Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications in Separation Techniques: Recent Trends and Developments
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The analysis of pharmaceuticals, drugs and their metabolites, and biomolecules (proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, etc.) from different matrices (plasma, serum, oral fluid, urine, etc.) is of great interest to academia and industry. The development of new and green extraction methodologies and validated analytical methods of separation and analysis is therefore of the utmost importance.
Chromatographic techniques such as liquid and gas chromatography are the most frequently used analytical techniques. In addition to these, miniaturized techniques such as capillary electrophoresis, nano-liquid chromatography, and lab-on-a-chip devices are also of great interest; hyphenated detection techniques improve the state of the art of conventional analytical instrumentation. Furthermore, with the further evolution of the classical techniques, instrumental methodologies such as ultra-performance liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, capillary electrochromatography, and 2D and 3D systems have seen significant enhancement.
This topic aims to put together original research papers and review articles that demonstrate the recent advances in separation techniques, including all aspects of extraction methodologies, method development, analytical method validation, and application to the various matrices. We therefore encourage authors to submit analyses of chiral and achiral pharmaceuticals, drugs, impurities from pharmaceutical dosage forms, newly developed drug delivery systems, biological media (therapeutic drug monitoring, etc.), environmental samples, targeted and untargeted omics (metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, etc.), and substances of abuse.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
