Recognition highlights conversations connecting chromatography, mass spectrometry, and sample preparation with the scientists advancing analytical chemistry.
Concentrating on Chromatography has been included in FeedSpot’s "Best Chemistry Podcasts to Listen to in 2026,” earning a place among science podcasts covering research, education, and developments across the chemical sciences.
Hosted by Candice Gokey and David Oliva, General Manager of Organomation, Concentrating on Chromatography brings researchers, industry innovators, and laboratory professionals together for in-depth conversations about separation science. Its inclusion offers listeners searching for the best chemistry podcasts in 2026 a focused option for exploring chromatography, mass spectrometry, and sample preparation through the experiences of working scientists.
Recognition Among Established Chemistry Podcasts
FeedSpot’s 2026 selection includes established programs such as Chemistry for Your Life, Chemistry World Podcast, and Chemical & Engineering News’ Stereo Chemistry. Concentrating on Chromatography joins that broader chemistry conversation with a specialist focus on analytical techniques, practical workflows, and the people developing them.
According to FeedSpot, its ranking considers factors including following, engagement, ratings, reviews, listener counts, freshness, and overall influence within chemistry. The listing recognizes Concentrating on Chromatography for conversations ranging from PFAS detection challenges to AI-assisted liquid chromatography and laboratory sustainability.
Bringing Analytical Chemistry Beyond the Laboratory
At the heart of Concentrating on Chromatography is an interview format that gives scientists room to explain both their research and the decisions behind it. Episodes explore how analytical methods develop, how researchers approach difficult samples, and how emerging technologies connect with real laboratory needs.podcast.
Recent conversations illustrate that breadth:
- PFAS analysis and science communication: Michelle Taylor, Editor-in-Chief of LabCompare, joined Oliva to discuss a two-part documentary series examining per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
- Metabolomics and mass spectrometry: Matthew Lewis of Bruker discussed targeted and untargeted approaches, chemical derivatization, sample conservation, standardization, and strategies for generating data with lasting research value.
- Laboratory sustainability: James Connelly, CEO of My Green Lab, explored the relationship between sustainability, laboratory efficiency, and the scientists driving change.
For chromatographers, analytical chemists, laboratory managers, and researchers, these discussions offer a way to engage with developments beyond an individual method, instrument, or application area. The show’s stated focus combines practical workflows with the wider impact of separation science.
A Platform for the People Behind the Science
Oliva launched Concentrating on Chromatography in 2024 after seeing an opportunity to help research reach audiences beyond conference presentations. The podcast gives scientists a platform to explain their work in a conversational format and make it accessible through channels including YouTube and Spotify.
That mission remains central to the series: connecting technical depth with the personal experiences, research questions, and practical challenges that shape analytical chemistry. Its inclusion in FeedSpot’s 2026 list marks a milestone for a show built around those conversations.
