36th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography
The 36th meeting of the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) will take place at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Riva del Garda, Italy, from 27 May to 1 June 2012.
The 36th meeting of the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) will take place at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Riva del Garda, Italy, from 27 May to 1 June 2012. The four-day event will feature recent findings from leading academic and industrial experts in the form of lectures and posters. The conference offers sessions on capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography, electromigration methods and microfabricated analytical systems. These are expected to cover lab-on-a-chip, column technology, coupled and multidimensional techniques, comprehensive techniques, hyphenated techniques, sampling and sample preparation and trace analysis and automation.
Application sessions include environmental applications, energy/petrochemical/industrial applications, biomedical/pharmaceutical applications and the analysis of natural products, food, flavours and fragrances. Workshop seminars of instrument manufacturers and an extensive exhibition of instrumentation, accessories and supplies will run in parallel to the scientific programme.
At the meeting, the 2012 Marcel Golay Award will be presented in recognition of outstanding contributions in the field of separation science. Outstanding research work presented as oral or poster contributions by scientists 35 years and younger will be awarded the Leslie Ettre Award for research on capillary gas chromatography applied to environmental or food analyses.
The well-known "Riva Social Programme", which consists of a welcome reception, cocktail party, classical concert, cheese and wine evening, disco night and farewell cocktail, will also take place.

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.
