The Pittcon Organizing Committee has announced that over 72 select members of Florida's scientific community will be making presentations in symposia and taking part in oral and poster sessions and workshops for the technical programme at Pittcon 2012.
The programme will cover topics such as life sciences, drug discovery, nanotechnology, biomedical, environmental, homeland security, food science, forensics, agriculture, analytical chemistry and biomass.
A new feature for 2012 is the Capstone Lecture, “Redesigning DNA: Fixing God's Mistakes”, which will be presented by Steven A. Benner, a Distinguished Fellow at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Dr Alan G. Marshall from Florida State University will present a symposium, “Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance: The Mass Spectrometry Zenith” and a workshop, “Algae Polar Lipids Characterized by On-Line Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Hybrid Linear Quadrupole Ion Trap/Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry.”
Institutions such as the University of Central Florida, University of North Florida, Florida State University, University of Florida, Florida International University, University of South Florida and Florida State College at Jacksonville will be represented.
In addition, there will be more than 30 Florida-based companies exhibiting. These include names such as BioTools, Metrohm USA, Ocean Optics, STARLIMS, American Lab Design and Separation Systems.

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.
