Session 1060
Room 207C
This Tuesday morning session will be presided over by Matthew Klee of Agilent Technologies (Wilmington, Delaware), who also arranged the session. Capillary gas chromatography (GC) continues to be a workhorse separations technique in the analytical laboratory.
The session will open with introductory remarks from Klee. The first presentation in the session, “Characterization of Ionic Liquids for Chemical Analysis,” will be given by Daniel Armstrong of the University of Texas (Arlington). Armstrong, known for his work with chiral stationary phases, will discuss ionic liquids, which have received increasing attention in fields such as organic chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry, and engineering.
Next, John V. Seeley of Oakland University (Rochester, Michigan) will present a talk titled “Rational Stationary Phase Selection for Effective GCxGC Group-Type Separations.” Multidimensional GC separation techniques have been employed more widely, especially with the commercialization of the technology.
The next presentation, to be given by Aviv Amirav of Tel Aviv University, is titled “Pushing the Performance Envelope of Gas Chromatography — From Sample Collection to Data Analysis.” Amirav’s research interests include novel analytical instrumentation for detecting and analyzing pollutants in the environment as well as pharmaceuticals and drugs in biological fluids.
Milton L. Lee of Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) will then present “Gas Chromatographic Sampling Technologies for Speed and Portability.” Lee’s areas of study have ranged from analytical, bioanalytical, and environmental research to techniques such as capillary chromatography, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and microfluidics.
The final presentation in the session will be given by Jim Luong of The Dow Chemical Company (Midland, Michigan) and is titled “Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography and Capillary Flow Technology — Practical Industrial Applications.” Luong will further demonstrate the benefits of multidimensional separation.
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.
