Riva Awards 2012

PerkinElmer has announced two awards that will be presented at the 36th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography and the 9th GCxGC Symposium, Riva del Garda, Italy.

The 5th Leslie S. Ettre award will be awarded to a scientist of 35 years or younger, who presents the most interesting and innovative research in capillary gas chromatography, with a particular emphasis on environmental and food applications. The winner of the award will receive a grant of $2,500, a named scroll, a $1,000 travel contribution to attend the next ISCC meeting and free registration at the next meeting. The winner is also invited to give a presentation at the next meeting. Ettre made major contributions in the field of gas chromatography, writing and editing over 40 books and almost 400 articles and papers.

The Marcel Golay award will be awarded to a scientist in recognition of a lifetime of achievement in capillary chromatography. Dr Golay was one of the pioneers of gas chromatography and introduced the theory of dispersion in open tubular columns or capillary columns. The open tubular gas chromatography column is the most popular analytical gas chromatography column in use today.
