Introduction

As anticipation builds for HPLC 2024, I find myself reflecting on the discussions and discoveries from the previous year’s conference. Although I won’t be attending this year due to prior commitments, the buzz surrounding the upcoming event has prompted me to reflect on the insights gleaned from HPLC 2023.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the key takeaways from the symposium, offering a glimpse into the exciting developments and discussions that shaped the conference.

Biopharmaceutical and Oligonucleotide Drivers:

HPLC’s pivotal role in biopharmaceutical research took center stage at HPLC 2023. Participants engaged in discussions highlighting the importance of HPLC techniques in analyzing biotherapeutics and oligonucleotides, showcasing the continuous advancements in this crucial field.

Green and Sustainable Analytical Chemistry:

A notable theme at HPLC 2023 was the growing emphasis on green and sustainable analytical chemistry. Researchers deliberated on strategies to minimize waste and embrace eco-friendly solvents, signaling a collective shift towards more environmentally conscious practices within the scientific community.

Multidimensional LC and Ion-Mobility:

Multidimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) and ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) emerged as pivotal areas of interest, offering enhanced analytical capabilities and deeper insights into complex molecular interactions.

Bioinert:

The spotlight on bioinert systems and columns underscored the industry’s dedication to enhancing biocompatibility and analytical precision. Innovations in this realm cater to diverse applications, further enriching the field of chromatography.

As we reflect on the dynamic discussions and breakthroughs from HPLC 2023, it’s evident that the symposium served as a catalyst for collaboration and knowledge exchange within the chromatography community.
