Oliver Jones, Professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), has been awarded the 2022 Barry Inglis Medal for his extended and careful development of analytical measurement techniques at the recent National Measurement Institute’s (NMI) 2022 Metrology Awards.
The prestigious Barry Inglis Medal recognizes outstanding measurement-related achievements in Australia or by Australians. Bruce Warrington, NMI’s CEO and Chief Metrologist, and Cathy Foley, Australia’s Chief Scientist, announced the winners at a special event for National Science Week.
Jones’s research has applied several measurement innovations across a range of fields, including environmental monitoring for chemicals of concern, and metabolomics.
“Professor Jones’s work is an excellent example of the illustrious achievements the Barry Inglis Medal is intended to recognize. His leadership, collaborations, contribution to professional bodies, and commitment to science communication are notable,” said Warrington.

Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
