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.
Additional information on the exhibition can be obtained from htc@ordibo.be

The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
