LCGC TV: Kevin Schug on Estrogen Analysis Using 2D LC–MS–MS
Estrogen can have a big effect on physiological processes in the human body, even when present at trace levels. In this video, Kevin Schug from the University of Texas at Arlington, USA, talks about the advantages of using restricted-access media for the on-line sample preparation of biofluids in a "trap-and-elute" LC–MS arrangement, and the potential of this approach for other applications.
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.

Quality Control of Dietary Supplements - Chromatographic Approaches for CGMP Compliance
The dietary supplement industry has grown to become a multibillion-dollar-a-year market. Concurrent with this growth, the FDA has implemented new current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) regulations (21 CFR part 111) that mandate appropriate quality control and process control testing for dietary supplements, from incoming materials to finished goods.

From the Archives: The Top 10 HPLC and UHPLC Column Myths
This installment of "Column Watch" looked at the top 10 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column myths and attempted to demystify them by presenting some evidence that they are untrue. Since ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) has come about, new myths have popped up and these were also examined.
