Liquid chromatography columns: trends and innovations

Description:
Shifting market trends, laboratory needs, and evolving analyst expectations continue to drive the research and development efforts of liquid chromatography product vendors. In recent years, new column technologies have improved analysis speeds and efficiencies and sought to address challenging separations of both small and large molecules with innovative stationary phase chemistries. This session’s discussion will center on approaches to successful adoption of new column technologies, gaps in current vendor offerings, and future needs in liquid chromatography innovation based on foreseeable analytical trends.

Speaker: Edward Franklin - Regis Technologies
Edward G. Franklin earned a B.S. in Biochemistry in 2006 and M.S. in Forensic Science in 2007 from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2012, he received a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In over 15 years of separations-related experience, he has conducted research ranging from fundamental investigations of the kinetic performance of packed-bed HPLC columns, instrument and column development for ultra-high pressure separations of complex samples, and column stationary phase development for application-specific methods. In his current position as the Technical Director of Chromatography Applications at Regis Technologies, Inc., he develops new products and methods for chromatography solutions related to chiral and achiral separations using reversed-phase, normal phase, and supercritical fluid approaches.
