LCGC Columnist Receives Medal
Ronald E. Majors, a senior chemist at Agilent and LCGC's "Column Watch" and "Sample Preperation Perspectives" columnist, received the Chromatographic Society?s 2007 Martin Gold Medal at HPLC 2008.
Ronald E. Majors, a senior chemist at Agilent and LCGC's "Column Watch" and "Sample Preperation Perspectives" columnist, received the Chromatographic Society's 2007 Martin Gold Medal at HPLC 2008. The award, named after the Nobel Prize winner A.J.P. Martin, was presented by Professor W. John Lough, president of the Chromatographic Society of the United Kingdom.
Majors has contributed significantly to separation science research through the years, including his work in HPLC column technology, particle size studies, packing methodologies, and chemically bonded phases. He was the first to efficiently pack 5-m particles into high performance columns and was responsible for the introduction of the first commercial microparticulate column.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
