Winner of the LCGC 2011 Emerging Leader Award announced
Winner to Be Interviewed at Pittcon 2011
LCGC, the industry's leading and most-recognized resource for chromatographers, is proud to announce the presentation of the 4th Annual Emerging Leader Award. The winner will be interviewed live at the LCGC & Spectroscopy 2011 Pittcon Theater, in Booth #3217.
The Emerging Leader award recognizes the achievements and aspirations of a talented young scientific or technical professional who has made strides early in his or her career toward the advancement of chromatographic applications and techniques.
The winner of the LCGC 2011 Emerging Leader award is Dwight Stoll, PhD. Dr. Stoll is currently an Assistant Professor at Gustavus Adolphus College, Saint Peter, Minnesota where he has taught since 2008. Beginning at the University of Minnesota and continuing at Gustavus Adolphus College, Dr. Stoll developed fast, comprehensive two‐dimensional high performance liquid chromatography (c2D‐HPLC) as an analytical tool capable of quickly separating and quantifying hundreds of chemical constituents of complex mixtures. In his post‐doctoral work in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota he used liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) to identify low molecular weight compounds involved in biological matrices.
LCGC’s Editor-in-Chief Laura Bush will conduct an interview with Dr. Stoll on Tuesday, March 15, at 10:00 am in the LCGC & Spectroscopy Pittcon Theater, in booth #3217 at Pittcon. A video of the interview will be available on the LCGC website the week following the conference.
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.
