We kick off a new article series that offers an insider’s view of the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on the role of separation science and separation scientists.

This instalment reviews new HPLC and MS systems, modules, CDS, and other related software, and summarizes their significant features and user benefits.

Our annual review of new high performance liquid chromatography instruments, mass spectrometry systems, and data processing software.

Michael Dong (唐纬中) looks back on his life as a China-born separation scientist coming to America as an international student, and his successful career in research and industry.

With a new free simulator, educators and students can perform virtual HPLC experiments under isocratic or gradient conditions applicable to real instrumentation and method development.

The “practical HPLC simulator” is a freeware program that uses actual separation data to demonstrate the chromatographic principles under isocratic or gradient conditions and the impacts of instrumental, column, and mobile phase parameters on method performance.
