Applications of Chromatographic Techniques Interfaced to Advanced Detectors

Dear Colleagues,

Chromatographic techniques are very powerful tools in many scientific areas due to their applicability to compounds with very different physicochemical properties and the possibility of coupling them with several detectors. In addition to the classical detectors employed in routine protocols, hyphenated analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography or liquid chromatography interfaced with low resolution mass spectrometry using a single quadrupole, as well ion trap or triple quadrupole analyzers, are well established and widely used in many applicative fields. Nevertheless, the evolution of these techniques, such as GC or LC coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (especially with time of flight and orbitrap mass analyzers), has tremendously extended the potential of these instruments, giving rise to the possibility of the unambiguous identification and structural elucidation of unknown compounds through accurate-mass full-spectrum data acquisition.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original research papers and review articles focused on recent advances in the application of chromatographic techniques interfaced with advanced detectors.

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.
