Eastern Analytical Symposium Summary
Summary of the Eastern Analytical Symposium 2015.
The 54th Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exhibition was once again held at Garden State Exhibition Centre in Somerset, New Jersey, USA, and proved to be another exceptional meeting of analytical chemists. There was a wide and varied programme of presentations, short courses, and posters on offer with a notable plenary lecture by Nobel Laureate Professor Kurt Wüthrich. The 2015 EAS President Oscar Liu described the Nobel Laureates talk as “inspiring” and was pleased with the “enthusiasm and energy of participants [who] kept the level of engagement high”. However, the EAS does not just exist to provide a venue for cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing, career development, and networking, but also to recognize those individuals who have advanced their respective fields in an exceptional manner. The following individuals were all deemed to have enhanced their fields of study with remarkable work:
2015 American Microchemical Society Benedetti Pichler Award - Apryll Stalcup, Dublin City University, Ireland.
2015 EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in Mass Spectrometry - Emile A. Schweikert, Texas A&M University, USA.
Outstanding Achievements in the Fields of Analytical Chemistry Award - Professor Chris Enke, Michigan State University, USA.
Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science Award - Professor David S. Hage, University of Nebraska, USA.
Pittcon 2025: Xiao Su Discusses His Work in Electrochemical Separations
March 13th 2025In this video interview with Xiao Su, he dives deeper into the research that he and his team are conducting with redox-active polymers and the applicability of electrochemical approaches in separation science.
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.
Pittcon 2025: Kate Perrault Uptmor Talks About Multidimensional GC and Mentorship
March 13th 2025In our interview with Kate Perrault Uptmor, we asked her about the resources available for those interested in learning more about multidimensional chromatography, and current trends happening in separation science that are of particular note.
Analyzing Effects of Adverse Cardiovascular Events on Chronic Kidney Disease with HPLC
March 13th 2025Researchers investigated the potential association between plasma apolipoprotein M (APOM) levels and the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Plasma sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
