Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of life science, environmental science, food safety, pharmacy, and synthetic chemistry, the efficient and rapid separation and analysis technology has attracted increasing attention.
This Special Issue brings together a diverse collection of original research articles and reviews that explore the latest advances in separation and analytical methodologies. The articles cover the development of various separation media, separation technologies, and the analytical methods of a wide range of sample types, including environmental, biological, pharmaceutical, and food samples.
The featured articles delve into various separation media and separation techniques, such as chromatographic stationary phase, solid-phase (micro)extraction, liquid-phase microextraction, dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction, and accelerated solvent extraction, among others. Furthermore, the application of these separation techniques in tandem with modern analytical instruments, including mass spectrometers and spectroscopy systems, has revolutionized the field of sample preparation and separation.
We hope that this issue serves as an insightful resource, inspiring further advancements in chromatographic separation and sample preparation methodologies and fostering new ideas for analytical research.

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.
