One of the main highlights of the chromatography calendar, HPLC 2023—which was held in Düsseldorf this year—kicked off on Sunday 18 June 2023. The event was a success in terms of attendance and attracted 1240 participants.
After an introduction from this year’s organizers—Oliver Schmidt from the University of Duisberg-Essen, Germany, and Michael Lämmerhofer from the University of Tübingen, Germany—Tony Edge from The Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc), UK, presented the 2023 Martin Medal to Janusz Pawliszyn from the University of Waterloo, Canada. The Jubilee Awards for 2021 and 2022 were given to Dwight Stoll from Gustavus Adolphus College, USA, and Martin Gilar from Waters, respectively.
Thomas H. Walter from Waters then received the Uwe D. Neue Award in Separation Science, which was presented by Martin Gilar from Waters. Finally, Gunda Köllensperger from the University of Vienna, Austria, presented the J.F.K Huber Lecture Award of the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry to Deirdre Cabooter from KU Leuven, Belgium.

LCGC’s Year in Review: Highlights in Liquid Chromatography
December 20th 2024This collection of technical articles, interviews, and news pieces delves into the latest innovations in LC methods, including advance in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and multidimensional LC.
Next Generation Peak Fitting for Separations
December 11th 2024Separation scientists frequently encounter critical pairs that are difficult to separate in a complex mixture. To save time and expensive solvents, an effective alternative to conventional screening protocols or mathematical peak width reduction is called iterative curve fitting.
Mobile Phase Buffers in Liquid Chromatography: A Review of Essential Ideas
December 11th 2024In this installment of "LC Troubleshooting," Dwight Stoll discusses several essential principles related to when and why buffers are important, as well as practical factors, such as commonly used buffering agents, that are recommended for use with different types of detectors.
