Chris Pohl Receives EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science
The EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science was awarded to Christopher Pohl at EAS on 12 November.
The EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science was awarded to Christopher Pohl at EAS on 12 November. Pohl is the vice president of chromatography chemistry in the chromatography and mass spectrometry division of Thermo Fisher Scientific. Prior to the acquisition of Dionex Corporation by Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2011, Pohl was the senior vice president of research and development and the chief science officer at Dionex. Prior to joining Dionex, Pohl worked at the Clorox Technical Center and at Chevron Chemical. Pohl is the author or co-author of five book chapters and more than 100 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. He is an author or co-author of 85 U.S. patents with numerous foreign equivalents in a number of areas including separation methods, stationary phase design, suppressor technology, solidâphase extraction, capillary electrophoresis techniques, and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). Pohl’s most significant accomplishments include the initial development of high pH anionâexchange chromatography for the separation of carbohydrates via anion exchange, the development of hydroxideâselective phases suitable for gradient ion chromatography applications, the development of membrane suppressor technology, the development of ASE, where he was the primary inventor, and the development of hyperbranched anionâexchange condensation polymer synthesis technology.

November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
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.
