June–July 2007
HPLC Workshops
Reading and Manchester, UK
A series of one-day workshops, sponsored by Hichrom Limited, will take place at the Madejski Stadium in Reading and the Copthorne Hotel in Manchester.
The courses are being led by David Carr who has been involved in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) since 1971.
An acknowledged HPLC expert, David Carr has developed several courses for understanding the basic principles of HPLC and the important aspects of reversed-phase method development.
This short one-day course introduces scientists to the basic concepts and operational principles of high performance liquid chromatography, with an emphasis on reversed-phase HPLC. No previous HPLC training is assumed.
Reversed-phase method development is looked upon as a mystery by many chromatographers. This course guides chromatographers through each step of the pathway that leads to achieving good resolution. The course will be
especially valuable to those with some chromatography experience who are either unfamiliar with method development or wish to improve their existing strategies.
This course is designed for scientists involved in the pharmaceutical field, especially those involved with the analysis or characterisation of protein herapeutic drugs. No previous experience of HPLC is necessary.
This course is designed to assist chromatographers in reducing analysis costs and increasing laboratory throughput by developing faster, more reproducible HPLC assays in a time effective manner. Much of the course will appeal to the more experienced chromatographer intending to improve existing methods or developing new methods.
A training brochure with further details on all of these courses and others is available. For your copy or for more information on any of the above
seminars please contact Peggy Lloyd on tel: 0118 930 3660, fax: 0118 932 3484 or e-mail: seminars@hichrom.co.uk
HPLC 2007
Ghent, Belgium
HPLC 2007, the premier meeting for liquid phase separations and related
techniques, will take place from 17–21 June in the International Convention Centre, Ghent, Belgium.
Ghent has all the assets of a Metropolis in a cosy university town located in the heart of Flanders, Belgium.
The programme will include plenary and keynote lectures, prominently featured poster presentations, an exhibition displaying the latest instrumental innovations in separation science and related subjects and a highly attractive social programme offering opportunities to meet with world renowned scientists.

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.
2024 EAS Awardees Showcase Innovative Research in Analytical Science
