Today at 3:45 pm, John W. Dolan of LC Resources in McMinnville, Oregon, will be presented with the 2022 Uwe D. Neue Award in Separation Science. He will then give a talk titled, “In the Fullness of Time: The DryLab Story.” His talk will be the first presentation in the Monday afternoon parallel session 4C, “Theory–I,” in Ballroom C.
Dolan had a long and successful career focused on liquid chromatography. He worked with Lloyd Snyder on the development of the hydrophobic subtraction model and was a co-developer of the DryLab software for LC method development. He also spent more than 30 years traveling the globe giving short courses on HPLC, and for 34 years wrote the monthly “LC Troubleshooting” column in LCGC, through which he educated generations of chromatographers, ultimately writing 390 installments.
The Uwe D. Neue Award, sponsored by Waters Corporation, was created to recognize scientists who have made and continue to make significant contributions to the field of separation science, in honor of the legacy of the late scientist Dr. Uwe D. Neue, who was a Waters Corporate Fellow. The award honors a distinguished industrial scientist, preferably 15–20 years after receiving his or her doctoral degree, who has made a significant contribution to the field of separation science and continues to advance it. In addition, the awardee should be an industrial scientist, and one who was instrumental in the embodiment of technology in commercial products.
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.
