“Imprinted Sorbants†is a Wednesday afternoon session that will get under way at 4:30 p.m. The Sessions Chairs will be Shreekant Karmarkar of Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Round Lake, Illinois), and Roberty Kennedy of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan).

The Tuesday afternoon “Omics II†session is a continuation of the morning’s “Omics I†session, and will be held in Grand Ballroom F-K, starting at 4:30 p.m. The Session Chairs will be Jonathan Bones of The Barnett Institute, Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts), and David Lubman of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan).

Here is a brief description of today’s session that includes an award nominee.

There will be two 45-minute sunrise tutorial sessions given on Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m.

The Csaba Horváth award was created to honor its namesake and recognize his contributions to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), including his interest in fostering the careers of young scientists in separation science and engineering. The award is a cash grant and a trophy engraved with the winner's name. The winner is also invited to give an oral presentation at HPLC 2013. There are 10 nominees this year, each giving presentations throughout the duration of the conference. The Csaba Horváth award will be presented on Thursday. Here is a brief description of the four sessions today that include award nominees.

Frantisek Svec, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley, California), will moderate "What are the Great Challenges of Chromatography," a Plenary Panel Discussion that will take place Wednesday afternoon in the Grand Ballroom at 5:20 p.m.

Robert Stevenson of American Laboratory/Labcompare (Lafayette, California) and Ulrich Tallarek of Phillips-Universität Marburg (Marburg, Germany) will chair this Monday morning session titled “Chiral Separations†in Grand Ballroom A-E. The session will follow the morning's plenary lectures and will begin at 10:35 a.m.

Monday morning's plenary lectures, which will be chaired by Gerard Hopfgartner of the University of Geneva (Geneva, Switzerland) will be held in the Grand Ballroom and will begin at 8:30 a.m.

Here is a brief description of the five sessions today and tomorrow that include award nominees, as well as the presentation from last year’s award winner.

Defining Method Goals

Can databases of column characteristics be used to help with HPLC column selection ahead of method development?

Many drugs that are sold on the street have been modified or diluted by the dealer and as a consequence forensic laboratories are overwhelmed with samples, which can take a long time to process.

4th International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) (London, UK) has announced that it has ended the practice of using mice for the detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and lipophilic toxins in commercially harvested shellfish.

A team of scientists in Spain has produced a new method that detects traces of veterinary drugs in baby food.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the world.

Malaria is one of the biggest killers in the developing world. In order to wage war on this disease the quality of the drugs that are available must be of the highest possible.

GPC/SEC results and their validity are crucial in many applications, for example, as part of a QC/QA test for a product release, the registration and accreditation of polymeric products or formulations with regulatory agencies such as the FDA, REACH and many more. Obviously, the accuracy and precision of GPC/SEC results is an important issue in such a context.

ChromaDex Corporation (CDXC) (Irvine, California, USA) has announced that it has collaborated with the Scripps Centre for Metabolomics (La Jolla, California, USA) to generate tandem mass spectrometry data for compounds from the ChromaDex natural products and phytochemical catalogue.
