In this fifth webinar of the Year of Education, Professor Mario Thevis presents on the fundamentals of sports drug testing. A selection of compounds, new challenges, and methods currently employed in doping control laboratories are presented to the audience including, for example: new anabolic agents referred to as selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs); insulins; so-called "releasing peptides" that stimulate the endogenous production of natural hormones; and ways of manipulating drug tests.

Free Chromedia Video - Multidimensional GC: An Opportunity in Food Analysis

2010-06-01T09:00:00.000-07:00

Food analysis is increasingly requiring more and more details of the sample compounds, better separation, more peaks and better limits of detection.

The summer activity in the Year of Education is a free tutorial prepared by Peter Tranchida and Luigi Mondello of the University of Messina.

In this video, Peter Tranchida speaks about the cutting-edge developments in multi-dimensional GC and its applications in the analysis of foods.

The video is available for free for a limited time on Chromedia as a part of the Year of Education.
