The 44th International Symposium On Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) and 17th GC×GC Symposium will be held at the Palazzo dei Congressi, in Riva del Garda, Italy, from 24–29 May 2020.
The six-day event will feature recent findings from leading academic and industrial experts in the form of lectures and posters. Focusing on the most recent advances in the fields of pressure and electrodriven microcolumn separation techniques and comprehensive 2D-GC, this year will again have particular emphasis on comprehensive separation technologies combined with capillary chromatography and 2D-GC with various forms of mass spectrometry, from unit-mass to high resolution, and from single- to hybrid analyzers.
The conference also offers sessions on capillary GC, micro-column LC, electromigration methods, and microfabricated analytical systems, which are expected to cover lab-on-a-chip, column technology, coupled and multidimensional techniques, comprehensive techniques, hyphenated techniques, sampling and sample preparation, trace analysis, and automation. Application sessions include environmental; energy, petrochemical, industrial; biomedical, pharmaceutical; and the analysis of natural products, food, flavours, and fragrances. Workshop seminars from instrument manufacturers and an extensive exhibition will run in parallel to the scientific programme.

RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
Pharmaceutical excipients, such as polyethylene glycol-based polymers, must be tested for the presence of ethylene oxide (EtO) and 1,4-dioxane as part of a safety assessment, according to USP Chapter <228>.
Profiling Volatile Organic Compounds in Whisky with GC×GC–MS
November 1st 2024Researchers from Austria, Greece, and Italy conducted a study to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in Irish and Scotch whiskys using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC×GC–MS) to examine the organoleptic characteristics that influence the taste of spirits.
