Agilent sponsors 2011 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry
Agilent Technologies has announced that it will be sponsoring the 2011 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry, to be presented at the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry in Zaragosa, Spain in January 2011.
Agilent Technologies has announced that it will be sponsoring the 2011 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry, to be presented at the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry in Zaragosa, Spain in January 2011.
The prize, which promotes analytical plasma spectrochemical developments and applications in Europe, is awarded for a single outstanding piece of work or for continued important contributions in the field.
"The Plasma Award is an important opportunity for researchers working in European labs to promote their work by delivering the opening lecture at the conference," said conference chairman, Juan R. Castillo.
According to the company, an independent panel of four prominent European scientists in plasma spectrochemistry and one from Agilent will select the winner.

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.
