[Readers Insight] Is "Not Detected" Truly "Not Detected"? (Not An Article about LOD)
When you encounter "Not Detected" in analytical chemistry, does it truly mean the substance is absent? In practice, unscrupulous manufacturers may try to evade detection of prohibited additives by modifying molecular structures to something out of the detection scope. In this article, the author introduces a method using TOF-IDA/MS to effectively expose such modification without the need of reference standards. -
The Critical Role of Chiral Separation and Its Modern Solutions
