PITTCON 2010 Seminar Room Presentations
Date/Time	Title	Abstract
Monday 10:00am	Live Demo: Simultaneous Determination of Fat and Water Soluble Vitamins on a UHPLC System	Experience first hand the real power of Dual UHPLC. Learn how a Parallel UHPLC system performs two different methods in parallel on the same sample to simultaneously analyze both water and fat soluble vitamins with minimal solvent consumption resulting in increased productivity while maintaining a low carbon footprint using our unique green technology.
Monday 11:00am	Automated Sample Preparation for Liquid and Solid Samples	Learn how to reduce the many steps and manipulations involved in preparing samples for chromatographic analysis using the automated capabilities of the ASE^® 150 and 350 systems, including in-line clean-up and acidic or alkaline pretreatment. We will also discuss the features of the new automated Dionex AutoTrace^® 280 SPE instrument for solid-phase extractions for large volume water samples.
Monday 12:00pm	Where iTunes^® Meets Chromatography	Imagine that when downloading a song you are given the sheet music instead of the recorded version, and told to play the music yourself. That is what we face today with chromatography applications. Typically an application describes the instrument and column used, and provides details of the instrument conditions. It is then left to you to redefine these conditions in your chromatography data system and there are a lot of conditions to define. A better solution is now available: a unique on-line library from Dionex which allows you to quickly search for applications based on almost any criteria. Once you have found them you can download all settings directly into Chromeleon^® software. This unique user experience revolutionizes the way that we will run our chromatography applications.
Monday 12:30	Beyond C18: A Full Range of HPLC Stationary Phases for Solving Your Separation Challenges	Learn how Acclaim^® HPLC columns are used for food safety, environmental contaminants, consumer products testing, biofuel QC, pharmaceutical counterion analysis, and other separation challenges. This seminar provides an overview of the Acclaim HPLC column line, including the specialty Acclaim Trinity P1, Surfactant, Organic Acid, Explosives, and Mixed-Mode columns.
Monday 1:00pm	Trace-Level Analyses with Capillary Ion Chromatography	Capillary ion chromatography (CIC) brings increased sensitivity to IC with the capability to perform the often complex IC x IC (2-D IC) analysis easily and conveniently. With reduced flow rates, lower backgrounds, and an easy interface to IC/MS, trace-level analysis just became much easier. This talk will give examples of new trace-level analyses using CIC, including IC x IC and IC/MS.
Monday 2:00pm	New Frontiers in BioIC - From Metabolomics to Drug Analysis	Ion chromatography of biomolecules (BioIC) is the latest frontier in bio-separations. This presentation will discuss new BioIC methods in metabolomics and drug development, including the new USP methods for analyzing heparin, and share typical results and offer key tips and advice for performing reliable analyses.
Tuesday 10:00am	Live Demo: Ion Chromatography Hardware and Software Solutions for the Water Lab	Analysis of water using EPA Method 300.0 is standard for many government and private testing laboratories. In recent years, Dionex has introduced techniques to increase productivity for this routine method. The best of these—auto-dilution and the RFIC-ER™ system—will be demonstrated during this session. Using the IonPac^® AS22 column, we will process a set of typical water samples using Chromeleon software and the ICS-1600 system.
Tuesday 11:00am	Tips & Tricks for Your Ion Analysis	Ion chromatography (IC) is a well-established technique with applications ranging from simple anions and cations in water to more complex analysis of carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleic acids. For any application to be successful, the IC system and its components must be working at optimal performance. In this session, we provide tips and tricks to maintain your IC system at its peak performance level and discuss hardware, column, detector, and suppressor issues along with troubleshooting tips to get the most out of your IC system.
Tuesday 12:00pm	New EPA Methods for Disinfection Byproducts Co-developed by Dionex: EPA 302 (Bromate) and EPA 557 (Bromate and Haloacetic Acids)	Learn more about EPA Method 302, a 2-D IC method that is a more robust solution for drinking waters with high concentrations of anions compared to the post column methods 317 and 326. Using a Reagent-Free™ IC (RFIC™) system, EPA 302.0 allows the user to just add water to each system instead of preparing eluents and unstable or toxic postcolumn reagents. EPA Method 557 is an alternative to GC/ECD-based methods 552.1, 552.2, and 552.3 The 552 methods require extensive sample preparation that can take up to 3-4 hours per sample. Alternatively, 557 is a direct injection technique with no sample preparation that uses an RFIC system and hydroxide eluent for ion-exchange separation prior to MS/MS detection.
Tuesday 12:30pm	Simultaneous Analysis of API and Counterion by HPLC with Charged Aerosol Detection	Learn how to simultaneously measure active pharmaceutical ingredients and their counterions in a single analysis. This seminar describes new separation and detection technology and how their application to real-world samples increases productivity in the pharmaceutical laboratory.
Tuesday 1:00pm	Novel LC Solutions for High Performance and High Throughput Biopharmaceutical Analysis	Biologics has transformed the biotechnology industry in the last decade, and an increasing number of large pharmaceutical companies are rapidly expanding and advancing their biologics and follow-on biologics portfolio. The largest segment of the increasing biologics drug market is credited to biopharmaceutical proteins and monoclonal antibodies. Producing these biopharmaceutical products is complex and costly via genetic engineering in living cells. During development and production–detection, characterization and quantification of impurities, structural variants and modifications as well as monitoring the stability is regarded as essential for demonstrating safety and efficacy of these drugs, and is required by FDA and other regulatory agencies. This Dionex seminar highlights tools and methods employed to detect, characterize, quantify, and monitor protein and antibody biopharmaceuticals throughout their development and manufacturing. Methods and automation to increase analysis throughput will be emphasized.

Wednesday 11:00am	System and Column Technology for Ultrahigh Resolution Nano LC-MS	Digestion of proteins typically leads to a very large number of peptides. For example, the digestion of a cell lysate easily generates 500,000 peptides. The separation of these highly complex peptide samples is one of the major challenges in analytical chemistry. In this seminar, we discuss the performance of nano LC columns operating at ultrahigh pressure. The effects of column parameters (particle size and column length) and LC conditions (gradient time, flow rate, column temperature) were investigated with reversed-phase (RP) gradient nano LC. High-resolution LC-MS separations of complex proteomic peptide samples are demonstrated by combining long columns with 2 µm particles and long gradients. The effects of LC parameters on performance and the influence on peptide identification are discussed.
Wednesday 12:00pm	Automated Ion Chromatography Sample Preparation for Challenging Samples	The ion analysis of samples with complex matrices, such as groundwaters, foodstuffs, and industrial chemicals provides sample preparation challenges for the analyst due to the need to remove interferences found in these samples. This presentation examines automated sample pretreatment methods based on inline sample preparation columns and filters. Enabling the methodology is new inline matrix elimination cartridges and new integrated multivalve instrumentation.
Wednesday 12:30pm	Process Analytics in the Pharmaceutical Industry	Learn how the new Integral™ Process Analytical Systems provide a Migration Path approach that lets you generate timely, high-resolution information when monitoring a small scale reactor in a process R&D lab, testing new product in a pilot plant, or improving current processes in a manufacturing plant. No matter what the application, the Integral system has the versatility to place a solution using on-line IC/HPLC wherever and whenever needed.
Wednesday 1:00pm	New Frontiers in Environmental Ion Analysis with Capillary Ion Chromatography	Capillary ion chromatography (CIC) brings increased sensitivity to IC with the capability to perform the often complex IC x IC (2-D IC) analysis easily and conveniently. With reduced flow rates, lower backgrounds, and an easy interface to IC/MS, trace-level analysis just became much easier.
