Leading chromatography scientists from several major pharmaceutical companies will gather at the Radisson Plaza -- Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia for the SFC 2009 Conference from July 22 to July 23, 2009.
SFC (Supercritical Fluid Chromatography) is an environmentally friendly chemical research and development method promoted by the Green Chemistry Group (Oakmont, Pennsylvania), organizers of this meeting. Increasingly adopted by pharmaceutical companies worldwide, this technology is applied in drug discovery and purification processes.
James Waters, founder of Waters Corporation, will serve as chairman of the conference. There will be an exhibition, a scientific program, and workshops. For more information, visit www.greenchemistrygroup.org.
Improving Fluorescence and Raman Techniques for Environmental Microplastic Analysis
March 31st 2025A recent study conducted at the LaserLaB Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) explored spectroscopic imaging techniques, including Raman and fluorescence microscopy, for characterizing microplastics (MPs), focusing on optimizing sample preparation, particularly density separation, and Nile Red staining.Spectroscopy spoke to Merel Konings, corresponding author of the paper resulting from the study, about her work
New Study Provides Insights into Chiral Smectic Phases
March 31st 2025Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the molecular arrangement of the 7HH6 compound’s smectic phases using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.
