LCGC Magazine is pleased to announce the addition of David S. Bell to its editorial advisory board.
Over the past 20 years, Bell has worked directly in the chromatography industry, focusing his efforts on the design, development, and application of chromatographic stationary phases to advance liquid chromatography and related hyphenated techniques.
He is a research and development manager in the HPLC Surface Chemistry and Health Sciences Research department at Sigma-Aldrich/Supleco.
Bell’s main objectives have been to create and promote novel liquid chromatography (LC) technologies and to conduct research on molecular interactions that contribute to retention and selectivity in an array of chromatographic processes. His research results have been presented in numerous symposia worldwide, and have resulted in several peer-reviewed journal and trade magazine articles.
Bell’s undergraduate studies were done at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh). He received his PhD in analytical chemistry from The Pennsylvania State University (State College, Pennsylvania) and spent the first decade of his career in the pharmaceutical industry performing analytical method development and validation employing various forms of chromatography and electrophoresis.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
University of Oklahoma and UC Davis Researchers Probe Lipidomic Profiles with RP-LC–HRMS/MS
May 6th 2025A joint study between the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) and the UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center (Davis, California) identified differentially regulated lipids in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity through the application of reversed-phase liquid chromatography-accurate mass tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-accurate MS/MS).
