Janusz Pawliszyn Wins the Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award
The 2017 Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award has been presented to Janusz Pawliszyn of the University of Waterloo, Canada.
The 2017 Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award has been presented to Janusz Pawliszyn of the University of Waterloo, Canada. The award is presented by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh and is presented in recognition of an individual’s contributions to the field of analytical chemistry.
Pawliszyn's research focuses on the design of highly automated and integrated instrumentation for the isolation of analytes from complex matrices and the subsequent separation, identification, and determination of these species. His research is currently focused on the elimination of organic solvents from the sample preparation step to facilitate on-site monitoring and in vivo analysis. He is also exploring the application of computational and modelling techniques to enhance performance of sample preparation, chromatographic separations, and detection. His major area of interest involves the development and application of imaging detection techniques. He is also on the LCGC Europe editorial advisory board.
Measuring Vitamin K1 Concentrations in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathy Using LC–MS/MS
May 14th 2025A joint study between the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) compared directly measured vitamin K1 (vitK1) concentrations in healthy dogs and dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS); they also investigated whether supplementation of vitK1 in dogs with CE would significantly increase vitK1 concentrations.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Fundamentally Speaking (Part 2)
May 14th 2025Michael Lämmerhofer from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tübingen, Germany, spoke to JFK Huber Lecture Award winner of 2024 Torgny Fornstedt, professor in analytical chemistry and leader of the Fundamental Separation Science Group, Karlstad University, Sweden, about his pioneering work in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a focus on fundamentals, ion-pair chromatography, and oligonucleotide applications.
