Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term “hyphenated” refers to separation and identification, and hyphenated techniques provide a better analysis in terms of their components’ specificity, accuracy, and precision.
Hyphenated Separation Approaches combine or couple different analytical techniques, and are considered to be important tools in several fields of pure and applied science. Indeed, integrated separation and detection techniques are used in a range of fields of science, such as environmental, food, pharmaceutical, biological, medical, and industrial science. For these reasons, hyphenated techniques have attracted the interest of the scientific community and the number of research papers based on results obtained by using Hyphenated Separation has increased considerably in the last few years.
For example, hyphenated techniques such as HPLC coupled to UV and Mass Spectrometry (LC-UV-MS) have been extremely useful. At present, various types of analytical tools that incorporate different types of interfaces are available commercially.
The goal of this Special Issue is to describe the role that Hyphenated Separation Approaches play in a number of fields in order to highlight improvements in, e.g., quality assurance.
