The use of NCW as the mobile phase in liquid chromatography was recently reviewed. In this area, in addition to its green credentials, NCW is compatible with a range of detection methods flame ionization detection, mass spectrometry (MS) and UV (to short wavelengths). The reason for the recent growth in this area is the development of more thermally stable stationary phases. It has been used to analyse a growing number of analytes (alkylbenzenes, phenols, ketones, carboxylic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates and some pharmaceuticals). For example, carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides and sugar
