Development, Optimisation, and Pre-Validation of a Gas Chromatography—Ion Mobility Spectrometry Method with Preliminary Twofold Enrichment for the Sensitive Detection of N–Nitrosamines in Drinking Water

This study aims to develop, optimise, and evaluate a gas chromatography-drift tube-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) based method with a twofold enrichment strategy consisting of solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by in-tube extraction (ITEX) of the eluate for nine different nitrosamines in drinking water in order to offer a sensitive alternative to the current state of the art.

Appropriate Instrumentation for the Chemical Analysis of Cannabis and Derivative Products: Part 1

For the uninitiated, analytical instrumentation can be a confusing mix of abbreviations and hyphenation. In this series of articles, we break down and explain in practical terms what instruments are appropriate for a particular analysis and what to consider when choosing an instrumental technique.

Rapid Screening Analysis of On-Line Purified Residual Pesticides in Crop Extract Using Accurate Mass Information

In this article, an example of comprehensive analysis of residual pesticides in spinach using a Revive In-Line Sample Preparation (ILSP) and the quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer LCMS-9050 is introduced.

Purification of Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Separation Based on the Number of Aromatic Rings Using a Liquid Chromatography Silica Column. An Alternative to Epoxidation

This work presents a new purification approach based on liquid chromatography fractionation on silica using the same column and eluents as for the usual MOSH/MOAH fractionation.

Area-Selective Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO on Si\SiO2 Modified with Tris(dimethylamino)methylsilane

Delayed atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ZnO, i.e., area selective (AS)-ALD, was successfully achieved on silicon wafers (Si\SiO2) terminated with tris(dimethylamino)methylsilane (TDMAMS). This resist molecule was deposited in a home-built, near-atmospheric pressure, flow-through, gas-phase reactor.
