2012 Final Program - Pittcon

PITTCON 2012 EXHIBITOR SEMINAR LISTING
EXHIBITOR NAME ROOM # DESCRIPTION
1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
Inorganic Analysis: Which Technique Is Best for Me? – Presenter: Dr. Hari
Choosing the right analytical technique is the key to solving any analytical problem in the lab. Spend 45 minutes with our applications expert, Hari, who
will guide you through the most commonly used techniques, including Ion Selective Electrode measurement, Voltammetry and Ion Chromatography. This
session is a perfect overview for any chemist in any industry: environmental, chemical, petrochemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and more.
2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Karl Fischer: Really Know Your Technique – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler
Karl Fischer water determinations are a common lab application — but with a variety of sample types and water values, are you performing them as
efficiently as you can? Spend 45 minutes with our titration applications expert, Frederick, and you sure will! This is a back-by-popular-demand seminar.
3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.
Electrodes: Overlooked by Most, Yet Critical to All – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler
In fact, electrodes are so critical to the accuracy and reproducibility of auto-titrators and pH meters that using the wrong type or one that was improperly
maintained can cause bad results. This seminar will teach you how to choose — and get the most out of — your Metrohm ® electrode. Another back-bypopular-demand
session you don’t want to miss.
4:00 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Test the Expert: Titration, Ion Chromatography & Electrochemistry Gurus Answer Your Questions – Panelists: Dr. Jay Gandhi, Dr. Hari,
Frederick Fiddler, Mike Kubicsko
Spend the end of your Pittcon day with a panel of true experts in ion analyses! Wondering why your titration curves aren’t reproducible? Or why your
peaks are inconsistent? Perhaps you believe there’s a better way to accomplish your work, but you’re not sure how to go about it? You and your peers are
invited to pose any titration, IC and/or eChem-related question to our panel and get an immediate answer. Hear and learn from your colleagues’ questions!
Please note this seminar is open to attendees only, no exhibitors please.

10:00 a.m.
Fundamentals of Capillary Ion Chromatography
Capillary IC introduced in 2010 uses packed columns with internal diameters of 0.4 mm and flow rates of 10 µL/min, thus enabling continuous operation
with less than 15 mL of mobile phase per day. Less sample volume is required due to increased mass sensitivity, better fit for interfacing with mass
spectrometry due to lower flow rates and increased sensitivity in 2 dimensional separations using a 4 mm inner diameter column in the first dimension
and a capillary column in the second dimension. Capillary IC is also the perfect fit for columns with smaller particles which are operated at higher
backpressures and higher flow rates to increase chromatographic efficiency and resolution or to accelerate the separation.
11:00 a.m.
Introducing the Thermo Scientific Mass Spec Portfolio
For both Quantitative and Qualitative Analyses, the Thermo Scientific range of Ion Trap, Quadrupole, Orbitrap and Hybrid mass spectrometers gives you a
choice to match your needs. Learn which system is right for your application.
12:00 p.m.
Introducing the New Trace 1300 Series GC
The new Thermo Scientific TRACE 1300 Series is a compact, highly productive gas chromatograph that delivers ground-breaking performance. This next
generation GC is engineered around miniaturized, plug-in injectors and detectors, redefining usability in routine and high throughput laboratories. The
modular design provides instant accessibility to injectors and detectors, eliminating any maintenance downtime and enabling the user to quickly tailor
instrument capability to specific applications and daily workload. Discover how to move to the next level of instrument usability with the TRACE 1300
Series GC.
1:00 p.m.
UHPLC+ Focused: UHPLC for all Laboratories and all Analytes
With the recent merging of the Thermo Scientific and Dionex HPLC product lines, the Thermo Scientific brand now offers the most comprehensive portfolio
of UHPLC-compatible solutions. Irrespective of budget, scale or detection type, our solution allow all laboratories to explore the possibilities of UHPLC for all
analytes.
2:00 p.m.
Introducing the New ICAP-Q ICP-MS System
Discover the Dramatically Different Thermo Scientific iCAP Q ICP-MS system. An all-new ultra-compact bench-top design, the iCAP Q features a
revolutionary new interface that maximizes both sensitivity and matrix tolerance, a unique ion focusing system that delivers best in class signal-to-noise
performance, the revolutionary new QCell with flatapole technology & low mass filter for unparalleled interference removal and the new QTegra software
platform that enables one-click operation, virtually eliminating the learning curve.
3:00 p.m.
Advances in Automated Sample Preparation for GC and GC-MS using Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE)
Analytical chemists are being asked to do more with fewer resources. Sample preparation methodologies are often the most time-, labor- and solventintensive
portions of analytical workflows. Adding automation to sample preparation processes will provide big improvements in overall productivity
while simultaneously providing better analytical performance (precision and recovery). This presentation will discuss the use of automation for the
extraction, clean-up and evaporation of samples prior to analysis by GC and GC-MS.
