Welcome to Pittcon 2011
Welcome to the opening day of LCGC?s coverage of Pittcon 2011 from the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Welcome to the opening day of LCGC’s coverage of Pittcon 2011 from the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The staff of LCGC is proud to kick off the conference today at 10:00 a.m. with our 2011 Pittcon Theater, comprising live interviews with leading researchers and industry experts about new developments, trends, and applications in gas and liquid chromatography and hyphenated techniques.
Today’s theater schedule starts with three conversations about new developments in GC with Alyssa Andrews-Ashley of the U.S. Pharmacopeia, Jared Anderson of the University of Toledo, and Edward T. Zellers of the University of Michigan.
Our afternoon program focuses on HPLC and UHPLC. Michael Dong of Genentech will discuss UHPLC in the pharma industry, Fabrice Gritti of the University of Tennessee will bring us up to date on new stationary phases for fast chromatography, Mary Ellen McNally of DuPont will compare HPLC and UHPLC, and Luis Colon of the University at Buffalo will address the physicochemical characteristics of chromatographic materials in HPLC.
All interviews take place in booth #3217 on the show floor. Check out the rest of our show daily for exact times, as well as for recommendations of conference sessions to attend and session previews.
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.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
Analyzing New Drug Modalities: An ISC 2024 Interview with Kelly Zhang
January 10th 2025At ISC 2024 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, LCGC International interviewed Kelly Zhang of Genentech about her work analyzing new drug modalities, such as mRNA, oligonucleotides, peptides, and cell and gene therapies.
