The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation
science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications.
Analytical techniques
which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based
methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles
reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published,
including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant
element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly
improved analytical performance. Areas to be considered include: •the qualitative and quantitative analysis of biopolymers including
proteins, peptides and their post-translational modifications as well as nucleic acids and glycans •the comparative analysis of
biological systems using proteomics, genomics, metabonomics and other "omics" approaches
•clinical analysis, pharmacokinetics,
metabolism, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicological analysis, doping analysis, veterinary applications, analysis of environmental
contaminants in biological systems
•the screening and profiling of body fluids, tissues, cells, biological matrices and systems,
analysis of endogenous compounds, biomarkers
•identification of new bioactive compounds
Applications which utilize
published or commercial analytical or preparative protocols with little or no modification or where the results of the application rather
than the analytical methodology comprise the major element of novelty of the manuscript should be directed to more specialized journals.
Modifications to a previously published method may be considered for a short communication in cases where the improvement in performance
is significant. Reports of analytical methods for compounds in early pharmaceutical development often lack general interest and will
not be published unless the authors can demonstrate the broader significance of the methodology involved. Quality control analyses of
bulk drugs, natural products or pharmaceutical formulations are not within scope.
