Monday Morning Session: Monoliths I
Emily Hilder of the University of Tasmania (Australia) - and LCGC Editorial Advisory Board member - will chair this Monday morning session in room HEC-A, Hilton Exhibition Center (second floor of the Hilton). The session will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Emily Hilder of the University of Tasmania (Australia) — and LCGC Editorial Advisory Board member — will chair this Monday morning session in room HEC-A, Hilton Exhibition Center (second floor of the Hilton). The session will begin at 9:00 a.m.
The session’s first presentation will be given by Frantisek Svec of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley, California). The title of Svec’s presentation is “Monolithic Columns Functionalized with Metal Nanoparticles for Rapid and Efficient Separations.”
Svec’s presentation will be followed by a study presented by Nobuo Tanaka of GL Sciences (Iruma, Japan). Tanaka’s presentation is titled “Performance of Small-Sized Monolithic Silica Columns Under Practical Operation Conditions.”
Kristof Hormann of the University of Philipps-Universität Marburg (Marburg, Germany) will present the next talk, titled “Analytical Silica Monoliths with Submicron Macropores: Current Limitations to a Direct Morphology–Column Efficiency Scaling.”
The final talk in this Monday session is titled “Assessing Structural Properties of Polymer Monoliths through Performance Characterization in the Chromatography of Large and Small Molecules.” It will be presented by Ivo Nischang of Johannes Kepler University (Leonding, Austria).
Hormann and Nischang are finalists for consideration of the 2014 Csaba Horváth Young Scientist Award.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Frontage Laboratories Streamlines their Product Lifecycle Management with NuGenesis™ LMS
January 9th 2025Frontage laboratories wanted to improve the efficiency and quality of their operations and invest in ways to streamline their workflows. They implemented Waters NuGenesis™ Lab Management System (LMS) to progress their digital transformation journey and combine synergistic data, workflow, and sample management capabilities to support the entire product lifecycle from discovery through manufacturing.
