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.
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.
