ACS Co-Programs with Pittcon for Second Year
The Pittsburgh Conference has recently announced the continuation of its partnership with the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry at Pittcon 2008, 1-7 March 2008, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Pittsburgh Conference has recently announced the continuation of its partnership with the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry at Pittcon 2008, 1-7 March 2008, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana. The ACS-DAC is expanding its co-programming in the Pittcon technical program by offering eight invited symposia, six organized contributed sessions, and one poster session at Pittcon 2008.
When asked about the benefits of the partnership, 2008 Program Chair Jane Chan commented, Co-programming with the ACS-Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) is a win-win situation for attendees of both meetings. It allows the Pittcon attendees to have access to an expanded technical program provided by the rich resources of ACS-DAC, and the ACS-DAC attendees to experience the world's largest exposition of analytical instrumentation at Pittcon.The ACS symposium, "The Environmental Impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and the Surrounding Area," will be of special interest to members of the scientific community. Also, we are honored to have Dr. Leroy Hood, who will deliver this year's Plenary Lecture Systems Biology and Systems Medicine, as a participant of the symposium titled "Interdisciplinary Analytical Chemistry".In addition to these two presentations, the other six topics for the 2008 ACS Invited Symposia are:• Advances in Ion Exchange Chromatography
• Crime Scene Investigation Part I
• Crime Scene Investigation Part II
• Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC)
• New Perspectives in Optical Sensing from Ions to Molecules Beyond
• A New Look at Introductory Quantitative Analysis Courses
Selected titles for the Organized Contributed Sessions are:
• Aptamers in Separation Science
• Mass Spectrometry Meets the World
• New Concepts and Instruments for Biosensors
• New Directions in Analytical Instrumentation and Techniques
• Small Instrumentation for a Small World
• Theory and Practice of Fast LC
New TRC Facility Accelerates Innovation and Delivery
April 25th 2025We’ve expanded our capabilities with a state-of-the-art, 200,000 sq ft TRC facility in Toronto, completed in 2024 and staffed by over 100 PhD- and MSc-level scientists. This investment enables the development of more innovative compounds, a broader catalogue and custom offering, and streamlined operations for faster delivery. • Our extensive range of over 100,000 high-quality research chemicals—including APIs, metabolites, and impurities in both native and stable isotope-labelled forms—provides essential tools for uncovering molecular disease mechanisms and exploring new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
New Guide: Characterising Impurity Standards – What Defines “Good Enough?”
April 25th 2025Impurity reference standards (IRSs) are essential for accurately identifying and quantifying impurities in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Yet, with limited regulatory guidance on how much characterisation is truly required for different applications, selecting the right standard can be challenging. To help, LGC has developed a new interactive multimedia guide, packed with expert insights to support your decision-making and give you greater confidence when choosing the right IRS for your specific needs.
