The International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (the HPLC Symposium) is one of the leading international conferences in separation science. Since the first symposium in 1973, held in Interlaken, Switzerland, the conference has focused on bringing the latest in separation science theory, technology and applications to an international audience.
The 35th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2010) will take place in Boston in the Hynes Convention Center & Sheraton Boston Hotel, Boston, USA, from 19–24 June 2010 and will feature plenary and keynote lectures by separation scientists at the forefront of the field, short courses and workshops for learning about current techniques and technologies, as well as open discussion sessions for optimal interactions with fellow scientists. Among the many topics are sessions on separation fundamentals; high-temperature, high-speed and high-resolution separations; biomarker analysis and systems biology; microfluidic separation systems; developments in chromatographic column technology, including monolithic columns, small particle developments and core shell particles; and new instrumentation and novel detection schemes. In addition, applications in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical analysis, environmental and food safety analysis, life sciences and polymers will be featured.
The conference provides a superb venue for learning the latest advances in liquid phase separations, interact with colleagues and renew old friendships. The wide-ranging vendor exhibition will include many companies showing their latest innovations in separation science and related areas.
Several components of the HPLC series of symposia make it a valuable resource for analytical chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists and those in the separation sciences seeking practical solutions. As well as the extensive technical programme of lecture and poster presentations addressing the diverse challenges faced by today's scientists, half- and full-day short courses are designed for scientists to gain insights into the latest advances in liquid phase separations and apply them to meet their specific needs. Another popular feature is the tutorial sessions, which are designed as educational lectures for students and others new to various separations disciplines, and to provide opportunities to broaden one's understanding of separation science.
The conference social programme is always popular, and will include opening and closing receptions with the conference dinner being held at the Museum of Fine Arts.

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.
Testing Solutions for Metals and PFAS in Water
January 22nd 2025When it comes to water analysis, it can be challenging for labs to keep up with ever-changing testing regulations while also executing time-efficient, accurate, and risk-mitigating workflows. To ensure the safety of our water, there are a host of national and international regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO), and the European Union (EU) that demand stringent testing methods for drinking water and wastewater. Those methods often call for fast implementation and lengthy processes, as well as high sensitivity and reliable instrumentation. This paper explains how your ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and LC-MS-MS workflows can be optimized for compliance with the latest requirements for water testing set by regulations like US EPA methods 200.8, 6010, 6020, and 537.1, along with ISO 17294-2. It will discuss the challenges faced by regulatory labs to meet requirements and present field-proven tips and tricks for simplified implementation and maximized uptime.
