Tuesday Morning Session on Chiral Separations
Terry Berger of Berger Instruments (Newark, Delaware) and Geoffrey Cox of Chiral Technologies, Inc. (West Chester, Pennsylvania) will chair a Monday morning session titled "Chiral Separations" in Ballroom B.
Terry Berger of Berger Instruments (Newark, Delaware) and Geoffrey Cox of Chiral Technologies, Inc. (West Chester, Pennsylvania) will chair a Monday morning session titled “Chiral Separations” in Ballroom B.
The session’s first presentation will be given by Wolfgang Lindner of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria). The title of Linder’s presentation is “The Potential of Novel Zwitterionic Chiral Ion Exchanger for HPLC Enantiomer Separations of Charged Analytes.”
Lindner’s presentation will be followed by a study presented by Kenji Hamase of Kyushu University (Fukuoka, Japan). Hamase’s presentation is titled “Two-Dimensional HPLC Determination of All Proteinogenic Amino Acid Enantiomers in Mammalian Tissues and Physiological Fluids.”
The final talk in this Monday session is titled “Chiral Gradient Elution Separations: Modeling of Normal and Reversed-Phase Systems and Prediction of Resolution for Complex Mixtures.” It will be presented by Session Co-Chair Geoffrey B. Cox.
Following Cox’s presentation, attendees are invited to Exhibit Hall A&B for a light breakfast and snacks.
Inside the Laboratory: The Stone Laboratory Group at the University of Iowa
September 13th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Betsy Stone, PhD, a professor of chemistry at the University of Iowa, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including developing a new liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) method to track secondary organic aerosol that forms in the atmosphere from D5.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Detangling the Complex Web of GC×GC Method Development to Support New Users
September 12th 2024The introduction of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) to the sample screening toolbox has substantially increased the ability to comprehensively characterize complex mixtures. However, for many gas chromatography (GC) users, the thought of having to learn to develop methods on a new technology is daunting. Developing a basic GC×GC method for most (nonspecialized) applications can be accomplished in minimal time and effort given parameter suggestions and ranges to target analytes in a sample of interest. In this article, the authors work describe a simple workflow to develop a GC×GC method for a specific sample upon initial use, with the aim of decreasing the time to accomplish functional workflows for new users.
