LCGC magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Deirdre Cabooter to the editorial advisory boards of LCGC North America and LCGCEurope.
Cabooter is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences at the University of Leuven in Belgium. Her work focuses on a broad range of topics in separation science, including the fundamental investigation of novel chromatographic supports, the comparison and evaluation of liquid chromatography techniques using the kinetic plot method, the development of generic automatable method development strategies for the analysis of complex samples, and the evaluation and application of new microfluidic devices for chromatographic separations.
In 2015, Cabooter became a member of the editorial board of Journal of Chromatography A. She has been nominated for the Csaba Horvath Young Scientist Award at the international Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC conference) in 2010, 2011, and 2014. She received her PhD in chemical engineering in 2009 from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in Brussels, Belgium.
GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
