For the first time symposium from ISC series will be organized in Toruń (Poland).
It will be devoted to the role and applications of modern separation techniques in all their application areas. The theme of this event is ‘Chromatography & Separation Science; Past, Present and Future’.
Symposium’ scientific program will consist of: 15 plenary lectures, 45 keynote lectures, 15 short oral presentations, 6 tutorials lectures and almost 600 poster presentations. All in the framework of 20 lectures sessions and 7 poster sessions.
The main purpose of the 29th ISC will be offer an opportunity to participants to learn more about the current progress in chromatography and other separations techniques, hyphenation as well as sample preparation applied to the analytical, preparative and industrial purposes.
Additionally, an exhibition of equipments, columns, accessories, chemicals and literature on various separation techniques will be organized. Moreover, 6 vendor seminars and 7 workshops will take place.
The symposium is supported by the European Society for Separation Science, the Central European Group for Separation Science and the Nordic Separation Science Society and the Polish Chemical Society.
As the 29th ISC Chairman I would like to invite you to join us and visit Toruń.
Professor Boguslaw Buszewski
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
Analyzing New Drug Modalities: An ISC 2024 Interview with Kelly Zhang
January 10th 2025At ISC 2024 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, LCGC International interviewed Kelly Zhang of Genentech about her work analyzing new drug modalities, such as mRNA, oligonucleotides, peptides, and cell and gene therapies.
