Welcome to Day 3 of Pittcon 2010
E-Separation Solutions
Good morning, and welcome to the final day of LCGC?s coverage from Pittcon 2010. To say the week has flown by would be an understatement, as I?m sure many conference-goers share our feeling that the conference has been a blur of activity to this point.
Good morning, and welcome to the final day of LCGC’s coverage from Pittcon 2010. To say the week has flown by would be an understatement, as I’m sure many conference-goers share our feeling that the conference has been a blur of activity to this point. From the LCGC/Spectroscopy Audio & Video Theater to the numerous receptions and events throughout the week, this has been one of the busiest and most memorable Pittcons in recent years.
However, we would be remiss if we did not invite you to one more event hosted by LCGC, taking place all day today at booth 2805. LCGC’s new online learning community CHOMAcademy, and its attendant social network, the CHROMmunity, will be highlighted at the podcast theater from 10 am to 5 pm, with co-founder Tony Taylor of Crawford Scientific hosting, and with various department deans from the site speaking as well. This promises to be one of the most informative and exciting events of the week, so we invite you to stop by throughout the day to see what CHROMAcademy has to offer. Also, attendees can fill out a survey to receive a USB stick with valuable premium technical information from CHROMAcademy free of charge, so we hope to see you there.
Finally, as conferees and exhibitors alike make their way home (or in some cases, to the next industry event!) in the coming days, we wish you all safe travels. It has been our pleasure to bring you this week of coverage from Pittcon 2010, and please look for additional e-show daily coverage from other conferences throughout the year. Past years have seen us covering HPLC, ASMS, and other shows, so look for announcements about additional show coverage in the near future.
Happy travels!
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Liquid Chromatography to Analyze Vitamin D Proteins in Psoriasis Patients
January 21st 2025Can a protein involved in delivering Vitamin D to target tissues have an altered serum profile in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular disease? Researchers used liquid chromatography (LC) to help find out.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
A Guide To Finding the Ideal Syringe and Needle
January 20th 2025Hamilton has produced a series of reference guides to assist science professionals in finding the best-suited products and configurations for their applications. The Syringe and Needle Reference Guide provides detailed information on Hamilton Company’s full portfolio of syringes and needles. Everything from cleaning and preventative maintenance to individual part numbers are available for review. It also includes selection charts to help you choose between syringe terminations like cemented needles and luer tips.
