The 2020 winners of the LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader Awards, Daniel W. Armstrong of the University of Texas at Arlington, and Szabolcs Fekete of the University of Geneva, will be honored in this Tuesday afternoon session, in room W183A.
The session will start with the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Armstrong by session chair Laura Bush, the editorial director of LCGC.
Armstrong’s work and achievements span a broad range of techniques and applications, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). He is particularly known for his seminal work in enantiomeric separations and ionic liquids. In his talk today, titled, “From Micelles, Chiral and Ionic Liquids to Ultrafast and Molecular Rotational Resonance Detection,” he will explore the connections between different areas of his research.
Jared Anderson of Iowa State University will then discuss the design and synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs), magnetic ionic liquids (MILs), and polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) and the use of these materials in a number of applications in multidimensional GC and sample preparation.
The desire for a universal detector is a holy grail in analytical chemistry. But what about combining multiple detectors? In the third talk of this session, Jim Luong of Dow will present his strategy that combines GC with ultraviolet, flame ionization, and mass spectrometry detection for volatile compound analysis.
At 3:40 pm, just after the break, the Emerging Leader Award will be presented to Fekete, who will then give a talk on an approach to achieving nearly infinite selectivity in protein separations by combining multi-isocratic gradients and coupled columns.
Alexandre Goyon of Genentech will close the session with a presentation on the analysis of therapeutic proteins. In particular, he will discuss approaches to enable the coupling of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and cation-exchange chromatography (CEX) to mass spectrometry, as well as multi-dimensional LC–MS with automated workflows.
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.
