New Chromatography Columns and Accessories at the 2006 Pittcon Conference: Part II

Polyamides can be difficult to characterize, despite their use in various aspects of everyday life. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam researchers hoped to address this using a reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-based approach.

As the push for green chemistry continues to grow, University of Almeria researchers created a review for ways chromatographic techniques could be more environmentally friendly.

Separating stereoisomers is an extensively researched and challenging process, with approved substances being rare. A new SFC-based system was made to possibly ease some aspects of these procedures.

Fabrice Gritti, consultant scientist at Waters Corporation, spoke to LCGC International about the history of slalom chromatography (SC) and why he decided that the technique was worth re-investigating. The potential benefits of SC, according to Gritti, include identifying RNA impurities when manufacturing mRNA therapeutics, and assisting in the development of new gene and cell therapies, and other biopharmaceutical applications.
