LCGC TV: Christian Wachsmuth on Metabolic Fingerprinting
Using GC–MS

In this new video from LCGC TV, Christian Wachsmuth from the University of Regensburg in Germany, discusses how the field of metabolic fingerprinting has developed over time, and talks about why gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is the ideal method for metabolic fingerprinting.

Electrophoretic and Microfluidic Separation Approaches for DNA Analysis
DNA can be analyzed by many techniques, including electrophoretic techniques such as gel, capillary, and microchip electrophoresis. In this interview Kevin Dorfman, an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, discusses his research with polymer physics and microfluidic and nanofluidic technologies.
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.

Large-Volume Injection LC–MS-MS Methods for Aqueous Samples and Organic Extracts
Environmental sample analysis by large-volume injection (LVI) in combination with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS-MS) is described for polar and nonpolar analytes in both aqueous samples and organic extracts. LVI is the direct introduction of large sample volumes (for example, 900–1800 μL) into the LC system for separation and subsequent detection. The practical benefits of LVI include faster sample preparation times, lower detection limits, and minimal waste generation.
