5C, Monday Parallel Session: Stationary Phase Design I
Room HEC-C, Hilton Exhibition Center, 2nd floor
This Monday afternoon session will be chaired by Koji Otsuka of Kyoto University in Japan.
The session will begin with a presentation by David McCalley of University of the West of England in Bristol, UK, titled “New Developments in Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography.”
Brett Paull of the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia, will follow McCalley’s presentation with a talk titled “Combining Mixed-mode and HILIC Based Chromatography in Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Analysis. Single Column and Parallel Column Approaches.”
Following Paull will be Andrea Gargano of the Van’t Hof Institute for Molecular Sciences in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Gargano’s talk is titled “Mucin-based Stationary Phases as Tool for the Characterization of Drug-Mucus Interaction.”
The final talk of this session will be given by David Hage of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska. Hage will speak on “Personalized Medicine by High-Performance Affinity Chromatography: Recent Developments in Affinity Microcolumns and the Analysis of Complex Biological Interactions.”
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?
