(Innovation)2 + (Education)2 × Networking = Pittcon 2010
Pittcon has always served as a showcase for innovations in laboratory science, as well as provided the perfect venue for leading scientists to share their latest research and findings... and this year is no exception.
Innovation plus education and networking is the best equation to describe Pittcon 2010. Pittcon has always served as a showcase for innovations in laboratory science, as well as provided the perfect venue for leading scientists to share their latest research and findings... and this year is no exception. The Pittcon 2010 technical programme offered a diverse educational component with more than 2200 technical papers included in symposia, contributed and oral sessions, workshops, awards and poster sessions. New for this year, registered attendees received access to webcasts of 50 select technical presentations for 60 days following the show. Attendees were also able to continue their education by taking one or more of the very affordable short courses designed to provide training in new technologies, continuing education and improving career skills.
An LC–HRMS Method for Separation and Identification of Hemoglobin Variant Subunits
March 6th 2025Researchers from Stanford University’s School of Medicine and Stanford Health Care report the development of a liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) method for identifying hemoglobin (Hb) variants. The method can effectively separate several pairs of normal and variant Hb subunits with mass shifts of less than 1 Da and accurately identify them in intact-protein and top-down analyses.
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.
