Last time, we looked at the practice of 'measuring' in analytical chemistry. We explained how chemists determine the amount of a substance and evaluate the reliability of those numerical values ...

The solvent dichloromethane, or DCM, is commonly used to strip paint and cut grease. It's also what generations of chemistry students have used to dissolve pain reliever tablets in a lab exercise ...

Liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) encompasses a suite of miniaturised solvent-based approaches designed to isolate and pre-concentrate analytes from complex matrices prior to instrumental analysis.

Oregon State University scientists have patented a better and more eco-friendly process for separating two metals that are ...

Organic material in the Murchison and Aguas Zarcas meteorites preserves molecular records of early solar system chemistry and ...

Green solvents have emerged as a pillar of sustainable chemistry, offering alternatives to traditional volatile organic compounds that pose environmental and health risks. These solvents are ...
