Dear Colleagues,

Capillary liquid chromatographic techniques continue to attract attention in the analytical chemistry society. The fast development of ultrahigh pressure capillary liquid chromatography has aided in increasing the popularity of the methodology. The very high separation power for highly complex samples has resulted in new applications in all fields of science. The use of very high pressures and capillaries in combination with novel stationary phases and phase supports have resulted in much research in the field since the introduction of ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography in 1997. Instrumental developments in column technology have resulted in decreased contributions of band broadening, but there are still many challenges considering the commercial instruments.

The aim of this special issue is to present the state of art in capillary liquid chromatography techniques. Novel methodologies and stationary phases will be introduced for a vast number of various types of matrixes and samples. Focus will be on the use of capillary liquid chromatography in lipidomics and metabolomics, but as well in other fields of science.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
