Chromatography techniques like gas chromatography and liquid chromatography continue to evolve with improvements in materials, miniaturization, and data analysis software. While life sciences drive markets for GC and HPLC, their use is growing in other fields like biofuels production where quality control of raw materials and products is important. Liquid chromatography remains useful for analyzing large charged molecules, and researchers are finding it more sensitive. Sample preparation is a key factor in chromatographic analysis as it influences accuracy, and techniques like headspace analysis are increasingly used when measuring low concentrations of volatile organic compounds.

2. chromatography continues to evolve towards greater
capability, versatility, and usability as instrument
designers draw on innovations in materials, miniaturization,
and computers/software.
While the life sciences continue to drive markets for gas
chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC), applications outside of healthcare
and biology are growing briskly.

3. Biofuels represent an up-and-coming
market for GC and LC, where engineers
need to control raw material and product
quality for fats (biodiesel) and ethanol.

4. Large charged molecules remain
the domain of LC, but investigators turn
to it for greater sensitivity as well.

5. Environmentalism and forensics have upped the
ante for sample preparation, which is the greatest
source of error in chromatographic analysis.
For volatileorganics, even at very low
concentrations, users are turning to headspace
sample prep, which exploits the vapor pressure of a
soluble organic molecule above the sample volume.
