Deirdre Cabooter: LCGC's 2017 Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award Winner

Deirdre Cabooter is an emerging leader in chromatography known for her work exploring the possibilities and limitations of the kinetic plot method for comparing the kinetic performance of chromatographic separation methods and columns. Joining the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in 2011, where she is currently an associate professor, Cabooter has continued her stellar research and taken on responsibilities in the organization of the popular symposium series HTC. She recently spoke to LCGC about her career and work so far. Read more

Validation Study of SPE of Base, Neutral and Acid Semi Volatiles in Industrial Waste Water

SPE has long been used for the analysis of semi-volatile organics in clean matrices. Due to the unique challenges inherent with waste water matrices laboratories have predominately adhered to LLE (Liquid Liquid Extraction) protocols. Attend the Webinar to see the validation study using FMS TurboTrace ABN SPE system can improve the quality and increase throughput for your laboratories extractions. View the Prerecorded Webinar
