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!
Determining Enhanced Sensitivity to Odors due to Anxiety-Associated Chemosignals with GC
May 8th 2025Based on their hypothesis that smelling anxiety chemosignals can, like visual anxiety induction, lead to an increase in odor sensitivity, a joint study between the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (Freising, Germany) combined behavioral experiments, odor profile analysis by a trained panel, and instrumental analysis of odorants (gas chromatography-olfactometry) and volatiles (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
