PITTCON <strong>2012</strong> EXHIBITOR SEMINAR LISTING<br />
EXHIBITOR NAME ROOM # DESCRIPTION<br />
1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.<br />
Inorganic Analysis: Which Technique Is Best for Me? – Presenter: Dr. Hari<br />
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<br />
will guide you through the most commonly used techniques, including Ion Selective Electrode measurement, Voltammetry and Ion Chromatography. This<br />
session is a perfect overview for any chemist in any industry: environmental, chemical, petrochemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and more.<br />
2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.<br />
Karl Fischer: Really Know Your Technique – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler<br />
Karl Fischer water determinations are a common lab application — but with a variety of sample types and water values, are you performing them as<br />
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.<br />
3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m.<br />
Electrodes: Overlooked by Most, Yet Critical to All – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler<br />
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<br />
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<br />
session you don’t want to miss.<br />
4:00 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.<br />
Test the Expert: Titration, Ion Chromatography & Electrochemistry Gurus Answer Your Questions – Panelists: Dr. Jay Gandhi, Dr. Hari,<br />
Frederick Fiddler, Mike Kubicsko<br />
Spend the end of your <strong>Pittcon</strong> day with a panel of true experts in ion analyses! Wondering why your titration curves aren’t reproducible? Or why your<br />
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<br />
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!<br />
Please note this seminar is open to attendees only, no exhibitors please.<br />

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