PITTCON <strong>2012</strong> EXHIBITOR SEMINAR LISTING<br />
EXHIBITOR NAME ROOM # DESCRIPTION<br />
3:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.<br />
SFC Background and Theory<br />
Significant strides have been made in SFC in recent years, from instrumentation, chemistries, to applications. In this presentation, we will introduce the<br />
fundamentals of supercritical fluid chromatography, including the properties of supercritical fluid, instrument design, and basic practice. We will also<br />
illustrate its general applicability in many areas, such as pharmaceutical, natural products, pesticides, and chemical material, on both analytical and<br />
preparative scales. <strong>Final</strong>ly, we will introduce the state-of-the-art, next generation of ultra-performance SFC with sub 2 um column chemistries.<br />
Wednesday, March 14, <strong>2012</strong><br />
9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.<br />
Compliance - Qualification of UPLC Systems For use in an HPLC Environment<br />
This session will discuss Liquid Chromatography qualification in general with a focus on Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC)<br />
instrumentation. Particular attention will be paid to systems that will be used to run HPLC methods or a combination of HPLC and UPLC methods. Various<br />
approaches will be considered as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.<br />
You will learn:<br />
• Key specifications to test as part of LC qualification<br />
• What we really learn from performing qualification tests<br />
• A two tier strategy to demonstrate suitability for intended use<br />
10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.<br />
Principles of SPE: Introduction to Solid-Phase Extraction - Why and How to Best Solve Sample Preparation Problems<br />
More and more, analytical scientists are utilizing SPE technology to help solve many of the problems encountered with sample preparation. As newer, more<br />
rapid analytical techniques speed up the work flow in the lab, upfront sample preparation often becomes a bottleneck to productivity. This seminar will<br />
provide you with a strong background on the fundamentals of this chromatographic technology as well as a guide to the powerful SPE processing<br />
strategies that can be used to tackle difficult problems. An SPE demonstration is included.<br />
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.<br />
ASFE: State-of-the-Art<br />
In this presentation, we will introduce the basic principles of supercritical fluid extraction process and the latest development of the analytical SFE<br />
instrumentation. We will also demonstrate the technological advances of the Waters ASFE system through a variety of real-world applications, such as<br />
natural products, flavor and fragrance, and polymer additive.<br />
1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.<br />
Principles of SPE: Troubleshooting Techniques to Maximize Productivity in your Lab<br />
This seminar is designed for those with some experience with SPE and SPE methods development. The discussion will specially benefit those who need to<br />
improve existing methods, or create new methods that are more robust in order to maximize laboratory productivity. Several important topic areas and<br />
tools will be presented: how to improve performance; how to minimize variations in sample % recovery results, the impact of proper sorbent wetting to<br />
reduce variability, and the identification of the root cause of poor recoveries through the use of mass balance and cartridge break-though capacity studies.<br />
You will leave with an important set of tools that will help you be more successful in your SPE efforts.<br />
2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.<br />
What’s New in Empower 3 - Find Out What’s New Features Have Been Added to Empower 3<br />
If you are interested in or have migrated from Empower 2 to Empower 3 you will learn about the new features in Empower 3.<br />
You will learn about:<br />
• Process Only Sample Sets<br />
• Changes to the Apex Track Integration algorithm.<br />
• Calculating USP, EP and JP signal to noise using a blank injection<br />
3:45 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.<br />
Basic UPLC/HPLC Troubleshooting<br />
This session will cover tips and techniques to use with Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC)/ High Performance Liquid Chromatography<br />
(HPLC). In addition, this session will highlight common issues with each aspect of a chromatographic system. General good practices will also be covered.<br />
You will learn:<br />
• How to deal with common issues concerning a chromatographic system<br />
• How to identify and correct problems<br />
• Good practices<br />
