The 15th International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography and Separation Technology (HTC-15) will be held at Cardiff City Hall, Cardiff, United Kingdom, from 24–26 January 2018. This is the second time the Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography (HTC) conference has been held in the UK and the event is set to be a premier UK event for separation scientists in 2018, attracting national and internationally renowned scientists, with delegates from 15 different countries registered so far. The meeting is organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry Separation Science Group (RSC SSG) with the Royal Flemish Chemical Society (KVCV). Full meeting details can be found at www.htc-conference.co.uk.
The programme will include topics such as Big Data, Fundamentals and Exploiting Separation Science, (R)evolutions in Biopharmaceutical Analysis, Food and Drink, Environmental, Comprehensive Chromatography, and much more. The conference will include five plenary lectures, 16 keynote lectures, eight tutorial lectures, 48 oral presentations, and 24 early career researcher (ECR) presentations, as well as daily poster sessions.
The plenary lectures will be given by Rob Beynon (University of Liverpool, UK), Tuulia Hyötyläinen (Örebro University, Sweden), Eric Little (Othus Inc), Peter Schoenmakers (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and the recently announced Knox Medal winner, Peter Myers (University of Liverpool, UK). An up-to-date speaker list can be viewed at www.htc-conference.co.uk. The oral programme is complete, with over 40% of presentations from abstract submissions. The full programme is now online and includes a dedicated ECR programme as one of the three parallel sessions.
Conference registration is open at www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/registration/. Alongside the core scientific programme, the symposium is hosting an attractive technical exhibition where leading companies active in the field will present their latest developments in instrumentation, software, and applications related to the hyphenation of separation, detection, and sample preparation techniques topped with technical seminars. Nineteen companies have already signed up so if your company is interested in exhibiting at HTC-15 please follow www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/floorplan-booking/ to secure a place.
Cardiff is the closest capital city to London and Cardiff Airport is only a 20 minute journey, easily accessible by car or shuttle. Bristol International Airport is also only one hour away with fights from 112 different countries. Delegates travelling via London should remember to book your onwards journey to the event in advance. The organizers have secured an exclusive deal with Great Western Railway (GWR). This offers reduced rates for delegates travelling at any time to Cardiff Central Station from all main GWR stations, including London Paddington, as well as many connecting routes to Great Western Railway from the Home Counties. For more details visit www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/location-direction/.
The conference will be preceded by two short courses on 23 January 2018, Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: From Theory to (Industrial) Application, www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/sfc-shortcourse/ and Introduction to Biopharmaceutical Analysis, www.ilmexhibitions.com/htc/biopharma-shortcourse/.
The organizing committee look forward to welcoming you to HTC-15 in the historic city of Cardiff and to City Hall.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
