Welcome to Day 2 of HPLC 2010
Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of LCGC's continuing coverage of HPLC 2010. We hope you've been able to take in some of the sights and sounds of Boston, Massachusetts, in addition to attending the many technical sessions and exhibitor booths at this year's conference.
Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of LCGC's continuing coverage of HPLC 2010. We hope you’ve been able to take in some of the sights and sounds of Boston, Massachusetts, in addition to attending the many technical sessions and exhibitor booths at this year’s conference. If not, you still have plenty of time, as Faneuil Hall, Boston Common, and yes, HPLC 2010 and the Hynes Convention Center won’t be going anywhere any time soon. However, unfortunately, the sport that Boston is most associated with will not be played this week, as the Red Sox are out of town. But never fear: You can strike up a conversation with just about any cab driver or street vendor if you’d like to talk baseball and find out how Boston’s team is doing. They’ll be more than happy to oblige you.
As for chromatography, discussions on this topic will not be in short supply either, as today’s schedule is loaded with informative sessions delivered by the industry’s most well-known figures. Today’s docket is also full of familiar faces from the pages of LCGC, and in particular, I would recommend taking in “Multidimensional Separations I” in Ballroom C this morning at 9 am. Chaired by LCGC EAB member and industry veteran Peter Carr, this session will have presentations from frequent LCGC authors Mark Schure (“Measuring the Dimensionality of Separation Systems: A New Performance Metric for Chromatography”) and Pavel Jandera (“Gradient Optimization in two-Dimensional Comprehensive LCXLC”). Readers can also look for a nostalgic look at the field of chromatography from Dr. Carr in the August issue of LCGC, as he recounts his time in the industry and offers some amusing anecdotes from the “old days.”
In the meantime, we would also like to once again extend our personal invitation to stop by the LCGC booth (#414) any time and say hello. Not only do we want to hear your feedback on the show and LCGC, but we also have some diehard baseball fans on our staff, so you may be able to kill two birds with one stone. Enjoy the show today!
Interpreting Metabolites and Biosynthetic Pathways of Musk with GC–MS
May 22nd 2025Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to detect the chemical components of natural musk, harvested from forest musk deer at multiple stages of maturity. This research combines metabolomic profiling with biosynthetic pathway analysis to identify potential precursors and enzymes involved in musk biosynthesis.
HPLC 2025 Preview: HPLC 2025 Hits Bruges
May 22nd 2025The 54th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2025) will be held from Sunday through Thursday, June 15–19 2025, in Bruges, Belgium. LCGC International spoke to the Scientific Committee to find out what’s in store.
Quantifying Isavuconazole in Dried Blood Spots Using HPLC
May 21st 2025Isavuconazole, an antimycotic agent used to treat fungal infections, can typically be found during dried blood spot sampling. However, there are obstacles that keep it from being an ideal approach for properly determining the drug’s presence.
