The Pittcon Program Committee has announced that the 2010 Technical Program listing of sessions is now available on the Pittcon website: www.pittcon.org . The Technical Program which begins Sunday, February 28 and closes on Thursday, March 4, 2010, will consist of 62 symposia, 28 organized contributed sessions, 120 oral sessions, 8 workshops, 45 conferee networking sessions, and 88 poster sessions.
For the first time, as a value-added feature, Pittcon will provide conferees and exhibitors with password-only access to webcast versions of 10 selected symposia for 60 days after the end of the conference. These selected symposia listed below will also be be identified in the preliminary and final programs.
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.
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.
