The winner will be selected by the HTC scientific committee who will choose the winner based on the following criteria:
- The winner has made an innovative contribution to the field of separation science by introducing new methodologies, new instrumentation, or new techniques in the field with a strong focus on applicability.
- Applications are open to scientist under 45 years of age.
Applications from separation scientists worldwide are welcomed. LCGC Europe readers can also nominate potential winners. Please send your nominations and reasons for your selection to Alasdair.Matheson@ubm.com by 24 November 2017.
For 2018, the HTC conference series has moved from Ghent in Belgium to Cardiff in the UK. The meeting is organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry Separation Science Group together with the Royal Flemish Chemical Society. The programme includes topics such as Big Data, Fundamentals and Exploiting Separation Science, (R)evolutions in Biopharmaceutical Analysis, Food and Drink, Environmental, Comprehensive Chromatography, and many more. The next edition of the HTC conference will be held once more in Belgium.
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.
