Is Two-Dimensional LC Worth the Effort?
Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D LC) is a powerful technique, but method development is more involved and time-consuming. So for what types of analyses does it make sense to invest the extra effort to develop a 2D LC method instead of a 1D method? Dwight Stoll explains. More...

Editors’ Series: Investigating the Potential Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing on Private Well Water Quality
Thursday, May 8, 2014, 8:00 AM PDT/ 10:00 AM CDT/ 11:00 AM EDT
Until now, limited studies have been performed regarding the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing for harvesting natural gas. In this seminar, Kevin Schug discusses the suite of analytical methods (including headspace-GC, GC-MS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, total organic carbon, and ion chromatography methods) his team developed to evaluate the quality of private well water in proximity to natural gas extraction sites. This talk will report on the results of their studies to date, future plans, and the opportunity presented by his baseline studies of future fracking sites. |

Clinical Applications of LC-MS: Development and Research Application of a Highly Sensitive LC-MS Method for Quantification of a Cholesterol Protein in Plasma
Thursday, May 15 , 2014, 8:00 AM PDT/ 11:00 AM EDT/ 4:00 PM BST/ 5:00 PM CEST
This webinar will discuss this method, from method development (optimal antibody determination using MSIA and SRM LC–MS-MS in terms of PTM determination, LOD/LOQ, and linearity over PCSK9’s clinical dynamic range) to applying to a test case with control plasma samples and samples with a known mutation to determine method specificity. In summary, a robust and sensitive MSIA-SRM method was developed for the absolute quantification of all PCSK9 domains and a PTM in plasma. |
