Chromatography—the Ultimate Tool: Analysis and Sample Preparation
Since its introduction by the Russian botanist Mikhail Semyonovich Tsvet, chromatography has been the most powerful analytical tool in Analytical Chemistry. Separation, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis can be achieved by choosing the right conditions. Thus, numerous gas chromatographic, liquid chromatographic, and supercritical fluid chromatographic methods have been developed and applied for most types of samples and most kinds of analytes. Not to mention that older varieties like paper chromatography and thin-layer chromatography were pioneer analytical techniques in many laboratories. Especially when hyphenated to spectrometric techniques, chromatography also allows the identification of separated analytes in a single run. Highly sophisticated equipment can answer all analytical problems very quickly. Chromatographers cooperate with many scientific fields and give their lights to medical doctors, veterinarians, food scientists, biologists, dentists, archaeologists, etc. The choice of two-dimensional approaches can expand the power of chromatographic techniques either in heart-cut or comprehensive modes.
In this webinar, experts in the field will present the state of the art in chromatography as a tool in chemical analysis and green sample preparation.

On Wednesday 17 November 2021, MDPI and the Journal Molecules held their 24th webinar entitled “Chromatography—the Ultimate Tool: Analysis and Sample Preparation” and chaired by both Prof. Dr. Victoria Samanidou and Dr. Natasa Kalogiouri from the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, School of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.
The first speaker to kick off this webinar was Dr. Marcello Locatelli from the G. D’Annunzio University in Italy. He talked about innovative sampling procedures in bioanalytical chemistry. His research activity is devoted to the development and validation of chromatographic methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of biologically active molecules in complex matrices.
Dr. Erwin Rosenberg from the Vienna University of Technology in Austria held the second presentation entitled “Speeding up Chromatographic Analysis by Low Pressure (Vacuum Outlet)-GC/MS. His current fields of interest are the development of sampling and analytical strategies and materials for volatile organic (and notably odorous) compounds in the industrial and environmental context, the development and use of multidimensional chromatographic techniques for environmental and natural substance analysis, and also the analysis of organic materials (binding media, dyestuffs, organic pigments) in cultural heritage materials and works of art.
The last presentation with the title "Talking About Microextraction: Environmental Analysis Made Easy and Green" was held by Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo from the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in the United States. Research work in Dr. Gionfriddo’s lab focuses on the development of advanced analytical separation tools for the analysis of complex biological and environmental matrices, with emphasis on alternative green sample preparation methodologies.
