In this Tuesday morning symposium, speakers will present novel analytical strategies focused mainly on real-time, in vivo, and in situ tissue analysis.

On Wednesday, January 17, Tiffany Liden, a graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington, will present a talk titled, “Characterization of Produced Water and Current Treatment Options.” The presentation will take place at 10:30 am in Room 381B.

After 34 years, LCGC prepares to say goodbye to John Dolan with this special supplement.

For this 35th anniversary issue of LCGC North America, we asked leading separation scientists what they foresee for the future. Their essays are insightful and thought provoking.

Eric Nelson discusses methods for analyzing halogenated transformation products of pharmaceuticals and other contaminants.

This afternoon, the winners of the LCGC Awards will be honored in an oral symposium at Pittcon. Pat Sandra of the Research Institute for Chromatography will receive the 2017 LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award at 1:30, and Deirdre Cabooter of the University of Leuven will receive the 2017 LCGC Emerging Leader Award at 3:40 pm, just after the break.

John Dolan’s final LCGC column will appear in October. We are sad to see him go! Fortunately, we have just the person to follow in his footsteps: Dwight Stoll.

In recent years, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) methods have been increasingly adopted as a replacement for ligand‑binding assays to monitor the fate of drugs in vivo. Such bioanalysis of protein-based pharmaceuticals (biopharmaceuticals) is more challenging, however, than it is for small-molecule drugs. Rainer Bischoff of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has been exploring approaches to overcome these challenges. He recently spoke to us about this work.

The Tuesday afternoon session on gas chromatography (GC) applications includes three talks from instrument vendors.

This afternoon, the winners of the LCGC Awards will be honored in an oral symposium at Pittcon. Milton L. Lee of Brigham Young University will receive the 2016 LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award at 1:30, and Debby Mangelings of the Free University of Brussels (Vrie Universiteit Brussel), will receive the 2016 LCGC Emerging Leader Award at 3:45 pm, just after the break. The symposium will be held in room B314.

At the heart of liquid chromatography lies a column. Because of the importance of the column, we have dedicated a regular place to it in LCGC magazine: “Column Watch.” And what has made “Column Watch” so informative over the years is that it has captured the insights of an insider-someone who really understood the workings of the column and its role in separations: Ron Majors.

Throughout his career, Ron Majors always had his finger on the pulse of the latest chromatography developments, and he kept readers in the know too.

On Monday 2 February the New York State Attorney General’s office sent letters to four major retailers accusing them of selling fraudulent herbal supplements and demanding that they remove the products from their shelves. To the surprise of many analytical chemists, however, the accusations were based on DNA barcoding technology rather than chromatographic analysis.

For the first time this year, the winners of the LCGC Awards will be honored in an oral symposium at Pittcon. Jack Kirkland of Advanced Materials Technology will receive the 2015 LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award at 1:30, and Caroline West, of the University of Orléans, will receive the 2015 LCGC Emerging Leader Award at 3:40 pm, just after the break.

In response to recent accusations levied by the New York State Attorney General’s office that herbal supplements sold by four major retailers contained little or no primary ingredient, the supplements industry is planning further testing of the affected products.

A tribute to John Dolan, who is celebrating 30 years of writing the "LC Troubleshooting" column.

Recently LCGC asked a panel of experts (listed in the sidebar) to assess the current state of the art of gas chromatography (GC) instrumentation and methods and to try to predict how the technology will develop in the future.

For more than 40 years, he has been a master communicator. That's just one reason he has so many fans, and friends, around the world.

A panel of experts give their opinions about the current trends in gas chromatography (GC) instrumentation and how the technology could develop in the future.

A panel of experts give their opinions about the current trends in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrumentation and how the technology could develop in the future.

In honor of LCGC's celebration of 30 years covering the latest developments in separation science, we asked a panel of experts (listed in the sidebar) to assess the current state of the art of liquid chromatography (LC) column technology, and to try to predict how the technology will develop in the future. This article is part of a special group of articles covering the state of the art in sample preparation, gas chromatography (GC) columns, GC instrumentation, LC columns, and LC instrumentation.

Milestone events, like LCGC's celebration of 30 years of covering separation science, always prompt reflection on the past and consideration of what the future might hold. Thus, for this 30th anniversary issue, we turned to the experts in five key areas of our coverage: sample preparation, gas chromatography (GC) columns, GC instrumentation, liquid chromatography (LC) columns, and LC instrumentation. Now, in the special group of five articles in this issue, we bring you their perspectives on the state of the art: what the most important recent advances have been, where things stand today, and where the field is likely to go next.

The results are in for 2012 LCGC Awards, and we are proud to announce the winners: the Lifetime Achievement in Chromatography Award is granted to Lloyd Snyder, and the Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award is presented to Emily Hilder. In achieving this honor, they join a group of illustrious past winners (Tables I and II).
