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.

The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
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.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
