We have reached Day 3, the final day of LCGC's coverage from HPLC 2010, and somehow, it never fails to surprise us to find that we've concluded another week of coverage. However, HPLC still has plenty to offer, including another full day of technical sessions and exhibits tomorrow, so we hope you can take advantage of everything the conference has to offer in your remaining time.
We have reached Day 3, the final day of LCGC’s coverage from HPLC 2010, and somehow, it never fails to surprise us to find that we’ve concluded another week of coverage. However, HPLC still has plenty to offer, including another full day of technical sessions and exhibits tomorrow, so we hope you can take advantage of everything the conference has to offer in your remaining time.
The technical sessions this afternoon in particular promise to be informative and full of cutting-edge research, as “Systems Biology II” beginning at 4:30 pm in Ballroom A will not only provide interesting and intriguing presentations, it also will once again be full of some of LCGC’s most well-known regular authors. Milos Novotny will be presenting “Integrating Knowledge from Glycomic and Glycoproteomic Measurements in Disease Biomarker Discovery,” along with co-authors William Alley and Ben Mann, while LCGC EAB member Fred Regnier will be presenting “Chromatographic Analysis of Protein Complexes.” Round this off with LCGC EAB member Pat Sandra’s group presenting “An LC–MS-Based Lipodomics Platform for In-Depth Study of Biological Fluids in Tissues” (with Csaba Horvath Young Scientist Award Nominee Koen Sandra presenting), and we don’t think you can go wrong making this part of your schedule for the day.
Finally, even though there is a great deal of science and networking remaining in HPLC 2010, we would nonetheless like to wish all of this year’s conference-goers safe travels getting to your next destination. We hope you have enjoyed this daily resource on all that was happening at HPLC 2010 and in Boston, Massachusetts, because it has certainly been our pleasure bringing it to you. Please look for additional show coverage throughout the year from LCGC, at all of the industry’s biggest events.Happy traveling!
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Reliable Separation and Efficient Group-type Quantitation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs)
September 11th 2024Petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, for example, is a significant concern for both the environment and human health. Thorough characterization of the contamination is required to form appropriate risk assessments and remediation strategies, but until now, the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil has typically involved a convoluted and labour-intensive process. In this article, the analysis of TPH in environmental media is simplified using flow-modulated GC×GC–FID with quantitation based on pre-defined compound groupings. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of conventional solvent fractionation approaches, by eliminating the need for sample fractionation and automating data processing workflows.
The Reality Behind Column Insertion Distance
September 10th 2024Column insertion distance is critical to good chromatography. What happens if the column is installed too low in the injection port? Is insertion distance more important when performing split injection or splitless injection? Does the position of the column in the injection port impact reproducibility?
