Webinar Date/Time: Thu, Feb 15, 2024 11:00 AM EST
Unlock the secrets to efficient method development in our upcoming webcast! Delve into the intricacies of mobile phase composition, exploring topics like reversed phase retention mechanisms, solvent selection dilemmas, eluotropic strength shortcuts, and much more. Join us as we unravel the science behind achieving optimal resolution in record time – a must for every chromatographer.
Event Overview:
This webcast will look at strategies for optimizing mobile phase composition in order to achieve the required resolution in the minimum amount of time. This is, of course, the primary goal of everyone undertaking method development. The chemistry of the aqueous and organic portions of the mobile phase will be studied, and we will discuss how to use these components to affect retention and improve the selectivity and resolution within our separations.

Professor and the Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
The University of Texas at Arlington
Kevin A. Schug is Professor and the Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). He is also Director of the Collaborative Laboratories for Environmental Analysis and Remediation (CLEAR) at UTA. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry in 1998 from the College of William and Mary, and his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Virginia Tech in 2002 under the direction of Prof. Harold M. McNair. From 2003-2005, he performed post-doctoral research at the University of Vienna in Austria with Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Lindner.
Since joining UTA in 2005, his research has been focused on the theory and application of separation science and mass spectrometry for solving a variety of analytical and physical chemistry problems, in the fields of environmental, pharmaceutical, biological, and energy research. He has over 200 peer-reviewed publications and over 600 presentations, posters, and invited talks to his group’s credit. He has been the primary mentor and research advisor to more than 30 graduate and 80 undergraduate students. Dr. Schug has received several research awards, including the 2009 Emerging Leader Award in Chromatography by LCGC Magazine and the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Young Investigator in Separation Science Award. He was named to the 2019 and the 2021 The Analytical Scientist’s Top 100 Power List of the most influential analytical chemists in the world. For his teaching, he received the 2014 University of Texas System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award and in 2017, was awarded the J. Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Analytical Chemistry Education by the American Chemical Society. He is a Fellow of both the University of Texas System’s and U.T. Arlington’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers.

RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
