Untapped Potential in Ion Chromatography for Resolving Analytical Challenges
Is it true that the main purpose of ion chromatography is to identify anions in aqueous samples? Even though this is a crucial application of IC, it is simple to overlook that cations are also accessible. Additionally, simple carbohydrates and organic acids are brought up while considering its use in food analysis. However, is this the extent of IC's capabilities?
In this session, let's focus on the actual capabilities and contemporary uses of IC. Let's talk about design principles, improved processes, automation, detectors, and chromatographic selectivities and how they might address the most pressing analytical problems in developing markets.
What you will learn:
- Modern methods for using IC to solve complex analytical issues
- Applications of IC in novel application fields
- Why IC is a method that is user- and future-oriented.
- Why IC is considerably more versatile than anions and cations.
Presenter: Detlef Jensen, PhD (Field application Sr. Expert, EFSI, EMEA, Thermo Fisher Scientific)
Detlef studied Chemistry at the Technical University of Berlin and was awarded his Ph.D. from the Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry in 1989, supervised by Professor Steudel. He started his career as a product specialist for ion chromatography in Germany at Dionex GmbH in 1990. Throughout his professional life, he was accountable for various products and product lines, mainly chromatography, data systems, and spectrometry. After several national and international managerial positions, he now supports users and colleagues at Thermo Fisher Scientific in EMEA as a leading expert in developing and supporting modern separation processes in various scenarios. He is also involved in cooperation with national and international standardization bodies and research institutes. Even after more than 35 years of concentrated experience, he is still astonished and attracted by the possibilities of modern separation techniques, stationary phases, and detection methods. The wise combination of chemical fundamentals of modern separation technology, modern hardware, and data technology to solve complex analytical puzzles still fascinates him.
