LCGC reviews some of the highlights and award recipients from this year's ASMS conference, held May 23-27, 2010, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Agilent Technologies and Stemina Biomarker Discovery have announced that Agilent will be providing a liquid chromatography system and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer to accelerate Stemina's metobolomic research.

A rapid gradient HPLC method for simultaneous determination of 16 PAH according to EPA 610 method is presented. A baseline resolution for all 16 target analytes in less than 2.50 minutes could be achieved by using a KNAUER BlueOrchid PAH 50 x 2 mm column.

Ten miles off the Californian coastline, at the bottom of the Santa Barbara channel, domes rise from the Pacific Ocean floor. A paper published on-line in the journal Nature Geoscience identified these as a series of unusual underwater volcanoes.

The Application Notebook

In ion chromatography, the presence of a large amount of matrix ions makes quantification of the target ions difficult. Selective removal of matrix ions - matrix elimination - can be performed by treating a sample with a solid-phase extractant. Halides can be removed by precipitation with silver, which is present as a counterion in a cation-exchange resin. A subsequent treatment with a cation-trapping column removes residual dissolved silver ions.

The Application Notebook

LCGC is planning to publish the next issue of The Application Notebook special supplement in September. The publication will include vendor application notes that describe techniques and applications of all forms of chromatography and capillary electrophoresis that are of immediate interest to users in industry, academia, and government. If your company is interested in participating in these special supplements, contact:

The Application Notebook

Traditionally, summer is a time when the worlds of lab research and business slow down to a large extent. If you work in academia, chances are many of your students have returned home for the summer and the teaching load has been reduce, while those of you working in private industry and research labs may see coworkers taking long-anticipated (and well-deserved) vacations.

Glycan Database

The Column

Ireland?s National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) and Waters have announced a collaboration that will create the first database for glycan analysis by UPLC.
