Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley Dal Nogare Award
The 2016 Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley Dal Nogare Award will be presented to Stephen Weber, who is a Professor of Chemistry and Clinical Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh, on Monday morning at Pittcon 2016. The award will be presented by Mary Ellen McNally of EI DuPont de Nemours and Company. The Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley chooses award recipients based on their contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process. The award was established in honor of Stephen Dal Nogare, who died in 1968 after serving for six months as president of the Chromatography Forum.
Session 220 Room B312, 8:30 a.m. The 2016 Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley Dal Nogare Award will be presented to Stephen Weber, who is a Professor of Chemistry and Clinical Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh, on Monday morning at Pittcon 2016. The award will be presented by Mary Ellen McNally of EI DuPont de Nemours and Company. The Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley chooses award recipients based on their contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process. The award was established in honor of Stephen Dal Nogare, who died in 1968 after serving for six months as president of the Chromatography Forum. A session of oral presentations will follow the award presentation, with talks to be given by Weber on capillary liquid chromatography (LC) and its advantages and limitations, Peter W. Carr (University of Minnesota) on optimizing performance (plate count) in LC, Robert T. Kennedy (University of Michigan) on the use of metabolomics to investigate neurotransmitters and peptides in the brain, J. Michael Ramsey (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) on microfabricated fluidic separation devices interfaced to mass spectrometry through integrated nanoelectrospray ionization, and Dwight R. Stoll (Gustavus Adolphus College) on optimizing the second dimension in two-dimensional LC separations. Weber received a PhD in 1979 from McGill University for studying the theory and application of the electrochemical detector. His research involves analytical separations theory and application, and chromatographic detection and quantitation in bioanalytical chemistry, with a focus on neurochemistry.
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.
