Tuesday Afternoon Session: Pharmaceutical Analysis
The session titled "Pharmaceutical Analysis" will be chaired by Wolfgang Goetzinger of Amgen Inc. (Cambridge, Massachusetts) and Robert Plumb of Imperial College (London, UK) on Tuesday afternoon in Ballroom A.
The session titled “Pharmaceutical Analysis” will be chaired by Wolfgang Goetzinger of Amgen Inc. (Cambridge, Massachusetts) and Robert Plumb of Imperial College (London, UK) on Tuesday afternoon in Ballroom A.
Klaus Albert of the Institute of Organic Chemistry will start off this session with a presentation titled "Structure Elucidation of Bioactive Compounds Employing Modern Analytical Hyphenated Techniques." The study of bioactive compounds is very popular right now for the development of of pharmaceuticals by industry and academia. This presentation will surely touch upon a lot of the important factors involved with bioactive compounds.
The second presentation in this session will be given by Csaba Horvath Award nominee Volker Neu of the University of Salzburg (Salzburg, Austria) and is titled "High-Speed Liquid Chromatography Hyphenated to High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry in Pharmaceutical Quality Control." Neu's discussion will center around another important issue for the pharmaceutical industry- quality control. This is an area of pharmaceuticals that is always looking for room to grow and improve upon itself.
The third presentation will focus on the detection of impurities in drug formulations. Rudy Sneyers of Johnson and Johnson (Beerse, Belgium) will preesnt "'Safety Net' — Systematic Application of Orthogonal Methods for Automated Detection of New Impurity Compounds in Drug Formulations."
The final presentation in this session will be given by Christopher J. Welch of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey) and is titled "New HPLC Technologies in Support of Pharmaceutical Discovery and Development." A fitting end to this session, this topic will touch upon discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry using HPLC.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Fundamentally Speaking (Part 1)
May 13th 2025Michael Lämmerhofer from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tübingen, Germany, spoke to JFK Huber Lecture Award winner of 2024 Torgny Fornstedt, professor in analytical chemistry and leader of the Fundamental Separation Science Group, Karlstad University, Sweden, about his pioneering work in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a focus on fundamentals and industrial applications.
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.
Determining Ways to Protect Honeybee Colonies with GC–MS
May 13th 2025A study conducted by the Agriculture Research Centre of Giza, Egypt, and Jilin Agricultural University in China, evaluated the efficacy of stinging nettle extract, nettle smoke, and formic acid in the controlling of Varroa mites, a major threat to honeybee colonies, with a focus on mite infestation reduction, honeybee mortality, and biochemical responses. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to identify key bioactive compounds in the stinging nettle extract.
