ASMS 2021 Tuesday Afternoon Session: Synthetic Polymers
The ASMS 2021 Tuesday afternoon oral session titled “Synthetic Polymers” will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 pm in room 114. The session, which will be chaired and presided by Chrys Wesdemiotis of the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, includes a discussion on a variety of aspects relating to synthetic polymers.
The session will begin with a talk by Dujuan Lu of SGS Health Science about the analysis of extractables from rubber stoppers used in pharmaceutical applications.
Kristen Reese of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will then present a rapid, direct-MS method to identify polymers, additives, and contaminants in food contact materials.
The third talk, by Yadwinder Sigh Mann of the University of the Pacific, will address enhanced sequence coverage in peptoids with the addition of Li and Na metal ions.
Addie Keating-Zaid will then discuss a solvent-free technique for studying the structure, bonding, and reactions of chlorophosphazenes, a class of inorganic polymers, used widely in fire-resistant chemicals, fuel cells, and semiconductor materials, which consist of highly reactive repeat units.
The session will wrap up with a roundtable discussion about synthetic polymers, from 4:10 to 4:30 pm.
Evaluating Antimicrobial Potential of Articaine Derivatives in Oral Infections with CMC
May 20th 2025Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) technology was used by researchers in screening efficacy and antibacterial ability of articaine (AT) derivatives in the pre-emptive treatment of oral infections.
Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) and Direct Online Disruption of Lipid Nanoparticles
May 19th 2025Two proof-of-concept hydrophilic interaction chromatography HILIC) methods were developed in a joint study conducted by the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Sanofi, and the Waters Corporation—one for disrupting LNPs and retaining the mRNA, and another for detecting only unencapsulated mRNA to assess encapsulation efficiency. LCGC International spoke to Jonathan Maurer, first author of the paper that resulted from this study, about the methods and the efforts that led up to their development.
This article discusses how integrating seven prioritization strategies can enhance compound identification, support environmental risk assessment, and accelerate decision-making.
