This Monday afternoon session, which runs from 4:30 to 5:55 p.m., will be kicked off by keynote lecturer Attila Felinger of the University of Pécs, in Hungary. Felinger will talk about reversed-flow liquid chromatography (LC).
Martin Gilar of Waters Corporation will follow, with a talk entitled, “What Can We Learn from Chromatographic Simulations?”
Oleg Krokhin of the University of Manitoba, in Winnepeg, Canada, will then talk about retention time predictions for peptides in strong anion-exchange HPLC, and the application of such predictions in two-dimensional LC–MS/MS separations that combine a strong anion-exchange step and a reversed-phase LC step.
The theme of computer tools will be carried on through the next talk, when Pankaj Aggarwal of Pfizer talks about the use of in silico tools for method development and robustness assessments of LC methods.
The session will wrap up with a talk by Ken Broeckhoven of the Free University of Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), who will address the question of where the limit of operating pressure lies in analytical scale liquid chromatography. In his work, Broeckhoven has demonstrated the use of very high operating pressure (up to 2600 bar) in ultrahigh-pressure LC (UHPLC).
The session will be chaired by Matthew Lauber of Waters Corporation.
Emerging Trends and Challenges in Detecting Residues and Contaminants in Food in the Exposome Era
June 18th 2025This article describes the analytical challenges of chemical exposomics in food safety. The need for high-throughput, multi-platform approaches—such as LC–HRMS and GC–HRMS with IMS—to capture the full spectrum of potential contaminants in our food supply is emphasised.
New Research Explores Role of Nucleotide Hydrophobicity in Oligonucleotide Separation
June 18th 2025Researchers from Waters and Biospring studied the contribution of nucleotide type and modifications on the retention and resolution of 22–24 nt long oligonucleotides in different chromatographic methods.
A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
