to be bedded in as permanent fixtures in the HPLC programme. Also very popular (and not just for those who like to o-d on cookies at the back of the room!) are the lunchtime vendor sessions. Delegates are clearly very interested in announcements of the latest introductions from the key players. Where there used to be Acquity and Infinity there now seems to be a bewildering range of U-HPLC instruments. “New column chemistries” often means the same old column chemistries but on smaller particles. However, to their credit, Waters were able to present on a new range of stationary phases in which the surface has been ‘doped’ to prevent the band broadening that can come with increasing load of basic compounds on even the best of reversed-phase materials.

ISC 2010 is also not a Chromatographic Society meeting but at least the Society was one of the three national societies from UK, Germany and France responsible for staging meetings in the ISC series every two years. ISC 2010 was an important meeting and the principal Spanish organisers, Joan Grimalt and Yolanda Pico are to be congratulated on bringing a distinctive Mediterranean flavour to the series. There were large numbers of young presenters and a strong emphasis on electrophoresis and applications such as food and
Probably just as important as the meeting itself was what was going on behind the scenes. The final discussions took place in changing the
organisational structure behind the ISC series so that the Permanent Scientific Committee will now include representatives from South Europe, North Europe and Central/East Europe and EuSSS as well as from UK, France and Germany. With this widening of participation it is hoped that this very long-running series will now go on from strength to strength. ISC 2012 was confirmed for Torun, Poland and the nomination of Salzburg, Austria for ISC 2014 was accepted.
New Syncronis Range of HPLC Columns Launched
When developing a new method, one of the key goals for the chromatographer is to achieve a consistent, reproducible separation. The selection of a highly reproducible HPLC column is essential to attaining this goal. The new Syncronis column range has been engineered to deliver exceptional reproducibility by providing highly pure, high surface-area silica, dense bonding and double endcapping, all controlled and characterized through rigorous testing.
New enhanced, automated column packing methods used within the Syncronis range deliver greater consistency, and every column is individually tested to ensure that it meets the required specifications. These extensive testing and quality control procedures ensure the delivery of a completely consistent product, column after column.
Thermo Fisher Scientific announce the new Thermo Scientific Syncronis HPLC column range. This new range unerringly delivers consistent, predictable separations, from run to run and column to column.
Syncronis columns are available with 5 µm particle size for conventional HPLC applications and with 1.7 µm particle size for high-speed, high- efficiency UHPLC separations.
