LCGC TV: Giorgia Greco on Reversed-Phase LC Coupled to HILIC
HILIC was introduced more than 50 years ago but has attracted more attention recently. Giorgia Greco from the Technische Universität Munchen in Germany discusses the different options available for combining HILIC to reversed-phase LC, and how HILIC can be hyphenated with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization MS.
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.

Useful Tips for GC-MS
There are many aspects of analytical science which abound with myth and legend – but gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, and more specifically the electron ionization process, stands out as the technique which has given rise to the largest number of urban myths and misunderstandings.
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.

Listen to the Data
One of the most frequent times that we discover a problem with a liquid chromatography (LC) method is when we examine a data set following the analysis of a batch of samples. This installation of “LC Troubleshooting" looks at some data submitted by a reader who suspected that something wasn't right with the results.

Modern Supercritical Fluid Chromatography — Possibilities and Pittfalls
There has been a revival of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) in recent years, especially in the chiral preparative field, but also more recently in the analytical area.
Featured Application Note
Analysis of Caffeine in Energy Drinks with TLC–MS
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is characterized by high matrix tolerance and sample capacity enabling time- and cost-effective method development. This application note demonstrates the quantification and identification of caffeine in energy drinks without sample preparation by elution-based coupling of TLC with MS. Download the app note.
