Pioneers of the new frontier

CHROMacademy, CHROMmunity and The Column have won a Media Pioneer Award at the 2011 Specialist Media Show, for outstanding innovation and entrepreneurial achievement in specialist media. Organizers were impressed with the integration of the web, print, digital magazine, e-learning and online communities, which allow us to serve a worldwide audience of chromatographers.

CHROMacademy is a professional development site for chromatographers developed in collaboration with the LC•GC team and Crawford Scientific. Subscribers have access to an e-learning archive of 3000 modules with online assessments and 5000 articles and applications. So far it has 3000 subscribers, with some large organizations buying up to 200 licences for their staff.

CHROMmunity is a free community launched in August 2009 on Ning to enable chromatographers to share experiences and connect with colleagues around the world. It now has over 3500 members from 88 countries, who ask questions, make connections and contribute blogs.
