The Chinese American Chromatography Association (CACA) invites nominations for two awards.
The 2019 CACA Student Excellence Awards, sponsored by Advanced Materials Technology, recognize outstanding contributions to the development of separation science and its applications, especially in the field of chromatography. The awards are open to all CACA members who are graduate students at the time of the award session. Two awards are planned at this time.
All application packages for the Student Excellence Awards will be evaluated by the CACA Awards committee. Applicants are judged on the originality and overall quality of work, significance to the advancement of separation science, and other supporting factors.
To apply to this award, an application package must consist of the following items:
Candidates can be self-nominated or nominated by any separation science expert in the field. The deadline for the 2019 CACA Student Excellence Awards application is December 31, 2018. Awardees will be selected by the CACA Awards Committee and notified by January 30, 2019. Details of CACA and its free membership are listed at http://www.ca-ca.org/.
The award will be presented at the 2019 Pittcon Conference, to be held March 17–21, 2019, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The awardee will give a presentation in a CACA career workshop at Pittcon 2019. A $1000 cash award and a plaque will be presented with the award.
Please send the nomination materials electronically (a single PDF file is required) to: awardnomination@ca-ca.org
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
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.
