This interview explores how high school students learn separation science through filtration, gravimetric analysis, and chromatography, building the foundations for future chemistry studies.

Explore alternatives to traditional ducted fume hoods, including glove boxes, snorkel systems, ductless hoods, and specialized containment solutions for safer, energy-efficient laboratories.

Proper drying of the SPE sorbent is a critical step to achieve high sensitivity, good reproducibility, and maximum analyte recovery, especially for complex sample matrices.

How can you extend GC column lifetime and prevent contamination? Part 2 focuses on using liners with glass wool and proper column bake-out to maintain separation performance.

Dirty samples can quickly damage your GC column and shorten its lifetime. Learn simple, proven ways to protect your column, improve performance, and reduce downtime. Part 1 focuses on smart sample preparation.

An SPE technical tip focused on identifying the sources of interferences and extra peaks observed after sample extraction.

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.

A technical guide to troubleshooting low analyte recovery in SPE. Explains relative vs. absolute recovery and provides practical solutions for conditioning, loading, and sorbent selection.

How can neutral analytes be efficiently concentrated in the presence of ionized acidic or basic contaminants? This SPE tip explains how mixed-mode cartridges improve selectivity and cleanup.
