This second of the two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening includes talks from Gregory Eiden of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Jack Beauchamp of California Institute of Technology.
This second of the two parallel tutorial sessions on Sunday evening includes talks from Gregory Eiden of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Jack Beauchamp of California Institute of Technology.
Eiden will talk about mass spectrometry and nuclear forensics. Eiden is a laboratory fellow at PNNL. Laboratory fellows are appointed by PNNL's Laboratory Director based on recommendations of a review committee of laboratory fellows representing all research directorates in the organization. The fellows serve as a scientific and technical advisors to the directorate's management team and develop the cross-directorate science and technology strategy. About three percent of PNNL's researchers hold this rank. Some of Eiden’s recent research addresses the characterization of extreme ultraviolet laser-ablation mass spectrometry for actinide trace analysis, identifying anthoropogenic uranium compounds, and resolving radioisotopes of cesium.
Beauchamp’s talk is entitled, “From the Laboratory to the Stars.” Beauchamp’s research focuses on the development of novel mass spectrometric techniques in biochemistry. In 2007 he received the Distinguished Contribution Award from the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for the original development and chemical applications of ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy.
This session will be held from 5:00 to 6:30 in Ballroom 20A, on the upper level. Eiden will talk from 5:00 to 5:45, followed by Beauchamp from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
