The International Symposium for High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC 2017) will take place in Berlin, Germany, 4–8 July 2017.
Progress and innovation are rarely found on the well-trodden path of a known scientific routine, according to the organizers, and inspiration comes from the cross-pollination of ideas from multiple fields and institutions. It is this spirit of science that the organizers seek to evoke at HPTLC 2017. Visitors can see firsthand the continuing evolution of highâperformance thin-layer chromatography into a modern and powerful tool with broad applicability throughout laboratory science.
If you are interested in what HPTLC could do for your laboratory, or simply want to update your understanding of methods using this technique, then HPTLC 2017 is the venue for you. The symposium showcases the most up-toâdate research methods with the latest proven applications, highlighting recent instrumental advances as well as advances in automation and data analysis. A series of advanced training courses in cutting-edge techniques are also available, along
with a social programme to promote networking and contact with thought leaders.
Food chemists can obtain 30 ZFL credit points when visiting HPTLC 2017. The AK Separation Science of the GDCh division Analytical Chemistry offers funding for poster presenters. Last minute poster presentations will still be accepted and included in the book of abstracts.

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
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.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
