A Wednesday morning session titled "Surface Properties, Interactions and Retention Selectivity" will be held in Ballroom B starting at 10:30 a.m. The Session Chairs will be Georges Guiochon of the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee) and Wolfgang Lindner of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria).
A Wednesday morning session titled “Surface Properties, Interactions and Retention Selectivity” will be held in Ballroom B starting at 10:30 a.m. The Session Chairs will be Georges Guiochon of the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, Tennessee) and Wolfgang Lindner of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria).
The first presentation in the session will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be given by Marja-Liisa Riekkola of the University of Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland). The title of the presentation is “Ingenious Electrochromatographic Approaches for Surface Interaction Studies.”
Next, a talk titled “Structural Variation of Solid Core and Thickness of Porous Shell of 1.7 µm Core-Shell Silica Particles on Chromatographic Performance” will be presented by Csaba Horváth Young Scientist Award Nominee Jesse O. Omamogho.
Omamogho’s discussion of the core-shell LC column particles will be followed by a presentation by Charles A. Lucy of the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) titled “Insights into Retention and Selectivity in Ion Chromatographic Separations of Inorganic Anions.”
The final presentation in this Wednesday morning session will be given by Uwe Dieter Neue of Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts). Neue’s talk is titled “Selectivity in Reversed-Phase Separations.”
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.
Evaluating the Accuracy of Mass Spectrometry Spectral Databases
May 12th 2025Mass spectrometry (MS) can be effective in identifying unknown compounds, though this can be complicated if spectra is outside of known databases. Researchers aimed to test MS databases using electron–ionization (EI)–MS.
Discovering the Hidden Plastic in Garden Compost with Pyr-GC–MS
May 12th 2025An Australian study used pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Pyr-GC–MS) to analyze the presence of plastic polymers in commercial and homemade composts. LCGC International spoke to Simran Kaur—a PhD candidate at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) at The University of Queensland in Woolloongabba, Australia—to find out more about her team’s findings.
