Magazine is pleased to announce the addition of Michael W. Dong, PhD, to its editorial advisory board.
Dong is a senior scientist in the Small Molecule Drug Discovery group at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA), a position he has held since 2007. He formerly served as a research director at Synomics Pharma (Wareham, MA), a research fellow at Purdue Pharma (Cranbury, NJ), a senior staff scientist at Applied Biosystems/PerkinElmer (Foster City, CA), and a section head in Hoechst Celanese (Bridgewater, NJ).
Don has conducted training courses at national meetings (ACS, Pittcon, EAS AAPS, HPLC) on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in pharmaceutical analysis and Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, HPLC method development, ultra high-pressure LC, the drug development process for scientists, and drug quality. His publishing credentials include more than 80 publications in chromatography and analytical chemistry. He has authored a bestseller in chromatography, Modern HPLC for Practicing Scientists (Wiley, 2006) and co-edited Handbook of Pharmaceutical Analysis by HPLC (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2005).
Dong received his doctorate in analytical chemistry from the City University of New York, and a certificate in biotechnology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Maximizing Cannabinoid Separation for Potency Testing with LC
April 7th 2025Researchers from the Department of Chemistry at Western Illinois University (Macomb, Illinois) conducted a study to optimize the separation of 18 cannabinoids for potency testing of hemp-based products, using liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (LC–DAD). As part of our monthlong series of articles pertaining to National Cannabis Awareness Month, LCGC International spoke to Liguo Song, the corresponding author of the paper stemming from this research, to discuss the study and its findings.
How Many Repetitions Do I Need? Caught Between Sound Statistics and Chromatographic Practice
April 7th 2025In chromatographic analysis, the number of repeated measurements is often limited due to time, cost, and sample availability constraints. It is therefore not uncommon for chromatographers to do a single measurement.
