HPLC 2011
The HPLC 2011 Budapest Symposium will take place on 19–23 June 2011 at the Budapest Congress and World Trade Centre in Hungary. The symposium will be organized by the Hungarian Society for Separation Sciences.
The 36th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques is an international forum for scientific discussion of the methods of high performance liquid chromatography in its various forms, along with the complementary separation techniques such as electrophoresis, electrochromatography, field-flow fractionation, supercritical fluid chromatography, sample preparation and hyphenated techniques, such as LC–MS and CZE–MS. The field of microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip is also included.
At HPLC 2011 all kinds of application areas relevant to the use of liquid phase separations, as well as fundamental studies on advances in separation theories will be covered. Special emphasis will be put on current research areas characterized by innovative development. The HPLC symposia are definitely valuable resources for analytical chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists and those in the separation sciences seeking practical solutions.
The scientific programme will focus on state-of-the-art technology and the methodology of separation science. It will include plenary and keynote lectures. Lecturers both from academia and industry — at the forefront of the field — will present hot topics and state-of-the-art methods of separation science.
Discussions and exchange during poster sessions will constitute an essential and vital component of the symposium. The best poster presentations will be awarded prizes.
Short courses and tutorial lectures are an integral part of the scientific programme, which act as educational lectures for students and others new to various separation disciplines, and provide the opportunity to broaden one's understanding of separation science. Moreover, the short courses will provide the opportunity to meet and discuss separation problems with the real experts.
Exhibition and vendor seminars are intended to inform the participants about the latest developments in the field in terms of instrumentation, technology and applications.
The topics of HPLC 2011 include: Advances in Separation Techniques; Biomarker Discovery; Biopharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis; Chiral Separations; Clinical, Forensic and Toxicological Analysis; Column Technology and Stationary Phases; Data analysis and Chemometrics; Electrodriven Separations; Environmental Analysis; Food Safety; Agricultural Analysis; High-Temperature LC; Hyphenated Separations: LC–MS, CE–MS and LC–NMR; Industrial Aspects of Separations; Natural Product Analysis; New Instrumentation for LC; Oligonucleotide Separations; Planar Chromatography; Pharmaceutical Analysis; Polymer Analysis; Proteomics; Metabolomics; Glycomics; Retention Mechanisms and Retention Models; Sample Preparation; Theoretical Models and Insights; and Ultra-high Pressure LC.
The social programme of HPLC 2011 will include opening and closing receptions, symposium dinner, an organ concert and various optional activities.

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.
