Pittcon 2011 has launched an official conference and exposition smartphone app, "Pittcon 2011." The free app includes complete event information including the technical programme, exhibitor listing, short courses, and local area and conference related maps. The app will be available for use on Androids, Blackberrys, iPhones and iPod Touches with access before, during and after the conference. According to the conference, attendees will be able to build their agendas, network with their colleagues, send tweets to the video display in the conference’s Centennial Park and receive regular conference updates.
"Our statistics tell us that the number of those attendees using Smartphones has increased 150% over this same time last year, and according to Nielson, Smartphone usage is expected to outnumber regular phones by the end of 2011”, commented Marian Nardozzi, Pittcon's senior marketing and communications specialist. “Pittcon has always been about bringing the latest innovations and research to our attendees, so it only made sense for us to provide this technology to our audience."
The web version of the Pittcon Agenda Builder will continue to be available to those attendees without Smartphones.
The Pittcon 2011 App can be downloaded directly by pointing your camera directly at the QR code below or by visiting http://j.mp/pittcon2011 with your phone.
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.
