Chromatographic
response functions in 1D and 2D chromatography as tools for assessing
chemical complexity Review Article
Available online 8 February 2013 João T.V. Matos, Regina M.B.O. Duarte, Armando C. Duarte
Highlights
► A new
way of classifying chromatographic response functions (CRFs) is discussed. ►
CRFs are classified according to the origin and the representativeness of the
sample. ► CRFs are classified according to the aim of the analysis – target
and non-target. ► Critical evaluation of the different functions in 1D and 2D
chromatography. |

Recent
development in analysis of persistent organic pollutants under the Stockholm
Convention Review Article
Available online 4 February 2013 Hubert Po-on Tang
Highlights
► 22
persistent organic pollutants are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. ►
Sample preparation, analyte separation and detection in accurate measurement
