LCGC Europe and HTC-17 Launch 2022 HTC Innovation Award
LCGC Europe, a leading multimedia platform of peer‐reviewed technical information in the field of chromatography and the separation sciences, is now accepting nominations for the 2022 HTC Innovation Award through to June 30, 2021.
The 2022 HTC Innovation Award winner will be selected by the HTC‐17 Scientific Committee and the HTC‐17 Industry Board, based on the following criteria:
- The winner has made a pioneering contribution to the field of separation sciences by introducing new methodologies, new instrumentation, or new techniques in the field, with a strong focus on applicability.
- Applications are open to scientists who have under 15 years of experience after completing their PhD.
- Applications from separation scientists worldwide are welcomed. LCGC Europe readers can nominate themselves or others.
The 2022 HTC Innovation Award recipient will be presented with a plaque honouring their accomplishment at the HTC‐17 conference, which will be held in Ghent, Belgium, at Het Pand, the culture and congress center of Ghent University, Jan. 26–28, 2022.

Determining Enhanced Sensitivity to Odors due to Anxiety-Associated Chemosignals with GC
May 8th 2025Based on their hypothesis that smelling anxiety chemosignals can, like visual anxiety induction, lead to an increase in odor sensitivity, a joint study between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Freising, Germany) combined behavioral experiments, odor profile analysis by a trained panel, and instrumental analysis of odorants (gas chromatography-olfactometry) and volatiles (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
