As The Analytical scientist launches into 2019, we asked a panel of scientists from our Top Under 40 Power List to take a moment to reflect on the best research papers of last year, in our Landmark Literature feature. Also in this issue, we have the case for International Chromatography Day, better simulations to predict retention times by Paul Haddad, how to use music in teaching, Raman wizard Ian Lewis, microplastics, polar bears and a Pittcon preview. Enjoy! Click here to download the complete issue .
Restek provides a web program, called “ProEZGC”, that allows anyone to simulate separations and change all the GC parameters on-line and experience how separations are impacted. This article describes this program, a free tool that anyone can use, based on calculating retention times based on real measurements. Jaap de Zeeuw explains.
Many of Chromedia's team members show up in the top 100 of analytical scientists in
'The Analytical Scientist'.
Spectroscopist have expressed their wish to become embedded into The Analytical Scientist. This way spectroscopy topics will be read outside their community; furthermore it will shed light on spectroscopy for other analytical scientists. Anyway, analytical scientists everywhere in the world have to look outside their specialism since to solve an analytical problem if takes more than one technique. So we embedded The Spectroscopist Inside, it will have a frequency of 6 times per year. This month features the SciX Conference, where the program chairs bring their highlights in current developments in spectroscopy.

After ten years of continuously expanding Chromedia, we decided - after ample user tests - to say good bye to Topic Circle navigation and welcome Topic Lines. Each Topic Line will open up subtopics and articles. Now you can navigate through all of Chromedia's content - including our growing number of videos - on your computer, tablet or mobile.
We are confident you will like our new format and welcome your questions or comments.
