This week we bring you application notes by Agilent Technologies, BaySpec and Metrohm!

Although 100% recovery is expected in SPE, values above 100% are sometimes observed. This article explains the most common causes and provides practical guidance on how to identify and resolve them.

Registration and abstract submission for ISC 2026 are now open. Join the leading chromatography symposium in Prague, submit your abstract, and benefit from early-bird registration until 15 May 2026.

Learn how to efficiently zoom, navigate, and stay oriented in Clarity Chromatography Software using mouse tools, keyboard shortcuts, and the Preview Graph for precise data inspection.

This study uses GC×GC–qMS to characterize volatile organic compounds in commercial poi, revealing clear differences between fresh and aged products and distinct brand-specific profiles.

3 webinars: Clarity software, GC–MS, mass spectrometry detectors, sorptive extraction, specialty GC detectors, trace analysis

Day 3 of MDCW 2026 focused on advanced GC×GC and 2D-LC innovations, from flow-modulated GC×GC-QMS and tensor decomposition to plastic pyrolysis, forensics, bioanalysis, and polymer separations.

Jim Averso explains why syringe filtration is critical for chromatography, how to choose membranes and pore sizes, avoid common mistakes, cut backpressure, and streamline sample prep with prefiltration.

Day 2 of MDCW 2026 highlighted the power of multidimensional chromatography, from plastic recycling and pyrolysis to GC×GC-MS automation, 2D-LC in biopharma, PFAS analysis, and thermal desorption.

Stringent Water Framework Directive requirements drive high analytical sensitivity. EQS limits, GC-MS determination of priority substances, and the critical role of sample preparation in practice.
