Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) can already be called a mature hyphenated analytical technique which has rapidly gained importance over the last thirty years for the analysis of complex, among others, fossil samples. Because of its two-dimensional configuration, a significantly increased chromatographic separation and detectability are achieved, as well as roof-tile structured 2D chromatograms that remarkably improve chemical-class separation and interpretation. Excellent compatibility with detection techniques such as mass spectrometry, flame ionization detection, and many others, has made it a first choice when detailed characterization of fossils is concerned.
The present Special Issue, “Analysis of Complex Fossil Using Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography (GC×GC)”, aims to bring together some of the latest contributions in the field of detailed analysis of complex fossil using GC×GC. Attention is devoted to the most recent developments in modulation, column selection, detectors, software, and data processing of the technique.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
