LCGC Magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Douglas E. Raynie to its editorial advisory board.
Raynie is an associate research professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University (Brookings, South Dakota). Prior to joining SDSU, he worked for 11 years as a senior scientist in Procter and Gamble’s research division.
Raynie’s research interests are in the field of sustainability and green chemistry. His two major areas of research are analytical separations and bioprocessing, using supercritical fluids and related technologies. One common theme to both of these research areas is the use of nonconventional solvents, including supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents. His analytical separations research includes high-resolution chromatography, chromatographic sample preparation (accelerated solvent extraction, superficial fluid chromatography, solid phase microextraction, and solid phase extraction), chromatography theory, green analytical chemistry, and problem-based learning in analytical chemistry. His active projects in bioprocessing are centered on pretreatment strategies for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioenergy or high-value materials.
Raynie received his PhD from Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) under the direction of Milton L. Lee. His undergraduate degree is from Augustana College (Sioux Falls, South Dakota), with majors in chemistry and biology.
Obtaining Allicin from Garlic with High-Speed Counter Current Chromatography
February 14th 2025High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC), an advanced liquid-liquid chromatography technique employing both a liquid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase (effectively eliminating irreversible adsorption), was used to harvest allicin from garlic.
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.
