He describes how labs often receive samples with vague instructions to simply "find out what PFAS are in it," when what's ...
Bryan Vining notes that early PFAS concern centered on eight-carbon compounds like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and ...
Shimadzu expanded its eTOC portfolio with the TOC-1000e S to continuously quantify trace organic contamination in ultrapure ...
Cardinal Health discusses with LCGC International how switching from reversed-phase to hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) can unmask a hidden excipient artifact mistaken for a true ...
LC-MS/MS identified chlortetracycline in 1/29 and doxycycline in 4/29 chicken-based cat kibbles, indicating sporadic antibiotic carryover into finished commercial diets. PFAS were detected in 7/29 ...
Ambient ionization via rapid evaporative ionization MS provided near-real-time lipid fingerprints, complementing hyphenated ...
Sensor gas chromatography (GC) determines whether water chasers change alcohol metabolism. Hangovers can make it harder to safely drive a car or work in jobs that require careful attention, on top of ...
Melissa Dunkle, senior research scientist at Dow Benelux BV, The Netherlands, explores practical aspects of using multidimensional pyrolysis gas chromatography (Pyr-GCxGC) to investigate fluoropolymer ...
Bryan Vining introduces one of the most persistent problems in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) work: background contamination. Because PFAS compounds are so ubiquitous, he notes, measuring ...
Sample preparation takes the spotlight as the panel debates the trade-offs between direct injection and solid-phase extraction (SPE). David Megson recalls trace-level analysis in complex matrices from ...
