May 2017
Welcome to our May issue! In Upfront, we show how differential mobility could speed up drug discovery, how extracellular vesicles could improve breast cancer diagnosis, and tell you more about the next two months’ analytical science conferences. Enrico Davoli explores the space dimension in our cover feature, while gurus old and new ask: are we still pushing the limits of liquid chromatography? We introduce two student-proof instruments for training tomorrow’s scientists, and Sit Down With GCxGC “game changer”, Tadeusz Górecki.

Speccing Up Education
May 16, 2017
There’s nothing quite like students to push even the most rugged instrument to breaking point. But regardless of their talent for destruction, the next generation of scientists need to learn how to use their instrumentation effectively if they are to avoid becoming “button pushers” in the future. Here we introduce two low-cost – and hardy - solutions: one, an easy-to-assemble spectrophotometer that is helping students look “beyond the box”; the other, a compact instrument that aims to democratize Raman spectroscopy.

From Research to Routine
May 16, 2017
The needs of the pharma industry are always evolving – and analytical techniques must advance to remain relevant or adapt to fulfill new demands. Here, I describe how mass data is marching from R&D into more routine use: the search for genotoxic impurities.

LC on the Edge
May 16, 2017
In 2015, we posed a provocative question: have we reached the limits of liquid chromatography? Our experts returned a resounding, “no!” Two years on – and timed to coincide with HPLC 2017 in Prague – we reach out to gurus old and new to ask: are we still pushing the limits?
