Free Vendor Technical Workshops

Monday Free Vendor Technical Workshops @ 12:15-1:15 PM

 

  • Advances in Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Chromatography,  Sponsored by Shimadzu.    Working in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Luigi Mondello (University of Messina in Italy) for over 10 years Shimadzu has advanced the technology and applications associated with multi-dimensional chromatography. This seminar will discuss a new novel separation method for complicated sample matrices that encompasses comprehensive two-dimensional chromatography. By combining two independent separation modes orthogonally this methodology represents a paradigm shift in liquid chromatography separations. This seminar will focus on the Shimadzu implementation of this novel technology. Shimadzu experts and collaborators in the field of multidimensional chromatography will be on-hand to answer questions on the technology and applications. Room:  Belle Chasse, 3rd floor of the Hilton

  • Leverage Lab Efficiency with Monolithic HPLC ColumnsSponsored by EMD Millipore.  With increased need for HPLC separations of analytes in complex matrices, high resolution, sensitivity and robustness within a relative short analysis time is important.  HPLC columns made of monolithic silica (Chromolith®) provide significant advantages for the analysis of matrix-rich samples compared to particulate columns. Because of their higher porosity and rigid silica skeleton, monolithic HPLC columns enable faster HPLC separations with minimal sample preparation and very long column lifetimes. Monolithic Chromolith® HPLC columns are the preferred choice for the analysis of matrix-rich samples, saving both time and money. Lunch will be provided. Registration required.  Room:  Elmwood, 3rd floor of the Hilton

  • Successful HPLC Method Development and Method Transfer with Core-Shell ColumnsSponsored by Phenomenex.  The various physical features differentiating core-shell from fully porous silica bring about a significant improvement in chromatographic efficiency observed in the analysis of both small and large molecular weight analytes.  Such features include fraction of particle volume occupied by the impermeable core, particle size distribution and thickness of porous shell. Today core-shell particles are available in a variety of sizes (1.3 – 5 µm) and surface modifications, providing a complete tool for RP and HILIC LC.  Effective method development for high speed and/or high resolving power and effective method transfer will be demonstrated with columns made with core-shell particles. Room:  Oak Alley, 3rd floor of the Hilton  MUST SIGN UP BY CONTACTING:   http://www.phenomenex.com/info/form/2014hplc
  • Low-flow ESI-MS Workflows that Increase Your Efficiency, Sponsored by AB SCIEX. In this workshop we will discuss low-flow separations techniques that, in combination with mass spectrometry, demonstrate AB SCIEX Separations’ continuous innovation addressing analytical challenges. The benefits of microflow separations coupled to ESI-MS are now being realized: faster separations, better limits of quantitation, low solvent consumption and significantly reduced MS maintenance. We will present examples of robust drug quantitation in urine and plasma, and steroids in dry blood spots. In the ultra-low nanoflow range, CESI-MS technology virtually eliminates ion suppression, maximizes ionization efficiency and sensitivity, eliminates sample carry-over, and increases throughput. Benefits for the characterization of biologics will be discussed. Instructors: Robert Turner, Analytical Edge Laboratories and Hans Dewald, AB SCIEX.  Room:  Jasperwood, 3rd floor of the Hilton

  • Evolution of Peak Capacity in Fluid-based SeparationSponsored by Agilent Technologies.  Optimization of the separation performance of fluid-based separation techniques, and especially of Liquid Chromatography (LC), is essential for analysis of the complex samples encountered in today’s research (omics, food, environmental, natural product, etc.). In this seminar, the recent developments in 2D –LC hardware design, software approaches and column configurations will be presented. The merit of LCxLC will be discussed and illustrated with analysis of several complex matrices including QA/QC samples. Also, Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) will be discussed.

  • Advantages of Using Monodisperse Particles in U/HPLC ColumnsSponsored by Supelco.  Investigations of columns prepared with monodisperse silica particles have shown that an important contribution to their efficiency arises from a very low eddy diffusion (multipath) term in van Deemter plots. The very narrow particle size distribution of ~6% RSD for 1.9 µm Titan® silica particles may simply create more uniform column beds and flow paths than particles with broader distribution. Uniform column beds may also preserve initial high efficiency by providing more resistance to voiding and channeling under variable flow and pressure conditions. This technical seminar will discuss the performance of Titan 1.9 µm UHPLC columns and demonstrate applications.   Room:  Oak Alley, 3rd floor of the Hilton
