The Sciex sponsored award was presented to Terabe as part of a Special Award Plenary Session at the 33rd International Symposium on Microscale Bioseparations (MSB 2017).
A driving force in understanding the fundamentals of capillary electrophoresis, Terabe was also involved in the introduction of micellar electrokinetic chromatography and its myriad of applications.
“This annual medal and award sponsored by Sciex recognizes the achievements of those that have made a momentous impact on capillary electrophoresis,” said Jeff Chapman, Sr. Director of Sciex. “Professor Terabe’s invention of micellar electrokinetic chromatography has inspired many scientists.”
“I am humbled to be the recipient of the prestigious Arnold O. Beckman award, a notable honour that has recognized distinguished colleagues that have impacted diverse scientific and technical disciplines,” said Shigeru Terabe, Professor Emeritus of the University of Hyogo in Kamigori, Hyogo, Japan. “Dr. Beckman’s achievements have inspired me and I would like to express my gratitude to MSB for this esteemed award.”
Obtaining Allicin from Garlic with High-Speed Counter Current Chromatography
February 14th 2025High-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC), an advanced liquid-liquid chromatography technique employing both a liquid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase (effectively eliminating irreversible adsorption), was used to harvest allicin from garlic.
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.
Identifying Microplastics in Tap Water with Py-GC/MS
February 12th 2025A pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) methodology has been specifically developed for the identification and quantification of seven polymers commonly found in tap water. The researchers responsible for the approach state that it prioritizes both time and cost efficiency without compromising the thoroughness of marker spectrum detection and confirmation.
