The 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award has been awarded to Professor Milos V. Novotny, Indiana University, Indiana, USA. Sponsored by LCGC Europe and presented on 2 February 2012 at the HTC-12 Conference in Bruges, Belgium, the award recognizes outstanding achievements in hyphenated techniques in chromatography and distinguished service to the international chromatographic community.
Professor Novotny’s research interests include separation science and structural analysis of biological molecules, proteomics and glycobiology, and chemical communication in mammals. He was a member of the Viking 1975 science team and designed the miniaturized gas chromatographic column to search for organic molecules on the surface of Mars. More recently, his group has also been known for identification of disease biomarkers through glycomics and glycoproteomics. He has written over 500 journal articles, reviews, books and patents and has received around 40 awards, medals and other distinctions.
Dr Hernan Cortes, Chairman, Lifetime Achievement Award in Chromatography selection committee, commented, “It is an honour and a pleasure to recognize such a distinguished scientist as Professor Novotny with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Chromatography. His scientific contributions, originality, individual qualities and prolific discoveries are a model to be pursued by scientists worldwide.”

Examining Alkaloid Profiles in Milk with LC-MS
February 10th 2025Research conducted by The Technology Transfer Center of the Edmund Mach Foundation (San Michele all'Adige, Italy) and the University of Udine (Udine, Italy) used liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to investigate alkaloid transfer from alpine pastures to milk.
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.
