The 2nd Copenhagen Symposium on Separation Sciences (CSSS 2018) will be held at DGI-Byen Hotel, Copenhagen, Denmark, from 26–27 June 2018.
The Copenhagen Symposium on Separation Sciences is the meeting point where separation scientists from the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and vendors interact. The scientiï¬c programme has been designed accordingly, featuring 18 invited plenary lectures by internationally leading scientists, submitted posters presented by participants, discussion sessions, and dinner. In addition, an exhibition of instruments, equipment, and consumables is an important and integrated part of the scientiï¬c programme. The invited talks by leading scientists will provide perspective, fundamentals, insight, and glimpses of how the field of separation sciences is developing.
Scientific sessions will include: the long-term perspective; recent progress in liquid-phase chromatography and electrophoresis; recent progress in microfluidics; recent progress in immunoaffinity techniques; forefront applications of mass spectrometry; forefront biopharmaceutical characterization; and ADME and pharmacometabolomics.
The first CSSS was organized in June 2016 with close to 100 participants. This very successful symposium was initiated by Professor Steen Honoré Hansen from the University of Copenhagen. Steen was a pioneer in separation sciences applied to pharmaceutics, but unfortunately, he passed away on 31 October 2017. The CSSS series will be organized to honour Steen and his great contribution to separation science.

Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
