The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Award for Outstanding Achievements in Chemometrics was presented to Peter de Boves Harrington on Tuesday 19 November.
The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Award for Outstanding Achievements in Chemometrics was presented to Peter de Boves Harrington on Tuesday 19 November. Harrington went on to present his talk “Chemometrics for the Masses: How to Painlessly Improve Your Science.” Harrington received his Ph.D. from the University of North CarolinaâChapel Hill in 1988. From 1987 to 1989 he created the DOS-based software platforms Resolve and Presager for identifying bacteria from their pyrolysisâmass spectra, while working for Kent Voorhees at the Colorado School of Mines. He joined the faculty of Ohio University (Athens, Ohio, USA) in 1989. In 1992, he founded the Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation. He is the Director of the Ohio University Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the North American Academy of Sciences. Harrington’s current research focuses on the development and coupling of artificial intelligence to chemotyping by spectrometric measurements of botanical medicines and foods.
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
