Comprehensive Separations of Complex Mixtures by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to announce the next Separations Special Issue entitled “Comprehensive Separations of Complex Mixtures by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry”, which will compile the state-of-the-art of the methods developed in this area.

The current trends in analytical chemistry are focused on the search for comprehensive, sensitive, robust, simple, and fast methodologies that allow the simultaneous determination of a huge number of compounds at low levels of concentration with the maximun reliability possible and also complying with the requirements of sustainability proposed by green chemistry. In this sense, conventional gas chromatography, two-dimensional gas chromatography and, more recently, very and ultra-fast gas chromatography coupled to different types of mass spectrometry analysers are excellent tools to accomplish this goal in different fields.

The aim of this publication is to present the most recent applications of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry in the analysis and evaluation of different complex samples, as well as provide a wide and accurate overview of recent advances and future trends related to this topic.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
