A panel of experts discuss the latest trends in sample preparaion.
The Matrix Challenging Analytical Science Symposium will take place on 22-23 May 2013 at the British American Tobacco (BAT) Research Labs, Southampton, UK.
An integral part of the symposium will be the Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) AGM. ChromSoc is an internationally connected organization, and UK-registered charity, promoting and disseminating knowledge relating to all aspects of chromatography and related techniques. Another key feature of the symposium is the discussion of selected challenging, diverse and difficult-to-analyse matrices and analytes. Successful sample preparation methods and associated state-of-the-art instrumentation will be described by leading experts in their respective fields.
A number of special guest speakers have been invited to speak, including:
To encourage social networking between delegates, presenters and exhibitors, an evening social event will be organized in Southampton. BAT will offer a laboratory tour and open their specialist historical exhibition attraction to all attendees during the symposium.
The conference is targeted at laboratory, industrial and forensic analysts faced with problems of selectivity, specificity and sensitivity in matrices that are difficult to prepare and process, according to the organisers. Manufacturers of analytical instrumentation and scientists could also find the conference useful.
Registration fees include meals and refreshments supplied at the symposium. ChromSoc bursaries are available for bona-fide students to assist them in attending this symposium.

Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
University of Oklahoma and UC Davis Researchers Probe Lipidomic Profiles with RP-LC–HRMS/MS
May 6th 2025A joint study between the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) and the UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center (Davis, California) identified differentially regulated lipids in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity through the application of reversed-phase liquid chromatography-accurate mass tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-accurate MS/MS).
