HPLC 2015 — The 42nd International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques
HPLC 2015 - The 42nd International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques
HPLC 2015 - The 42nd International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques - will be held from 21–25 June at the International Conference Center (CICG) in Geneva, Switzerland, hosted by the Division Analytical Sciences of the Swiss Chemical Society. Separation science, and liquid chromatography (LC) in particular, plays a key role in a number of fields including environmental science food science, systems biology, medicine, bioanalysis, and quality control. Exciting new developments in hardware and fundamentals, miniaturization, multidimensional separations, sample preparation, and mass spectrometric (MS) detection have become key topics in the field. To cover all of these aspects, the conference will be organized around three main parallel sessions covering: 1) Core Separation Technology: Understanding the Fundamentals to Drive Innovation; 2) Hyphenated and Multidimensional Separations: Multidimensional LC, Mass Spectrometry, and Related Detection Methods; and 3) High Impact Sample Preparation Separation and Detection: On the Edge of Current and Future Applications. A fourth session will be dedicated to tutorials and short oral contributions (5 min) from selected posters.
Leading scientists from all over the world will present exciting and motivating plenary, keynotes, and tutorial lectures. Selected speakers include: Robert Kennedy (University of Michigan, USA); Peter Jenny (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland); Jack Henion (Ithaca, NY, USA); Ruedi Aebersold (ETHZ, Zürich, Switzerland); Mary J. Wirth (University of Purdue, USA); Peter Schoenmakers (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands); Emily Hilder (University of Tasmania, Australia); Guowang Xu (University of Dalian, China); Luigi Mondello (University of Messina, Italy); and Thomas Hankemeier (University of Leiden, The Netherlands). A special session will be dedicated to the late Georges Guiochon to pay respect and honour his lifelong contributions to separation science.
Beside a strong scientific programme the conference will hold a large instrumentation, software, and consumables exhibition. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in lunchtime seminars to learn the latest developments from the exhibitors. One-day short courses will also be offered on Sunday 21 June 2015. A significant amount of time will be dedicated to the poster sessions where the participants can present their latest results and interact face-to-face with scientists from all over the world.
The conference will also recognize the contributions of young scientists with the Csaba Horváth Award that honours the memory of Csaba Horváth and recognizes his contributions to HPLC. Travel awards are available from the conference organizers as well as from various supporting scientific organizations and young scientists are encouraged to apply. High level scientific contributions that will be awarded during the conference include: the Widmer-Simon Award, the Uwe D. Neue Award, and the ChromSoc Award.
An exciting social programme awaits the participants. Geneva is easily accessible from all major European cities and offers a wide range of accommodation for different budgets. HPLC 2015 in Geneva will offer a unique event to present the latest developments in fundamentals and applications in the separation sciences, stimulating scientific exchanges, synergies, and cooperation in a friendly environment. The poster submission deadline is open until 1 April 2015.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
