This Monday afternoon session will be presided over by Stephen G. Weber, of the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).
Session: 650, Room S405a, 1:30 p.m.
This Monday afternoon session will be presided over by Stephen G. Weber, of the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).
The session will begin with a presentation by Luis A. Colon, of the University at Buffalo – SUNY (Buffalo, New York) titled “Nanoparticle Modified Monolithic Columns.” Colon’s presentation will focus on the details of column preparation, physicochemical characteristics, and preliminary chromatographic evaluation of these new types of monoliths.
Following Colon, James W. Jorgenson, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) will present “High Resolution Separations by Capillary UHPLC.” Jorgenson will discuss a system for capillary UHPLC columns with operating pressures to 3400 bar (50,000 psi) and with elevated temperatures.
The next presentation in the session is titled “Prospects for Organic Monoliths in Capillary Liquid Chromatography” and will be delivered by Milton L. Lee, of Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah). The presentation will show how recent laboratory work using living polymerization methods have improved monolithic bed structures and resulted in chromatographic efficiencies for capillary LC in excess of 150,000 theoretical plates per meter.
Following a 15-minute recess, Frantisek Svec, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley, California) will present a talk titled “Monolithic Capillary Columns: Novel Approaches to Tuning Porosity and Pore Surface Chemistry.” Svec will discuss the recent development and demonstration of the second generation of monoliths using a new two-step approach to the control of porous properties that include hypercrosslinking reaction.
The final presentation in the session is scheduled to be given by Stephen G. Weber. Weber’s talk is titled “Increasing Capillary HPLC Speed” and will focus on the availability of higher pressure pumps and the recognition of temperature as an important variable in controlling band spreading and speed, leading to faster separations.
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.
