Need help determining water content in your solids, liquids and gases using Hydranal™ Reagents for Karl Fischer Titration?

Have your personal 1/1 meeting with Doug Clark, the National Technical Specialist for Hydranal

Is accurate water determination of your solids, liquids and gases keeping you up at night? Does extracting all the water content from your samples stress you out? If you’ve heard about Hydranal™ reagents but want to learn more, stop by booth 1765 for expert advice from our Karl Fischer Titration veteran Doug Clark.

Doug has more than 20 years of experience working with the most versatile and generally accepted analytical method for determining water content in any kind of sample including solids, liquids, and gases. Doug can advise you on choosing the correct Karl Fischer technique and reagents, as well as optimizing Karl Fischer titration for your specific sample types. He can also introduce you to standards and explain how to verify sample results.

Honeywell Research Chemicals’ history in the industry dates back more than 200 years to when Chemist Johann Daniel Riedel started production of pharmaceuticals in Berlin.

The Doctor Did Not Prescribe Irgafos

A critical component of drug safety is testing for extractable and leachable (E&L) impurities that may be introduced during production or from the packaging. As single-use bioprocess systems and disposable pre-filled syringes have become more prevalent, demand for rapid, confident E&L testing has increased.

Learn about the latest technologies – such as accelerated solvent extraction, Orbitrap-based LC-MS and GC-MS, and ICP-MS – for isolation, identification, and quantitation of elemental and organic impurities and follow real-life bioprocess extractable and simulated leachable studies.

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. – Lunch provided

No Chromophore? No Problem! Universal HPLC Detection.

No LC detection technique is completely universal but Charged Aerosol Detection (CAD) comes close. UV is widely used but is blind to compounds without a chromophore while response with mass spectrometry depends on analyte

structure and method parameters. Refractive index, ELSD, and CNLSD do not combine application versatility with reliability.

Learn how CAD helps you see what other technologies do not; delivers the most uniform response, independent of chemical structure; and uses unique inverse gradient technology, which provides an accurate means of estimating analyte quantity when individual standards are not available.

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. – Snacks and drinks provided

Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry: A Must-Have in the Chromatography Lab

Calling all ion and liquid chromatographers! Discover how mass spectrometry could help you gain greater insights into your samples through mass-to-charge (m/z) confirmation for separated compounds and lower limits of detection in comparison to conductivity detection. While some perceive mass spectrometry to be difficult, a suite of easy-to-use hardware and software features on our new single quadrupole mass spectrometer makes MS approachable for chromatographers.

Wednesday, March 1, 2018 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – Snacks and drinks provided

What’s Your Data Trying to Tell You?

Reveal actionable information and unique insights on your laboratory processes through data integration. By connecting the pieces of disparate information generated by laboratory instruments and systems, you can transform data into the knowledge you need to identify opportunities for improvement.

Join us to gain an understanding of modern methods to collect, manage, analyze, share, and protect your data. Plus, discover how to achieve full data integrity with Integrated Informatics Solutions including LIMS, CDS and SDMS.

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.- Lunch provided Outsmart Interferences with Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS

Physical, chemical and spectral interferences are common in both routine and research laboratories, sometimes leading to flawed results. Learn how to identify and correct for potential interference effects while pushing the boundaries for elemental measurements at ultra-trace levels. Applications ranging from semiconductor materials to foodstuffs to environmental waters can benefit from advanced interference removal capabilities.

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.- Snacks and drinks provided HPLC Column Selection: Solve the Separation Mystery

Column selection can be a mystery for analysts starting their journey from sample to knowledge. Short of trying every column in the cupboard, we present simple strategies to determine which column phase, dimensions and

particle size provide the best opportunity to optimize your separation. We will also cover topics such as mobile phase and additive selection which are equally important for good chromatography.

Thursday, March 2, 2018 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.- Snacks and drinks provided

Tomorrow’s Quantitation Today: Improving Routine LC-MS Workflows

Samples are getting more complex. You are being asked to identify and measure more components, even ones you never analyzed before. Workflows now require both qualitative and quantitative platforms.

Discover how HRAM Orbitrap mass spectrometry can perform screening and quantitation in a single assay for virtually any molecule across all applications and how triple quadrupole MS can quantify hundreds of samples with ultimate sensitivity, selectivity and speed. It’s a versatile approach that can increase confidence in results and enable you to solve analytical challenges faster.

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.- Lunch provided

Single, Triple or High Resolution Accurate Mass? Select the Right GC-MS for Your Lab

Do you know which GC-MS technique is the most practical for your laboratory? Discover the advantages and limitations of single, triple and high resolution accurate mass MS so you can determine which technique best fits your analytical requirements. Also, see how optimal technique selection and maximum instrument performance both enhance the user experience so that the daily challenges of routine and research GC-MS workflows can be addressed with confidence.
