Event Overview:

Separation scientists play a pivotal role in the development of innovative therapeutics that benefit human health and society. In this special two-day symposium organized by LCGC, leading practitioners in the field will discuss the latest cutting-edge technologies and trends used for both small-molecule and large-molecule analysis. The first day will focus on large molecule analysis and will be moderated by Koen Sandra, CEO of the RIC Group.

The second will focus on small molecule analysis and will be moderated by Alasdair Matheson, Executive Editor of LCGC international.
The second session on both days will contain presentations from leading chromatography companies, who will demonstrate how their cutting-edge technologies benefit separation scientists working in these exciting and ever-evolving fields


Top Reasons to Attend:

• Why Multi-dimensional LC–MS will advance process analytical technology (PAT) for biotherapeutic products.
  
• How the latest developments in mRNA analytics will drive the breakthrough of mRNA-based therapeutics.
  
• The development of advanced MAPPS for high-confident immunogenicity derisking
  
• The benefits of separating permanent anions, neutral compounds, and weak acids using sequential elution liquid chromatography (SELC) with tandem columns
  
• How separation science can evolve to advance the pharmaceuticals of the future.
   

Who Should Attend:

Separation scientists from industry and academia who need to keep up to speed with the latest practical advances in biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical analysis.


Event Agenda

Following the success of LCGC International’s previous PFAS Summits, we have organised another interactive symposium in October 2024 where laboratory scientists involved in PFAS analysis can learn about the latest techniques and best practices to tackle this serious problem in relation to the analysis of PFAS in drinking water samples. We have a morning and afternoon session each day. There will be live Q&A following the morning session

The second session on both days will contain presentations from leading chromatography companies, who will demonstrate how their cutting-edge technologies benefit separation scientists working on analysing PFAS in water samples.


Top Reasons to Attend:

Separation scientists involved in PFAS analysis who want to learn about important developments related to analysing PFAS in drinking water, including:

• Cutting-edge techniques to analyse trace levels of PFAS in “real world” applications
  
• Investigating trace concentrations of PFAS in London’s drinking water
  
• Target analysis of PFAS in drinking water with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) in Czech Republic
  
• A non-target screening study to explore groundwater contamination when using granular activated carbon or ion exchange resins
  
• A novel ultra-trace analytical technique for PFAS in drinking water using ICECLES with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

Who Should Attend:

• Separation scientists from industry and academia who need to keep up to speed with the latest technologies used to analyse PFAS for drinking water applications
