Event News
The HPLC symposium series is one of the premier conferences for liquid phase separations and related techniques. The conference has grown to become one of the largest meetings in the world dedicated to liquid phase separation science. This international meeting is multi-disciplinary and brings together many of the world's leading authorities to address the practical and economic aspects of separation science, as well as the challenges that lie ahead.
The 37th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2011 Dalian) will be held on 8–11 October 2011 in Dalian, China. The conference will take place at the Dalian World Expo Centre, Dalian, China, an exhibition hall which integrates services for exhibition, conference and performance.
HPLC 2011 Dalian will be comprised of plenary and keynote lectures, oral lectures, prominently featured poster presentations, and a comprehensive display of commercial products for separation scientists. The symposium will cover advances in all areas of liquid phase separations.
Currently more than 40 specially invited speakers from abroad have been confirmed, as well as more than 35 from mainland China and 5 from Taiwan. A list of prominent invited speakers can be found on the conference website.
Topics for HPLC 2011 Dalian will include Theory of Separation Science, featuring theoretical models and insights and data analysis and chemometrics; Advances in Liquid Phase Separation Technology, featuring column technology and stationary phases, monoliths and small particle technology, ultra-high pressure and high temperature chromatography, sample preparation methods and hyphenated separations such as LC–MS, CE–MS, LC–NMR and other hyphenated techniques; Applications in Life Sciences and Drug Discovery, featuring metabolomics, proteomics, glycomics, biomarker discovery and validation and pharmaceutical separations and analysis; and Other Applications, featuring food safety, environmental and agricultural analysis and polymer analysis.
Young scientists (under the age of 35) are encouraged to submit abstract for inclusion in the oral programme, and those that do can be considered for the PSC (Permanent Scientific Committee of HPLC Symposium) Young Scientist Award.
PSC Young Scientist Award aims to encourage the participation of young scientists in the HPLC symposium series and to recognise their contribution to the meeting.
In order to help the presence of young scientists to attend the HPLC 2011 Dalian symposium, travel awards sponsored by HPLC will be presented to students who will present either an oral or poster contribution at the symposium

SPME GC-MS–Based Metabolomics to Determine Metabolite Profiles of Coffee
November 14th 2024Using a solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME GC-MS)-based metabolomics approach, a recent study by the School of Life Sciences and Technology at Institut Teknologi Bandung (Indonesia) investigated the impact of environmental factors (including temperature, rainfall, and altitude) on volatile metabolite profiles of Robusta green coffee beans from West Java.
RP-HPLC Analysis of Polyphenols and Antioxidants in Dark Chocolate
November 13th 2024A recent study set out to assess the significance of geographical and varietal factors in the content of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and the antioxidant capacity of chocolate samples. Filtered extracts were analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) and spectrophotometric methods to determine individual phenolics and overall indexes of antioxidant and flavonoid content.
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.
