A professor from the University of Pittsburgh received one of the most distinguished awards at the Pittsburgh Conference on the third day of Pittcon 2008 from New Orleans.
Sanford A. Asher received the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, presented by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP). Now in its 51st year, the award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions in the field of spectroscopy.
Allen J Sharkins of The Pittsburgh Conference presided over the symposium, which was arranged by Jane N. Chan, Bechtel Bettis, Inc., and Asher.
After accepting his award, Asher then gave the first presentation of the symposium, entitled "UV Resonance Raman Discovery of GibbsFree Energy Landscape for Protein Alpha Helix Folding."
"We developed a powerful method to follow the evolution of secondary structure in the amide peptide bonds of peptides and proteins."
The session had presenters exclusively from academic institutions, hailing from Syracuse University, University at Albany, SUNY, Northeastern University, and Boston University.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
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.
