Wednesday Morning Session on Surface Properties
A Wednesday morning session titled "Surface Properties, Interactions and Retention Selectivity" will be held in Ballroom B starting at 10:30 a.m. The Session Chairs will be Georges Guiochon of the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee) and Wolfgang Lindner of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria).
A Wednesday morning session titled “Surface Properties, Interactions and Retention Selectivity” will be held in Ballroom B starting at 10:30 a.m. The Session Chairs will be Georges Guiochon of the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee) and Wolfgang Lindner of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria).
The first presentation in the session will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be given by Marja-Liisa Riekkola of the University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland). The title of the presentation is “Ingenious Electrochromatographic Approaches for Surface Interaction Studies.”
Next, a talk titled “Structural Variation of Solid Core and Thickness of Porous Shell of 1.7 µm Core-Shell Silica Particles on Chromatographic Performance” will be presented by Csaba Horváth Young Scientist Award Nominee Jesse O. Omamogho.
Omamogho’s discussion of the core-shell LC column particles will be followed by a presentation by Charles A. Lucy of the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) titled “Insights into Retention and Selectivity in Ion Chromatographic Separations of Inorganic Anions.”
The final presentation in this Wednesday morning session will be given by Uwe Dieter Neue of Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts). Neue’s talk is titled “Selectivity in Reversed-Phase Separations.”
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.
Reliable Separation and Efficient Group-type Quantitation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs)
September 11th 2024Petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, for example, is a significant concern for both the environment and human health. Thorough characterization of the contamination is required to form appropriate risk assessments and remediation strategies, but until now, the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil has typically involved a convoluted and labour-intensive process. In this article, the analysis of TPH in environmental media is simplified using flow-modulated GC×GC–FID with quantitation based on pre-defined compound groupings. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of conventional solvent fractionation approaches, by eliminating the need for sample fractionation and automating data processing workflows.
The Reality Behind Column Insertion Distance
September 10th 2024Column insertion distance is critical to good chromatography. What happens if the column is installed too low in the injection port? Is insertion distance more important when performing split injection or splitless injection? Does the position of the column in the injection port impact reproducibility?
