Thermo Fisher Scientific is sponsoring the 15th Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation in Separation Science, which will take place at the Royal Institution of Great Britain on the 6th October 2010. The theme for this year is ‘Innovation in Chromatography’.
As a distinguished scientist and inventor, Denis Henry Desty could transform his visions into reality by solving challenging problems in a practical and creative manner. During a distinguished career in research chemistry that spanned 33 years, he devised practical techniques for analytical hydrocarbon separations, combustion, gas flares, the treatment of oil spills, and a variety of applications in capillary gas chromatography. In commemoration of his work, Tony Edge, technical manager, Chromatography Consumables and Speciality Products for Thermo Fisher Scientific will present the lecture ‘Seeing the Unseen in Sample Preparation’. At the event an award will be presented to a young scientist, judged to have demonstrated great innovation in separation science.
For more information and to obtain tickets for this year’s Desty Memorial Lecture, please contact Professor Peter Myers, Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, L69 7ZD, peterm@desty.org.uk
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
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.
