Polystyrene microplastics have emerged as a global environmental concern due to their widespread distribution and potential risks to ecosystems and human health. Accurate quantification of…

Outcomes from the COSMOS trial have reinforced the notion of flavanols as important plant-derived bioactives contributing to cardiovascular health. As discussions continue on whether specific dietary ...

Researchers uncover contamination pathway that's complicating efforts to understand how much plastic is in the air

This work developed a novel analytical method to detect short- and ultra-short chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in freshwater samples by direct injection using ion chromatography mass spe...

The bulk of textile waste is still landfilled or incinerated, despite its components being potentially recyclable. Textile waste, however, requires prior characterisation to produce homogenous feedsto...

To attenuate microplastics pollution, we first must quantify the number and types of microplastics found in the natural environment and identify their sources. Quantifying environmental microplastics ...

Nitrile and latex gloves that scientists wear while they are measuring microplastics may lead to a potential overestimation of the tiny pollutants, according to a University of Michigan study.

Sugars or saccharides exist as structural and stereo- isomers and can be difficult to analyse, due to insufficient analyte separation. By coupling chromatography with mass spectrometry, the reliabilit...

Methods, 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5AY01988E, CommunicationGui Ying Kang, Wei Cheng, Jin Li, Dahua Zhang, Yufeng Liu The high-temperature detergency of alkyl salicylates (ASs) as lubricant detergents is influenced by their composition and molecular structure. Analysis via normal-phase liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) reveals... The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry

Binding affinity is a critical parameter that can influence the state of the drug in vivo and help to define the formulation strategy. The current study implements a multimodal approach to analyse the...
