Featured Article Onshoring Your Insourced Solutions? Incognito debates the pros and cons of onshore support. /Read more/ advertisment A Low Solvent Extraction and Clean Up for POPs analysis A newly developed automated sample extraction and cleanup system, the Total Rapid EconoPrep®, allows for fastest sample extraction, cleanup, and concentration for the analysis of dioxins, PCBs, and PDBEs (2 h). Solvent consumption is limited to 150–200 mL and no dichloromethane is used during the cleanup step. The application note discusses sample turnaround times of only a few hours providing excellent results and same-day analysis. Learn more LCGC TV Collaborating with Industry and New Research on Endocrine Disrupters Apryll Stalcup from the Irish Separation Science Cluster, and an organizer of ISC 2016 in Cork this year, discusses her reasons for collaborating with industry and why it can feel a little like dating. She also talks about her latest research on endocrine disrupters in biological fluids. /More/ advertisment A reliable inert flow path (IFP) can ensure higher sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility in your GC analyses. Agilent extends those benefits further with new Agilent DB-WAX Ultra Inert columns – offering greater inertness for a broad range of challenging polar compounds, resulting in more accurate identification and low-level quantification compared to other column brands.

Featured Articles Development of a Rapid MS-Based Screen of Tricyclic Antidepressants as an Alternative to Immunoassay Screening This direct-analysis MS method is more accurate than immunoassay screening and requires no special instrumentation. /Read more/ The Current and Future State of Top-Down Protein Sequencing by ESI-Tandem Mass Spectrometry In this column, we introduce the basics of today's approaches for doing intact protein dissociation with mass spectrometry (MS) or top-down sequencing (that is, rather than the more conventional peptide-based “bottom-up” sequencing where future improvements might occur, advantages and limitations of using top-down sequencing, possible applications, and why it has become such an important and pursued research area for many. /Read more/ Featured Interview Innovating Microfluidic Technologies The future of biological and clinical research will depend on technological innovations and cross discipline co-operation as science seeks a deeper understanding of increasingly complex biological systems. The 2016 recipient of the AES Mid-Career Award, Amy Herr, and her team at the University of California, Berkeley have explored these areas using a combination of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering with strong foundations in biology, material science, and analytical chemistry to innovate new microfluidic analytical technology. She recently spoke to LCGC about this work. /Read more/ Featured News The University of Manchester Opens Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre The University of Manchester unveiled the Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre at the beginning of June 2016. The research center will focus on biomedical research on major diseases, including cancer, psoriasis, and arthritis, using mass spectrometry (MS)–based proteomics solutions from Sciex. /Read more/ advertisment Two techniques, one instrument Introducing PLC Purification Systems by Gilson.
