Ronald E. Majors, a senior chemist at Agilent and LCGC's "Column Watch" and "Sample Preperation Perspectives" columnist, received the Chromatographic Society's 2007 Martin Gold Medal at HPLC 2008. The award, named after the Nobel Prize winner A.J.P. Martin, was presented by Professor W. John Lough, president of the Chromatographic Society of the United Kingdom.
Majors has contributed significantly to separation science research through the years, including his work in HPLC column technology, particle size studies, packing methodologies, and chemically bonded phases. He was the first to efficiently pack 5-m particles into high performance columns and was responsible for the introduction of the first commercial microparticulate column.
LCGC’s Year in Review: Highlights in Liquid Chromatography
December 20th 2024This collection of technical articles, interviews, and news pieces delves into the latest innovations in LC methods, including advance in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and multidimensional LC.
Next Generation Peak Fitting for Separations
December 11th 2024Separation scientists frequently encounter critical pairs that are difficult to separate in a complex mixture. To save time and expensive solvents, an effective alternative to conventional screening protocols or mathematical peak width reduction is called iterative curve fitting.
