Interlaken, Switzerland
The 5th HIC/RPC Bioseparation Conference takes place at the Lindner Grand Hotel Beau Rivage Palace, Interlaken, Switzerland from 20–23 March 2007 and is co-ordinated by Tosoh Bioscience GmbH. It is designed to provide a forum for in-depth discussion on industrial downstream processing.
Today's most challenging elements of modern downstream processing are the continuous increase in expression levels in fermentation and cell culture, the tough demands for purity and recovery of biopharmaceuticals and the highly competitive environment. The conference will present and discuss potential solutions for these problems using hydrophobic interaction and reversed-phase chromatography. The broad range of hydrophobic ligands coupled to polymeric or silica-based matrices provides new tools to develop high-quality products with high process throughput. The practical elements of chromatographic development and implementation will be balanced by panel and individual discussions about novel approaches and theories. This will provide a deeper understanding of molecular interactions and improved process design for hydrophobic interaction and reversed-phase purification steps.
The following areas will be covered in both the lectures and poster sessions:
- fundamentals and background of HIC/RPLC
- new concepts in column chromatography
- process application and optimisation
- novel stationary phases
- validation of chromatograaphy.
Interlaken can easily be reached by car or train. Direct rail links exist from Zurich and Geneva airports with trains leaving every hour.

Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry Training Courses
Various locations throughout the UK
Crawford Scientific is offering a number of practical training courses in chromatography and mass spectrometry throughout 2007.
These short interactive courses cover fundamental HPLC, LC troubleshooting and maintenance, fundamental GC, GC troubleshooting and maintenance, LC–MS, LC–MS interpretation, GC–MS, GC–MS interpretation, practical LC–MS, practical LC troubleshooting, practical HPLC method development, practical GC troubleshooting and practical GC–MS. Locations include Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Reading. The courses aim to teach the absolute essentials of each technique and use multi-media examples and tutorial exercises.
The courses are designed for practising analytical chemists who need a refresher, those new to analytical chemistry who require a solid grounding or for anyone wishing to gain an insight into important chromatographic and spectrometric techniques. They are limited to 20 delegates so that individuals may participate in tutorial and interactive sessions.

Measuring Procyanidin Concentration in Wines Using UHPLC
January 24th 2025Researchers from the University of Bordeaux (Villenave d'Ornon, France) report the development and validation of a rapid and quantitative analytical method measuring crown procyanidin concentration in red and white wines using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
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.
Testing Solutions for Metals and PFAS in Water
January 22nd 2025When it comes to water analysis, it can be challenging for labs to keep up with ever-changing testing regulations while also executing time-efficient, accurate, and risk-mitigating workflows. To ensure the safety of our water, there are a host of national and international regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO), and the European Union (EU) that demand stringent testing methods for drinking water and wastewater. Those methods often call for fast implementation and lengthy processes, as well as high sensitivity and reliable instrumentation. This paper explains how your ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and LC-MS-MS workflows can be optimized for compliance with the latest requirements for water testing set by regulations like US EPA methods 200.8, 6010, 6020, and 537.1, along with ISO 17294-2. It will discuss the challenges faced by regulatory labs to meet requirements and present field-proven tips and tricks for simplified implementation and maximized uptime.
