This autumn, we've been lucky in the gas chromatography world to have had two high quality events take place within the UK.
Firstly, the Separation Science conference on New Horizons in Separation and Detection Techniques 2011 took place over the course of two days at the beginning of October at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London. I was privileged to be asked to present at this amazing venue, in the footsteps of our great scientists. The conference was well balanced in the different separation techniques, with a good proportion of the presentations on gas chromatography with well known speakers, unlike many events which tend to have a very high proportion on liquid chromatography. The whole event was excellent for the cross-pollination of ideas between different industries as well as different techniques, we hope this conference will become a regular entry in our diaries!
The annual joint Chromsoc and RSC Analytical North West Division meeting on Advances in GC Technology took place in Runcorn in early November. The success of this meeting was apparent many weeks before the event took place, as it was fully booked with both delegates and vendors, with a waiting list! Who said that gas chromatography is dead? Focusing on gas chromatography and related techniques, with well known speakers travelling from across Europe it was a very enjoyable day. Again, I was privileged to be asked to present on some work I've been doing on GCxGC with a flow modulator coupled to a standard benchtop quadrupole MS. This is definitely an event that needs to take place on a more regular basis!
