ISC 2008 — A Forum on Separation Sciences
ISC 2008 — the 27th International Symposium on Chromatography will be held from 21–25 September 2008 in Münster, Germany.
Organized by the separation science working party of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and GDCh's Congress Team. ISC 2008 is being chaired by Uwe Karst from the University of Münster and supported by the British Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) and the French Association Francophone des Sciences Séparatives (AfSep).
ISC is the oldest series of scientific meetings devoted to the field of chromatographic science and was launched in London in 1956. It is an international forum for scientific discussion of all methods of chromatography, as well as complementary techniques such as electrodriven separations, coupling techniques with mass spectrometry (MS) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and microscale separations. The symposium is held biannually in different European countries.
Eminent figures in the international separation science sector will contribute to the symposium programme by giving plenary lectures on the most recent developments in their fields. ISC 2008 will have parallel sessions to cover a broad spectrum of chromatographic topics. including gas chromatography, column liquid chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, multidimensional chromatography, hyphenated techniques, chromatographic fundamentals, fast separations, column technology, electrodriven separations, microscale separations, supercritical fluid chromatography, enantioseparations, new detection methods, sample preparation, industrial and process chromatography, environmental applications, speciation analysis, chromatographic applications in food, clinical and pharmaceutical analysis, life-sciences applications, bioanalysis, forensic analysis, as well as the characterization of polymers.
There will also be poster sessions from young scientists presenting and discussing their results in a pleasant atmosphere.
A vendor exhibition will display the most recent developments in the fields of instrumentation, column technology, sample preparation, software tools and many other features related to separation sciences. Short courses, workshops and vendor seminars shall also be part of the symposium programme and will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the most recent developments in all fields of chromatography.
After a hard day's work there will be time for relaxation in the evenings, including a symposium evening at Münster zoo, which is close to Lake Aasee, followed by a townhall reception in the historic centre of Münster. A series of "surprise" events will be revealed at the opening of ISC 2008.
The deadline for last-minute poster submissions and early-bird registration is 31 July 2008! Abstract submission and symposium registration can be made on www.isc2008.de

Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
