Welcome to this special Pittcon 2010 Preview, brought to you by the staff of LCGC. Pittcon 2010, set to run from February 28 to March 5 in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, promises to be one of the most anticipated events in the field of analytical chemistry ? primarily because of its continuing position as the premier event in the industry, but also because of its added importance this year as a bellweather for the state of the conference industry as a whole.
Welcome to this special Pittcon 2010 Preview, brought to you by the staff of LCGC. Pittcon 2010, set to run from February 28 to March 5 in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, promises to be one of the most anticipated events in the field of analytical chemistry — primarily because of its continuing position as the premier event in the industry, but also because of its added importance this year as a bellweather for the state of the conference industry as a whole.
Many industry experts will be waiting anxiously for attendance numbers from this year’s conference, as speculation about the impact of the recession and virtual meetings in general has left many wondering how face-to-face events will fare in 2010.
Here at LCGC, there is a great deal planned this year, from the annual LCGC Awards taking place Monday, March 1 at 1 pm in Room 303ABC, to the LCGC/Spectroscopy Pittcon Audio & Video Theater taking place Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at booth 2805. With the first two days dedicated to the hottest topics in the fields of chromatography and spectroscopy, and the third day dedicated to the launch of LCGC’sexciting new online learning community “CHOMAcademy,” this promises to be one of the biggest Pittcons in recent memory for LCGC.
We invite as many conference-goers as possible to stop by the podcast theater, attend the LCGC Awards Ceremony, or just say hello at the LCGC/Spectroscopy booth #2805. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando.

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.
