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.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
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.
