The Application of Continuous-Flow Enrichment in Proteomics
March 31st 2006Proteomics research is an active and dynamic field, but as many of the abundant protein classes have been investigated thoroughly, the move to low-abundance targets has posed significant difficulties. The problem of purifying proteins expressed in cellular organelles is of particular interest. However, extensive separation, fractionation, and enrichment are required to obtain those low-abundance proteins that drive life processes in these subcellular entities. Here, we review the use of continuous-flow ultracentrifugation for the purpose of organelle separation.
Innovations in Ion and Liquid Chromatography
March 13th 2006Four presentations were given Monday afternoon as part of an ongoing New Product Forum Series at Pittcon 2006. The session, entitled, "Innovations in Ion and Liquid Chromatography" was presided over by David S. Cifrulak. Cifrulak pointed out the importance of the new products and those who develop them. "They answer questions and satisfy needs of those who work at the bench," Cifrulak said.

Welcome to the 2006 Pittcon Meeting Report
March 12th 2006Welcome to the inaugural edition of LCGC's newest offering, the 2006 Pittcon Meeting Report from Orlando, Florida. In our ongoing effort to bring the separations community the most useful and pertinent information possible in as many different media as possible, we are excited to bring you a day-by-day reporting of the events, awards, and technical sessions held this week at the industry's premiere conference, Pittcon.
Plenary Lecture: Watching Biochemistry Inside Living Cells and Organisms
March 12th 2006Dr. Annette Wilson of the Pittsburgh Conference 2006 Organizing Committee introduced today's plenary speaker, Roger Y. Tsien, Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. Tsien's research has involved designing and building molecules that either report or perturb signal transduction inside living cells.
Solid Phase Extraction and Solid Phase Microextraction at Work
March 12th 2006With 88 oral sessions, 54 poster sessions, 101 short courses, 50 symposia, and 9 workshops to choose from, it is impossible to do it all at Pittcon 2006 - that is, unless one of the brilliant scientific minds here has found a way to be in two different places at once.
