A preview of HTC-15, which will be held at Cardiff City Hall, Cardiff, United Kingdom, from 24–26 January 2018.
The 15th International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography and Separation Technology (HTC-15) will be held at Cardiff City Hall, Cardiff, United Kingdom, from 24–26 January 2018. This is the second time the Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography (HTC) conference has been held in the UK and the event is set to be a premier UK event for separation scientists in 2018, attracting national and internationally renowned scientists, with delegates from 15 different countries registered so far. The meeting is organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry Separation Science Group (RSC SSG) with the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV). Full meeting details can be found at www.htc-conference.co.uk.
The programme will include topics such as Big Data, Fundamentals and Exploiting Separation Science, (R)evolutions in Biopharmaceutical Analysis, Food and Drink, Environmental, Comprehensive Chromatography, and much more. The conference will include five plenary lectures, 16 keynote lectures, eight tutorial lectures, 48 oral presentations, and 24 early career researcher (ECR) presentations, as well as daily poster sessions.
The plenary lectures will be given by Rob Beynon (University of Liverpool, UK), Tuulia Hyötyläinen (Örebro University, Sweden), Eric Little (Othus Inc), Peter Schoenmakers (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and the recently announced Knox Medal winner, Peter Myers (University of Liverpool, UK). An up-to-date speaker list can be viewed at www.htc-conference.co.uk. The oral programme is complete, with over 40% of presentations from abstract submissions. The full programme is now online and includes a dedicated ECR programme as one of the three parallel sessions.
Conference registration is open at www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/registration/. Alongside the core scientific programme, the symposium is hosting an attractive technical exhibition where leading companies active in the field will present their latest developments in instrumentation, software, and applications related to the hyphenation of separation, detection, and sample preparation techniques topped with technical seminars. Nineteen companies have already signed up so if your company is interested in exhibiting at HTC-15 please follow www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/floorplan-booking/ to secure a place.
Cardiff is the closest capital city to London and Cardiff Airport is only a 20 minute journey, easily accessible by car or shuttle. Bristol International Airport is also only one hour away with fights from 112 different countries. Delegates travelling via London should remember to book your onwards journey to the event in advance. The organizers have secured an exclusive deal with Great Western Railway (GWR). This offers reduced rates for delegates travelling at any time to Cardiff Central Station from all main GWR stations, including London Paddington, as well as many connecting routes to Great Western Railway from the Home Counties. For more details visit www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/location-direction/.
The conference will be preceded by two short courses on 23 January 2018, Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: From Theory to (Industrial) Application, www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/sfc-shortcourse/ and Introduction to Biopharmaceutical Analysis, www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/biopharma-shortcourse/.
The organizing committee look forward to welcoming you to HTC-15 in the historic city of Cardiff and to City Hall.

Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
