Application of Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic “Application of Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques, 2nd Edition”, presents new methods or techniques for detecting and quantifying various xenobiotics in different matrices. Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that allows the precise measurement of an ion's mass to electric charge ratio, where with a known charge of the ion, it is possible to calculate the mass with the accuracy of single atoms. The combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for determining different compounds or their groups in biological samples, pharmacokinetic studies, and identifying and monitoring contaminants in food or environmental matrices. Additionally, it is an important tool not only in the detection and determination of parent compounds but also in their metabolites. The MDPI open access journals Analytica, Foods, Molecules, Sensors, and Separations are combining to produce a special topic edition on "Application of Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques, 2nd Edition". All forms of chromatography will be covered, including simple column LC, GC, HPLC, IC, TLC, SEC Capillary Electrochromatography, and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography. It should be made clear that all forms of Combined Technologies are included, e.g., ICP-MS, MS-MS, LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, LC-NMR, 2D LC, 2D GC, and GC-MS.
