Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In chemistry, the processes of sample extraction and chromatographic analysis are crucial for isolating and purifying chemical substances from complex mixtures. These techniques are extensively employed in various sectors, such as pharmaceutical production, biotechnology, environmental evaluations, and food science research. Extraction is the process of selectively removing certain components from a mixture by using a suitable solvent system and chromatography operates by separating the elements of a mixture based on their distinct physical and chemical properties.
This Special Issue follows a previous successful Special Issue, concentrating on cutting-edge technologies and applications in chromatography and extraction methods for chemical analysis. It includes both original research papers and review articles exploring the development, implementation, and refinement of chromatographic and extraction techniques across various chemical applications. The Special Issue covers advancements in chromatography and extraction theory, equipment, sample preparation, and data interpretation, as well as their use in food, medicinal, and environmental analyses. Furthermore, it welcomes contributions on novel approaches to method development and validation, innovative strategies for detecting trace contaminants, and other relevant topics in the field. This compilation serves as an essential resource for readers seeking to further the progress of chromatography and extraction techniques in chemical applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
