Matthew Crowe, of Dow Chemical (Midland Michigan), will preside over six Monday morning oral sessions on “Emerging Environmental Contaminants.” The sessions will take place in Exhibit Hall AB between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
The first presentation, starting at 8:30 a.m., will be by Ryan P. Rodgers, of the Florida State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (Tallahassee, Florida). The title of Rodgers’ talk is “Environmental Petroleomics: Characterizations of 105 Biotic and Abiotic Petroleum Transformation Products Four Years after the Deepwater Horizon Disaster.”
At 8:50 a.m., Chi Li Yu, of the Proteomics Facility at the University of Iowa (Iowa City, Iowa), will follow Rodgers with a talk titled “Subtractive Proteomics Reveals Novel Enzymes Induced in Rare Caffeine-Degrading Microorganisms.”
Next up at 9:10 a.m. will be Bryan Bzdek, of the University of Delaware (Newark Delaware), who will give a presentation titled “Silicon is a Nearly Ubiquitous Component of Ambient Nanoparticles.”
Jeffrey Gilbert, of Dow AgroSciences (Indianapolis, Indiana), will follow Bzdek at 9:30 a.m. with a presentation titled “Identification of Environmental Metabolites Using Combined High Resolution UPLC-QqTOF and Ultra High Resolution NanoLC-QqITOT Based Approaches.”
The session will continue with a talk at 9:50 a.m. given by James Riedeman, of Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana), titled “Terminal and Internal Alkyne Functionalities in Asphaltenes.”
The final presentation of this session will start at 10:10 a.m. and be given by Phil Tackett, of FLIR Systems, Inc. (West Lafayette, Indiana). Tackett’s talk is titled “Detection of Water-Borne 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (MCHM) via Purge and Trap and Transportable, On-Site GC/MS.”
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.
