34th International Symposium On Capillary Chromatography and the 7th GC×GC Symposium
Over the years, the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) has established its reputation as a forum for microcolumn separation techniques. Since the first meeting in Hindelang in 1975, the most important developments in capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography and electromigration techniques have been presented in this symposium series.
This year the Palazzo dei Congressi in Riva del Garda, Italy, will accommodate the 34th meeting from 1–4 June 2010. The four-day event will feature recent findings from leading academic and industrial experts in the form of lectures and posters. The conference offers sessions on capillary gas chromatography, microcolumn liquid chromatography, electromigration methods and microfabricated analytical systems, which are expected to cover lab-on-a-chip, column technology, coupled and multidimensional techniques, comprehensive techniques, hyphenated techniques, sampling and sample preparation, trace analysis and automation.
Application sessions include environmental applications, energy/petrochemical/industrial applications, biomedical/pharmaceutical applications and the analysis of natural products, food, flavours and fragrances. Workshop-seminars of instrument manufacturers and an extensive exhibition of instrumentation, accessories and supplies will run in parallel to the scientific programme.
At the meeting, the 2010 Marcel Golay Award will be presented in recognition of outstanding contributions in the field of separation science. Outstanding research work presented as oral or poster contributions by youngsters will be awarded with the Leslie Ettre Award for research on capillary gas chromatography applied to environmental or food analyses and with the Pfizer Awards for advances made in pharmaceutical and bio-analysis.
To encourage scientific exchange and friendship building, the scientific programme will be spiced with the well-known "Riva Social Programme", which consists of a welcome reception, cocktail party, classical concert, wine and cheese evening, disco night and farewell cocktail.
Considering the interest in comprehensive techniques, the 7th GC×GC Symposium will be organized during the same period to allow scientists to attend both meetings. The 7th GC×GC symposium will start on 30 May 2010 with a course presented by experts in the field covering the fundamental aspects of comprehensive techniques and a plenary session on 31 May 2010.
For both meetings, abstracts for consideration as lecture or poster presentations can be submitted on-line at www.richrom.com. All abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of scientific merit, novelty and practical application. Presenters at the meeting may also have their work published in a special volume of Journal of Chromatography A.

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.
Katelynn Perrault Uptmor Receives the 2025 LCGC Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award
Published: November 13th 2024 | Updated: November 13th 2024November 13, 2024 – LCGC International magazine has named Katelynn A. Perrault Uptmor, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the College of William & Mary, the recipient of the 2025 Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award. This accolade, which highlights exceptional achievements by early-career scientists, celebrates Perrault Uptmor’s pioneering work in chromatography, particularly in the fields of forensic science, odor analysis, and complex volatile organic compounds (VOCs) research.
