LCGC TV: Robert T. Kennedy, Parts 1 & 2: LC–MS in Metabolomics
In this video, Robert T. Kennedy of the University of Michigan discusses the role of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) in the rapid development of metabolomics and the challenge of dealing with all the data. He then goes onto talk about the methods used in a recent study on glucose metabolism to analyze complex metabolic pathways and the challenges of using smaller samples.
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 November 18th to learn more about recent advances in Sample Prep systems and Chemistries.

Untargeted Metabolomics for Marine Pollution Analysis
Raquel Fernandez from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, spoke to The Column about performing an untargeted GC–MS method to monitor polychaetes and assess their potential use in environmental monitoring of oil spills.
PEFTEC International Analytical Conference and Exhibition for Petroleum, Refining, and Environmental Analysis
The PEFTEC International Conference and Exhibition for Petroleum, Refining, and Environmental Analysis will be held on 18–19 November 2015 at the Antwerp Exhibition Centre, Antwerp, Belgium. PEFTEC will gather together scientists, laboratory managers, chemists, and environmental regulators from the chemical, petrochemical, and oil industries to share information, network, and learn about the latest methods, standards, and regulations for the industry.
There’s only one Millex filter
Don’t be fooled by other filters, which may show unpredictable performance. EMD Millipore’s history of membrane technology and device engineering is unmatched. See the difference—request a free sample Millex filter.

Technical Tip: Static Headspace Sampling
Static headspace sampling is typically used for the determination of volatile and semi-volatile analytes in liquids and, more rarely, solid matrices. Application examples include the analysis of alcohols in blood, residual solvents in pharmaceuticals, flavours and taints in food and beverages as well as fragrances in perfumes and detergents.
