Magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Michael W. Dong, PhD, to its editorial advisory board.
Dong is a senior scientist in the Small Molecule Drug Discovery group at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA), a position he has held since 2007. He formerly served as a research director at Synomics Pharma (Wareham, MA), a research fellow at Purdue Pharma (Cranbury, NJ), a senior staff scientist at Applied Biosystems/PerkinElmer (Foster City, CA), and a section head in Hoechst Celanese (Bridgewater, NJ).
Don has conducted training courses at national meetings (ACS, Pittcon, EAS AAPS, HPLC) on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in pharmaceutical analysis and Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, HPLC method development, ultra high-pressure LC, the drug development process for scientists, and drug quality. His publishing credentials include more than 80 publications in chromatography and analytical chemistry. He has authored a bestseller in chromatography, Modern HPLC for Practicing Scientists (Wiley, 2006) and co-edited Handbook of Pharmaceutical Analysis by HPLC (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2005).
Dong received his doctorate in analytical chemistry from the City University of New York, and a certificate in biotechnology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Obtaining Allicin from Garlic with High-Speed Counter Current Chromatography
February 14th 2025High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC), an advanced liquid-liquid chromatography technique employing both a liquid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase (effectively eliminating irreversible adsorption), was used to harvest allicin from garlic.
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.
Identifying Microplastics in Tap Water with Py-GC/MS
February 12th 2025A pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) methodology has been specifically developed for the identification and quantification of seven polymers commonly found in tap water. The researchers responsible for the approach state that it prioritizes both time and cost efficiency without compromising the thoroughness of marker spectrum detection and confirmation.
