Application of Chromatography in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Chromatographic analyses, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-performance liquid chromatography, and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), are powerful and generally applicable for the separation, identification, quantification, and determination of chemical substances in complex mixtures in different samples, including biological fluids. Chromatography can separate and detect a wide range of substances, from ions to compounds, from small molecules to biomolecules, from nonpolar to polar molecules, from non-volatile to volatile substances, and from samples of interest to internal standards used during the analysis of biological samples.

The applications of chromatography have grown explosively in recent decades, due not only to the development of new types of chromatographic techniques including pharmacokinetic (bioavailability) analysis but also to the growing need for characterizing complex mixtures and complex samples. Chromatography has become a powerful tool for qualitative identification and quantitative determination in areas such as biological analysis, pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, food analysis, environmental analysis, clinical sample analysis, and so on.

This Special Issue of Separations entitled “Application of Chromatography in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis” will present the latest research, advancements, and applications. This Special Issue accepts research papers and critical reviews on all aspects of applications of chromatography.

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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
