“Using neutrons to measure the structures at play at ILL, we were able to analyse the composition of the surface behaviour of the proteins – the most important agent in the water purifi cation process. This neutron diffraction was used in combination with mass spectrometry and chromatography, as well as X-ray crystallography at our partner the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF).
“Globally, the aim is to capitalise on this traditional water purifi cation process to improve access to clean drinking water. We are looking to share our understanding of Moringa’s potential at a government level in Africa and hope this work can be scaled-up and used for any future technologies that emerge.”
Professor Adrian Rennie, the corresponding author, said: “We are hoping to continue identifying the roles played by other components in the seeds and recognise which varieties are best suited to various practical applications. In parallel, there are already efforts to disseminate the understanding from our work for practical use in countries across Africa where Moringa grows.”

44th International Symposium On Capillary Chromatography and the 17th GC×GC Symposium
The 44th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography, is to be held from 24-29 May 2020 in Riva del Garda, Italy. ISCC 2020, better known as Riva 2020, is a unique forum to share ideas and experiences on chromatography and related techniques.
The 17th GCXGC Symposium, organised during the same period allowing scientists to attend both meetings, will start on Sunday 24 May with two short courses covering the fundamental aspects and applications of comprehensive GCxGC and LCxLC and a plenary session on Monday 25 May. The ISCC meeting will start on Tuesday 26 May and continue through Friday 29.
Apart from the most recent advances in the fi elds of pressure and electrodriven microcolumn separations techniques and comprehensive 2D GC, this year particular emphasis will be directed again to Capillary Chromatography, Multidimensional Chromatography, including Comprehensive
Separation Technologies, and hyphenation with various forms of MS from unit-mass to high resolution, and from single to hybrid analysers.
As always, many awards will be assigned in both the ISCC and GC×GC events, recognising excellence in both established and young scientists, as well as many scholarships for young scientists. Travel Grants are also available for young scientists.
Exhibitors and sponsors are a fundamental part of the meeting (without them…Riva wouldn’t be Riva!) and are encouraged to participate by reserving booth space and becoming a sponsor and to promote the ISCC and GC×GC events.
In 2018 we had more than 700 participants from 43 different countries and 35 sponsors. Take a look to the “PAST SYMPOSIA” and “PHOTO GALLERIES” of the past editions on the left menu of the symposium webpage

1 March 2020 - Abstract deadline for Poster Presentation to be included in the Book of Abstracts.
21 March 2020 - Within this date, information will be given on the acceptance of oral presentations
1 April 2020 - Deadline for Reduced Registration
1 May 2020 - Deadline for Registration for inclusion of the abstracts in the Book of Abstracts 1 May 2020 - Preliminary Program
