Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hyphenated separation methods have advanced significantly in the past decade and new solutions and improvements are continuously being developed, enormously expanding the possibilities of analytical science. As the complexity of a sample is frequently much higher than one could have imagined in the past, fully exploiting the potential of separation (chromatography, electrophoresis, etc.) and detection system (mass spectrometry, NMR, etc.) with a multidimensional approach has really unlocked the door to a more efficient investigation and structural elucidation of analytes in different fields, i.e. the study of biological processes, food science, environmental science, biomedical and pharmaceutical science, etc. Particularly, so called hyphenated dimensions, combining several techniques both in separation (multidimensional techniques) and detection (mass spectrometry, NMR, multiple detectors), are currently offering a powerful methodology for all the -omic sciences, in which targeting both the knowns and the unknowns is a fundamental requisite. An efficient management of the enormous amount of data currently extractable by a complex sample is another challenge in this field. Therefore, this special issue will be devoted to new developments, new technological achievements, as well as novel applications of hyphenated methods in separation sciences as key instruments to unravel the complexity.

Submission
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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chromatography is an international peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. For the first couple of issues the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be waived for well-prepared manuscripts. English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.
