Analytical and Bioanalytical Techniques

Hyphenated Techniques

The hyphenation strategy alludes to a hybrid of at least two methods for isolating and detecting synthetics from their arrangement. The other method is often some form of chromatography. The hyphen method is commonly used in science and organic chemistry. Slices are sometimes used instead of hyphens. Especially if the name of one of the techniques itself contains a hyphen. Examples of hyphenated methods:

• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
• Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)
• Liquid Chromatography-Infrared Spectroscopy (LC-IR)
• Chromatography Diode Cluster Detection (LC-DAD)
• Capillary Electrophoresis Mass Spectrometry (CE-MS)
• Capillary Electrophoresis Bright Apparent Spectroscopy (CE-UV)
• Ion Transport Analysis – Mass Analysis
