The Increasing Importance of Temperature in Liquid Chromatography
This Tuesday morning session will be presided over by Matthew R. Linford of Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah), who also arranged the session.
Session 960
Room 308C
This Tuesday morning session will be presided over by Matthew R. Linford of Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah), who also arranged the session.
The session will open with introductory remarks from Linford. The first presentation in the session, “The Role of Temperature in HPLC Selectivity,” will be given by LCGC “LC Troubleshooting” columnist and editorial advisory board member John Dolan of LC Resources. Dolan will discuss the power of temperature in controlling high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) selectivity and will look at how to avoid problems encountered if the temperature is improperly controlled.
Next, Linford will present a talk titled “Van’t Hoff Analysis in Liquid Chromatography Applied to Thermally Stable Materials.” His presentation will describe experiments performed at elevated temperature and high pH with a new thermally stable C18 stationary phase.
The next presentation, to be given by LCGC editorial advisory board member Peter Carr of the University of Minnesota, is titled “High Speed Two-Dimensional LC at Elevated Temperatures.” His talk will discuss the history and theory of high-temperature LC as a way to increase separation speed.
Frank L. Dohrman of The Pennsylvania State University (University Park, Pennsylvania) will then present a talk titled “Coupling the Hydrophobic Subtraction Model with Organic Modifiers and Elevated Temperature for Optimization of Selectivity and Efficiency.” His presentation will discuss the hydrophobic subtraction model and how it relates to retention mechanisms in HPLC at elevated temperatures.
The final presentation in the session will be given by a third LCGC editorial advisory board member, Pat Sandra of the Research Institute for Chromatography (Kortrijk, Belgium) and is titled “The Role of Temperature in HPLC Efficiency and Speed.” Sandra’s talk will discuss his laboratory’s research on optimizing separation speed and efficiency by selecting the correct temperature in reversed-phase LC, HILIC, and enhanced-fluidity LC.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
