Ex-tech-10 and HTC-10
The Tenth International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography and Chromatographic Analysers (HTC-10) will be held in Bruges, Belgium, from 30 January to 1 February. The event commemorates 20 years of dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field.
The Tenth International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography and Chromatographic Analysers (HTC-10) will be held in Bruges, Belgium, from 30 January to 1 February. The event commemorates 20 years of dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field.
HTC-10 will again cover all the fundamental aspects, instrumental developments and applications of the various hyphenated chromatographic techniques (e.g., coupling of GC or LC to LC, GC and SFC/SFE; MS, FTIR, AED and other techniques coupled with GC, HPLC, SFC, CZE, CEC and FFF; PTV–GC–MS; on-line air traps-, purge- and trap, extractorsand GPC–GC (or LC); LC to NMR, Raman, FIA–DAD, light scattering; ITP–MS etc.). Emphasis will also be placed on sample introduction, miniaturization, micro-fabricate analytical devices and on the design of hyphenated, on-line and at-line chromatographic analysers.
ExTech-10 is a symposium series highlighting new extraction technologies for chemical and biochemical analysis in laboratory and on-site settings. The general focus is on solvent free sample preparation including methods for rapid and selective enrichment prior to analysis and micro-sample preparation. Major emphasis will be placed on the fundamental understanding of extraction processes that result in greater selectivity and efficiency in method development, and a rationalization of method selection for specific applications. On-site environmental methods and biomedical applications will be covered. The 2008 edition will focus especially on passive sampling methods, use of molecular imprinted polymers, biologically modified sorbents, novel coatings and sorbent materials.
Additionally, on Wednesday 30 January, a special one day conference on Public Safety and Security emphasizing the Hyphenated Chromatographic approach will be held. On this day, both the sample preparation problems and the analytical methodologies developed for the continuing public protection will be discussed. This symposium will highlight new sampling, sample-preparation, derivatization, sample-introduction and hyphenated chromatographic techniques for forensic research and for the detection and analysis of chemical and biological warfare agents and their degradation products.
From Wednesday 30 January until Friday 1 February, there will also be a large integrated exhibition of scientific posters and commercial instrumentation, consumables and services.

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.
