LCGC's inaugural symposium for separation scientists in pharma and biopharm
LCGC North America, the largest dedicated chromatography publication in North America, announces PharmSep: LCGC's Premiere Symposium for Separation Scientists in Pharma and Biopharm Conference. PharmSep will take place from 3–6 December 2007 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA.
The symposium will consist of interactive tutorials, case studies, short courses on HPLC and GC, hands-on lab sessions, social networking opportunities, technology demonstrations, and interactive focus groups.
For more information, please visit www.chromatographyonline.com/pharmsep, or contact LCGC's Customer Service Department at 888-524-9922 (U.S. only) or 218-740-7028.
Phenomenex ranks in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50
Phenomenex, Inc. (Torrance, California) has been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for Los Angeles. The Fast 50 is a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2002–2006.
Shimadzu and Groton Biosystems collaborate on ethanol analysis
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Columbia, Maryland) and Groton Biosystems (Boxborough, Massachusetts) announced a collaboration effort to interface Groton's online sampling monitors with Shimadzu's high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system to form a closed-loop solution for online analysis. Manufacturers will be able to quickly and efficiently optimize enzyme levels in mash by incorporating this system into the bio-ethanol production process.
Gilson offers direct customer support in United States
Gilson, Inc. (Middleton, Wisconsin) now offers direct support and sales in the United States. This change came into effect on 1 October 2007.
Gilson will now work directly with American customers to provide solutions for liquid chromatography (LC), solid phase extraction (SPE), liquid handling, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) clean-up requirements.
Pittcon announces 2008 grant award program
The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy has recently announced the 2008 Memorial National College Grants Program. Grants will be awarded to small college science departments for the purchase of scientific equipment, audio-visual or other teaching aids, and library materials for use in the teaching science at the undergraduate level.
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.
Using Chromatography to Explore Fluorescent Bioactive Compounds in the Coelomic Fluid of Earthworms
February 6th 2025A study aiming to identify fluorescent bioactive compounds in the coelomic fluid of earthworms, as well as to investigate their structural and functional characteristics for possible use in biomedical applications, utilized a variety of chromatographic techniques.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
