PITTCON 2012 EXHIBITOR SEMINAR LISTING
EXHIBITOR NAME ROOM # DESCRIPTION
4:00 p.m.
Advanced Incremental ISE Techniques Made Easier
Advanced incremental techniques can seem unnerving. This seminar will review the different incremental techniques, example applications that can
benefit from the various incremental options and how our new Thermo Scientific Orion VERSA STAR meter makes it easier to take advantage of
incremental techniques.

Analysis of Carbohydrates using Capillary Ion Chromatography
Capillary Ion Chromatography is the newest Thermo Scientific development. The unique capabilities and advantages of this technique have excited
chromatographers everywhere. The concept of “IC on Demand” has spawned the idea of “Carbohydrates on Demand”. In this presentation, we will
highlight the unique features of the Capillary system, discuss the changes in the electrochemical detector and cell and show the results of analyses. We will
also highlight new column chemistries including monolith and small particle size ion exchangers for the analysis of carbohydrates.
11:00 a.m.
Orbitrap Technology For Enhanced Mass Spec Performance
Learn how high-resolution, accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap data provides ultimate confidence when you need to identify, quantify and confirm large
numbers of trace-level metabolites, pesticides, or contaminants in complex mixtures - in one analytical run. The availability of HR/AM in a full scan mode
allows retrospective data analysis for qualitative and quantitative applications. It reduces MS method development leading to improved and simplified
analytical throughput.
12:00 p.m.
Chromeleon 7.1 Chromatography Data System: Operational Simplicity for the Enterprise
Operational Simplicity is a key concept in the industry-leading Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) software version
7.1, which offers the fastest path from samples to results. This presentation will discuss some of the key workflow enhancements for chromatographic
data handling, plus tools and features for wide-scale enterprise deployment.
1:00 p.m.
Converting from HPLC to UHPLC Methods - Eliminating the “Guess Work”
In recent years, there has been a strong and continuing trend towards faster separations in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This is mainly
driven by innovations in HPLC instrumentation and column packing technology. However, in method transfer from HPLC to UHPLC, it is usually sufficient to
maintain the resolution of the original method. Therefore, a popular strategy is to use smaller particles in shorter columns–this approach maintains
resolution and provides faster separations. Rather complex calculations are required to adapt parameters, such as flow rate, injection volume, or gradient
profile, to the new column characteristics. The Thermo Scientific Dionex Rapid Separation LC (RSLC) Method Transfer Calculator is an electronic tool,
embedded in Chromeleon 7.1 that streamlines this process. Optimum instrument settings are automatically calculated based on known parameters of the
conventional HPLC application.
2:00 p.m.
Speciation: Coupling Ion Chromatography with ICP-MS
The Thermo Scientific brand is redefining the field of trace element speciation with our new IC-ICP-MS platforms. The combination of Ion Chromatography
with ICP-MS gives the analyst the ability to gain valuable information in areas such as trace element toxicity by harnessing the ability of ICP-MS to
measure ultra low levels of potentially toxic elements with the versatility of inert, reagent free ion chromatography to identifying the exact chemical
nature of all metallic species. Proof data for the ICS 5000-iCAP Q IC-ICP-MS system will be presented for speciation of elements like Chromium and Arsenic
in a variety of environmental and food matrices.
3:00 p.m.
Meet the Newest Member of the NanoDrop Family: The NanoDrop Lite
The Thermo Scientific NanoDrop Lite is sized right for every bench top and the perfect fit for scientists that need to quantify nucleic acids or purified
proteins, but do not need the full performance, software features, or spectral data that the NanoDrop 2000/2000c or NanoDrop 8000 provide. Learn about
the benefits of this new instrument and how it can expand your labs efficiency with the accuracy and reliability you expect from Thermo Scientific
NanoDrop products.
4:00 p.m.
Choosing the Right GC and GC/MS for your Laboratory
There are many GC and GC/MS technologies available and some can be used interchangeably. During this presentation we will review the technologies
that can be used, where they are used most appropriately, and how to make the best use of them for your laboratory.

10:00 a.m.
Capillary Ion Chromatography for Environmental Applications plus EPA Drinking Water Updates for UCMR3
Capillary IC has been shown to greatly improve the sensitivity of several regulated contaminants and disinfection by products including perchlorate,
bromate and haloacetic acids. In a 2-D format, MS detection levels can be achieved in matrix waters. We will also review solutions for contaminants
scheduled for the next Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3.
