36th International Symposium On Capillary Chromatography and the 9th GC×GC Symposium
The International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) has established its reputation as a forum for microcolumn separation techniques. Since the first meeting in Hindelang in 1975, the most important developments in capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography and electromigration techniques have been presented in this symposium series.
The format and the atmosphere of the 36th meeting will be similar to the previous successful meetings, held in Hindeleng, Riva del Garda, Monterey, Baltimore, Gifu, Kobe, Wintergreen, Las Vegas, Dalia, Albuquerque, Portland and San Diego. Luigi Mondello from the University of Messina is the chairman of this year's event and Pat Sandra will be honorary chairman this year.
This year the Palazzo dei Congressi in Riva del Garda, Italy, will accomodate the 36th meeting from 27May to 1 June2012. The four-day event will feature recent findings from leading academic and industrial experts in the form of lectures and posters. The conference offers sessions on capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography, electromigration methods and microfabricated analytical systems, which are expected to cover lab-on-a-chip, column technology, coupled and multidimensional techniques, comprehensive techniques, hyphenated techniques, sampling and sample preparation, trace analysis and automation.
Application sessions include environmental applications, energy/petrochemcal/industrial applications, biomedical/pharmaceutical applications and the analysis of natural products, food, flavours and fragrances. Workshop-seminars of instrument manufacturers and an extensive exhibition of instrumenation, accessories and supplies will run in parallel to the scientific programme.
At the meeting, the 2012 Marcel Golay Award will be presented in recogntion of outstanding contributions in the field of separation science. Outstanding research work presented as oral or poster contributions by youngsters will be awarded with the Leslie Ettre Award for research on capillary gas chromatography applied to environmental or food analyses.
To encourage scientific exchange and friendship building, the scientific programme will be spiced with the well-known "Riva Social Programme", which consists of a welcome reception, cocktail party, classical concert, cheese and wine evening, disco night and farewell cocktail.
Considering the interest in comprehensive techniques, the 9th GC×GC Symposium will be organized during the same period to allow scientists to attend both meetings. The 9th GC×GC symposium will start on 27 May 2012 with a course presented by experts in the field covering the fundamental aspects of comprehensive techniques and a plenary session on 28 May 2012.
For both meetings, abstracts for consideration as lecture or poster presentations can be submitted on-line at http://www.chromaleont.it/iscc. All abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of scientific merit, novelty and practical application. Presenters at the meeting may also have their work published in a special volume of the Journal of Chromatography A.
Authors intending to submit papers for the symposium will be required to adhere to the following deadlines: A 300-word abstract must be received no later than 1February 2012. For abstract submission see the website: http://www.chromaleont.it/isc Notification of acceptance will be mailed to the authors by 1 March 2012.

LC–MS/MS-Based System Used to Profile Ceramide Reactions to Diseases
April 26th 2024Scientists from the University of Córdoba in Córdoba, Spain recently used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to comprehensively profile human ceramides to determine their reactions to diseases.
High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
