Editor-in-chief of LCGC North America, Dave Walsh and Editorial Director of LCGC Europe, Peter Houston, will host these illuminating sessions.
Monday’s program begins at 10:00 a.m. with a session on Gas Chromatography. "GC Connections" columnist John Hinshaw will discuss the latest developments in High Speed GC and the advantages and concerns of using hydrogen as a carrier gas. Dan Armstrong, from the University of Texas at Arlington, will then be interviewed on 2D GC and Ionic Liquids. Dan is a pioneer in this field and an active member of LCGC’s editorial advisory board. He will reveal how the combination of 2D GC and ionic stationary phases could usher a new era in environmental, forensic, and metabolomic analysis using GC.
The afternoon session on HPLC/UHPLC kicks off with a talk by Merlin Bicking, from ACCTA Inc., on 2D/Fast LC. Merlin is president of this training and consultancy company and regularly contributes to the analytical literature. He will discuss practical aspects of implementing fast LC and UHPLC systems based on his experience of implementing these systems in different industries across the US. Peter Carr, from the University of Minnesota, will then discuss Fast GC. Carr is a leading luminary in the world of separation science and is also a member of LCGC’s editorial board. He leads a succesful team of researchers at the Carr Group, which specialises in developing novel stationary phases for HPLC and ultra fast high temperature liquid chromatography. The session closes with a talk by Apryl Stalcup, from the University of Cincinnati, enticingly entitled, "HPLC: Beyond Reverse and Normal phase."

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.
