James Grinias Receives the ACS Analytical Division Satinder Ahuja Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science
James Grinias
The ACS Analytical Division Satinder Ahuja Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science will be presented to James Grinias on April 11 at 1:00 pm EDT at an awards session taking place virtually at Pittcon 2022. Grinias is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Rowan University (Glassboro, New Jersey). The award recognizes and encourages outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer from academia, industry, or national laboratories.
Grinias’s research interests are focused on liquid-phase separations, especially the fundamentals of column and instrument design in liquid chromatography (LC). With his research group at Rowan, Grinias has published 22 papers about instrument design and miniaturization, superficially porous particles (SPPs), and fast LC. He has published 32 papers with 607 citations on Google Scholar, an h-index of 12, and an i10 index of 14. He has also presented more than 80 oral and poster presentations at scientific conferences.
During the session, Grinias will present a talk titled “Chromatographic Approaches to Measuring Pharmaceutical and Biological Compounds.” He will explore how a variety of advances in LC columns and instrumentation have enabled improved capabilities for measuring pharmaceutical and biological analytes in a broad array of sample types.

Grinias is also the 2022 recipient of the LCGC Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award, and will receive that award on March 28.
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
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.
