Women in Separations

Beyond any doubt, separation techniques play a dominant role in all scientific and routine analysis laboratories. Among them, the use of instrumental chromatographic techniques enables fast and reproductive analytical results to be obtained. Chromatographic techniques are widely used for the elucidation of components in various fields, such as in food analysis, biological studies, pharmaceutical analysis, forensics, toxicology, environmental analysis, archaeology, etc. Separation mechanisms are militarized to cover all analytical requirements. In parallel with the outstanding role of separation techniques in a variety of scientific fields, we would particularly like to highlight the impact of female researchers in the field of chromatographic separations in this Special Issue, to serve as motivation for females pursuing a STEM career.

Hence, we would like to invite well-established scientists to share the results of their research with the scientific community, through this Special Issue, with the aim to compile manuscripts written or lead by women.
