Pfizer Principal Scientist William Farrell To Receive Averica Award
William (Bill) Farrell, senior principal scientist at Pfizer Inc., has won the first annual Averica Award. The award will be presented at the SFC 2013 conference in Boston on 12 July.
William (Bill) Farrell, senior principal scientist at Pfizer Inc., has won the first annual Averica Award. The award will be presented at the SFC 2013 conference in Boston on 12 July.
The decision was made by the committee to reward Farrell for his “substantial impact on design of preparative SFC systems” and that he and his team “have probably done more (or at least shared more) with respect to stationary phase development that any other research group.”
Farrell said: "This is really an honour. I've been lucky to work with a lot of colleagues and collaborators who contributed a passion for science and chromatography to a lot of different projects, and I'm especially grateful that the body of our work is being recognized as a whole".

Determining Enhanced Sensitivity to Odors due to Anxiety-Associated Chemosignals with GC
May 8th 2025Based on their hypothesis that smelling anxiety chemosignals can, like visual anxiety induction, lead to an increase in odor sensitivity, a joint study between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Freising, Germany) combined behavioral experiments, odor profile analysis by a trained panel, and instrumental analysis of odorants (gas chromatography-olfactometry) and volatiles (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
