What Forensic Labs are Up Against
Analysts in forensic labs work in a challenging landscape, where the targets of analysis keep changing. In two new short video clips, Tom Brettell explains how these challenges play out in terms of their use of GC columns and GC methods. More... |
| Simplified, multi-phosphorylated peptide or glycan isolation |
New ERLIC-WAX chemistry from The Nest Group, Inc., in both column and microSPE formats, addresses multi-phosphorylated peptide and glycan isolation challenges. Desalting with TARGA® C18, UltraMicroSpin™ SPE from 100% water can improve recovery of these polar molecules prior to LCMS. Try one of our  ERLIC WAX & TARGA separation approaches today!

Profiling MDMA Impurities Using HS–SPME
Profiling impurities in MDMA (also known as ecstasy) is essential to forensic science as different profiles can provide clues about the source. Two researchers from Michigan State University (Michigan, USA) investigated the effect of liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS–SPME), and different gas chromatography temperature programmes highlighting the need for standardized procedures.

Are All HPLC C18 Phases the Same?
It’s just a silica support with a C18 bonded on – surely there can’t be much difference between them? Wrong. There are huge differences between standard C18 phases and simply swapping one C18 for another, without accounting for these differences, will produce differences in retention time, resolution, and peak elution order.
