Nominations Sought for the 2013 Dal Nogare Award
The Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley is currently seeking nominations for the 2013 Dal Nogare Award.
The Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley is currently seeking nominations for the 2013 Dal Nogare Award. The award is presented annually at Pittcon to an outstanding scientist in the field of chromatography. The recipient of the award is chosen for his or her significant contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process.
The 2011 Dal Nogare award was given to Janusz Pawliszyn of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Canada). Professor Pawliszyn is best known for his work in the development of solid-phase microextraction, and focuses his research primarily on the development of highly automated and integrated instrumentation for the isolation of analytes in complex matrices and on the separation, identification, and determination of these species.
The impressive list of former Dal Nogare award winners includes:
Please send hard copy nominations, including current resume, publication examples, and seconding letters, by January 15, 2012, to:

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.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
Analyzing New Drug Modalities: An ISC 2024 Interview with Kelly Zhang
January 10th 2025At ISC 2024 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, LCGC International interviewed Kelly Zhang of Genentech about her work analyzing new drug modalities, such as mRNA, oligonucleotides, peptides, and cell and gene therapies.
