ChromSoc’s Advances in Gas Chromatography meeting will take place at The Heath Business and Technical Park, Runcorn, Cheshire, UK, on 18 October 2017.
Gas chromatography (GC) is still the technique of choice for analyzing both volatile and semivolatile compounds, but for more difficult matrices, more is being asked of the technique in terms of separation and limits of detection. The meeting sets out to give an overview of current GC technologies and methods, as well as information on newer GC solutions. This is a biennial meeting organized by The Chromatographic Society and is the sixth meeting of this series.
The meeting has been put together to showcase work from industry, academia, and the instrument companies, and is designed to accommodate the needs of both experienced chromatographers as well as those new to the technology and its applications.
The expansive one-day event has been structured to bring attendees up to speed with the “state of play” in gas chromatography, its associated instrumentation, and support products. In previous years it has been a “full house” and booking early is recommended, according to the organizers.
The organizers have invited leading practitioners in gas chromatography from industry, academia, and the instrument companies to provide an insight in to the current status and future direction of gas chromatography. It will be a full day’s meeting with exhibition and a meeting programme. The full talk schedule can be found online at: http://www.chromsoc.com/ChromsocEvents.aspx

The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Evaluating Dissolved Organic Matter with GPC and Spectroscopy
February 4th 2025Gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy was utilized to assess road runoff passed through a filter filled with sludge from drinking water treatment plants to evaluate its capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM).
