continues to grow in the western world. However, agricultural regulations can vary significantly from region to region. Regulatory bodies, such as the United States Food and Drug Association (US FDA), routinely screen all imported goods to ensure they meet the domestic limits of tolerance. Detection of low concentrations of pesticides within complex matrices, such as orange juice and wine, is a complex process that requires a high level of sensitivity. This article details how a newly developed “dilute-and-shoot” sample preparation method for LC–MS–MS multi-residue monitoring (MRM) pesticide screening can be performed to overcome matrix effects.
