Speakers and Agenda
10:30 am to 11:15 am
Mike Eicher, Principal Technical Support Specialist / Waters Corporation
Title: HPLC/GPC Basics
Abstract: The presentation will give you a basic understanding of the hardware and how HPLC and GPCwork.
11:15 am to 12 noon
Marla Bianca, Ph.D., East Region Chemistry Account Manager / Waters Corporation
Title: HPLC/GPC Column Chemistry
Abstract: We’ll look at the key components that all LC columns have, the base particle, the bonded phase, and the column hardware. As well as look at the specific attributes that impact chromatography, and how understanding these attributes will lead to making better column choices. We will go over the column options for reverse phase as well as GPC/APC.
12 to 12:45 pm
Lunch break – Light Lunch and Refreshments provide by Waters Corporation
12:45 pm to 1:30 pm
William Penny, PhD, Mid-Atlantic West Account Manager & Application Scientist / Waters Corporation/ WYATT Technology
Title: Introduction to Polymer and Biologics Characterization using Light Scattering
Abstract: Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) is an excellent technique for non-invasive characterization of macromolecules and a wide range of particles in solution. In combination with separation by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) or field flow fractionation (FFF), MALS enables the determination of molar mass distributions without relying on reference standards, making it invaluable for the analysis of polymers and biologics.
In this seminar, the theory and technology of MALS will be reviewed, then specific applications in the characterization of polymers and biologics will be presented.
