A Year in Chromatography: Highlights and Insights
One year ago, we launched our Chromatography Newsletter with the ambition of sharing valuable knowledge, industry trends, and practical solutions for chromatography professionals.
Since then, we have covered everything from method development and sample preparation to food safety and laboratory effiency. To make it easier to revisit topics of interest, we have gathered all published editions in one place.
Whether you are looking for inspiration, technical insights, or simply want to catch up on an edition you may have missed, this retrospective provides a convenient overview of the past year's chromatography news.
Happy reading!
#1
Topic: The Importance of Sample Filtration
A deep dive into the importance of sample filtration — a key step in achieving accurate and reliable results. Proper sample preparation, particularly filtration, ensures the longevity of your chromatography columns and enhances analytical precision by removing particulates that can clog systems or interfere with results.
#2
Topic: Unlocking Better Separations: Diversify Your LC Columns in Method Development
A closer look at a common pitfall when it comes to method development – sticking to the familiar. In the world of chromatography, method development often falls into a familiar rhythm—same column brand, same chemistry—solely out of habit.
#3
Topic: Christmas Edition: Chromatography of Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Other Festive Flavours
Spotlight on Christmas aromas and the complex chemical profiles behind them that chromatography reveals with beautiful precision.
#4
Topic: New Year Edition: Accurate Alcohol Testing in Blood & Urine – The Role of Sample Preparation
Focus on reliable determination of ethanol (and sometimes methanol or other congeners) in blood and urine that is essential for traffic safety, workplace testing, postmortem investigations, and emergency toxicology.
#5
Topic: Optimizing GC Performance Starts with the Right Inlet Liner
A closer look at one of the most underrated — yet absolutely critical — parts of any gas chromatography system: the inlet liner.
#6
Topic: Chromatography Easter Special – Food Safety Focus
Sample cleanup and analysis of Easter-related foods like eggs, chicken, and lamb. We look at current challenges such as pesticides, antibiotics, and other contaminants – and how our QuEChERS products from Teknokroma can help laboratories achieve precise results.
#7
Topic: Gas Supply in Chromatography: Why More Labs Are Switching to On-Demand Generation
Exploring the impact of gas quality and how it directly impacts instrument uptime, method stability, and operational efficiency, as well as the challenges that come with compressed gas cylinders.
#8
Topic: Chromatography in the Summer Lab
During summer, laboratories are often busy with seasonal samples and reduced staffing due to vacations. We look at how to maintain high efficiency and result quality during the busy summer period.
Thank You for Following Our Journey
