09:30 | Polymeric Monolithic Materials and Liquid Chromatography
Brett Paull, Professor, University of Tasmania, Australia
This presentation will highlight some of the latest and innovative applications of polymer monolithic materials in separation science. The presentation will detail new approaches to the fabrication and modification of monolithic substrates and their further modification with structured and selective surface chemistry/biochemistry. |
10:30 | Coffee Break and Networking in the Exhibition Hall |
11:15 |  | Keynote Presentation Microscopic Description of Transfer Phenomena in Chromatography
Attila Felinger, Professor, University of Pecs, Hungary
The microscopic theory of chromatography describes the evolution of a chromatographic peak as the random migration of the molecules along the column combined with adsorption–desorption processes that occur at random, too. The molecular dynamic model is rather straightforward to comprehend and it can furnish direct answers when one tries to understand the development of chromatographic peaks. |

11:45 | The Power of Liquids - Separations using Liquid-liquid Technologies
Ian Garrard, Manager, Brunel University, United Kingdom
The presentation will describe some of the unique advantages of liquid-liquid technologies, such as the ability to accept particulates or to flow continuously, giving case examples as necessary. |
12:15 | Lunch and Networking in the Exhibition Hall |
13:30 | Poster Viewing Session |
14:15 | Nano-Agglomerated Stationary Phases for Solid Phase Extraction
Damian Connolly, Senior Researcher, Dublin City University, Ireland
The preparation and application of silica monoliths with a dense surface coating of nanoparticles (iron oxide or gold) for enrichment of phosphopeptides or glycoproteins respectively shall be discussed. Furthermore, the preparation of continuous gold films upon capillaries or stationary phases will also be shown. |
14:45 | Novel Developments in Separation Modeling Technology
Imre Molnar, CEO, Molnar-Institute, Germany
QbD and Design Space are new terms for HPLC user. Continual improvement and the establishment of robust methods based on solid science can only be achieved in a short time if modeling technologies are applied. |

16:00 | Plastic Antibodies: A Promising Tool for the Purification and Detection of Biomolecules
Borje Sellergren, Head, Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
The talk will describe our efforts to develop molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), in soluble form termed "plastic antibodies", for use as capture agents in peptide, protein or lipid analysis. I will emphasize the added value of these receptors over their biological counterparts such as the recognition of peptidic biomarkers under nonphysiological conditions e.g. acetonitrile-buffer mixtures or in denaturing media. |
16:30 | Rapid and Sensitive Identification of Bacillus and Clostridium Spore Coat Proteins
Chris de Koster, Professor, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
In this presentation we will highlight the principles of our protein isolation and identification methods to detect covalently bound proteins that are candidates for biomarkers and vaccines at the outer spore coat layer of endospores from Bacillus subtilis and the pathogenic micro-organisms Bacillus cereus and Clostridium difficile. |
17:00 | Homeostasis? Variability of VOC Profiles in Humans and the Implications for Marker Discovery in the Volatile Domain
Paul Thomas, Professor, Loughborough University, United Kingdom
Any individual’s metabolism changes significantly throughout the course of a typical day. How does hunger, stress and digestion affect VOC profiles in human? This presentation describes the research undertaken to characterise such complexity, in the VOC profiles of saliva, skin and breath. |
