Farewell to HPLC 2010
We have reached Day 3, the final day of LCGC's coverage from HPLC 2010, and somehow, it never fails to surprise us to find that we've concluded another week of coverage. However, HPLC still has plenty to offer, including another full day of technical sessions and exhibits tomorrow, so we hope you can take advantage of everything the conference has to offer in your remaining time.
We have reached Day 3, the final day of LCGC’s coverage from HPLC 2010, and somehow, it never fails to surprise us to find that we’ve concluded another week of coverage. However, HPLC still has plenty to offer, including another full day of technical sessions and exhibits tomorrow, so we hope you can take advantage of everything the conference has to offer in your remaining time.
The technical sessions this afternoon in particular promise to be informative and full of cutting-edge research, as “Systems Biology II” beginning at 4:30 pm in Ballroom A will not only provide interesting and intriguing presentations, it also will once again be full of some of LCGC’s most well-known regular authors. Milos Novotny will be presenting “Integrating Knowledge from Glycomic and Glycoproteomic Measurements in Disease Biomarker Discovery,” along with co-authors William Alley and Ben Mann, while LCGC EAB member Fred Regnier will be presenting “Chromatographic Analysis of Protein Complexes.” Round this off with LCGC EAB member Pat Sandra’s group presenting “An LC–MS-Based Lipodomics Platform for In-Depth Study of Biological Fluids in Tissues” (with Csaba Horvath Young Scientist Award Nominee Koen Sandra presenting), and we don’t think you can go wrong making this part of your schedule for the day.
Finally, even though there is a great deal of science and networking remaining in HPLC 2010, we would nonetheless like to wish all of this year’s conference-goers safe travels getting to your next destination. We hope you have enjoyed this daily resource on all that was happening at HPLC 2010 and in Boston, Massachusetts, because it has certainly been our pleasure bringing it to you. Please look for additional show coverage throughout the year from LCGC, at all of the industry’s biggest events.Happy traveling!
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.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
PFAS Analysis in Practice: A RAFA 2024 Interview with Stefan van Leuwen
January 10th 2025At the Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA) conference in 2024, LCGC International sat down with Stefan van Leuwen of Wageningen Food Safety Research to discuss his research, which addresses emerging challenges in circular food production, focusing on the risks posed by pollutants when waste and by-products are repurposed in food systems.
