Hass Distinguished Professor–Analytical Chemistry Department of Chemistry, Purdue University Date: Sunday, March 11, 2012 Time: 4:30 p.m. Location: Chapin Theater, Orange County Convention Center Complimentary mixer immediately following lecture in the Valencia Room. Ambient Ionization and Mini Mass Spectrometers: In situ MS for Everyone Graham Cooks received Ph.D. degrees from the University of Natal (now QuaZulu-Natal) and Cambridge University. His interests involve construction of mass spectrometers and their use in fundamental studies and applications. Early in his career, he worked on energy partitioning during metastable ion fragmentation and contributed to the concept and implementation of tandem mass spectrometry and to desorption ionization, especially matrix-based methods. His interest in minimizing sample work-up and avoiding chromatography contributed to the development of the ambient ionization methods, including desorption electrospray ionization (DESI). Applications of this method in tissue imaging, forensics and pharmaceutics are in progress. These same interests also led to the construction of miniature ion trap mass spectrometers and their application to problems of trace chemical detection. His interests in the fundamentals of ion chemistry include chiral analysis and spontaneous chiral resolution in clusters and the possible role of the amino acid serine in the biochemical origins of life. CAPSTONE LECTURE Steven A. Benner Distinguished Fellow at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 Time: 5:00 p.m. Location: Chapin Theater, Orange County Convention Center Complimentary mixer immediately following lecture in the Valencia Room. Redesigning DNA: Fixing God’s Mistakes Steven A. Benner is a Distinguished Fellow at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, which he founded following service on the faculty at Harvard University, the ETH Zurich and the University of Florida. His research spans many fields in the physical sciences, information sciences and natural history, more specifically in the emerging fields of Synthetic Biology, Paleogenetics, Evolutionary Bioinformatics and Astrobiology. 13 His laboratory invented several redesigned versions of DNA, evolution-based genome databases, some of the first compelling tools to predict protein folds and models for the origin of life. His most recent book is entitled "Life, the Universe and the Scientific Method." . 14 PITTCON 2012 PARTICIPATING SPONSORS We thank the following exhibitors who are participating at Sponsorship Level for Pittcon 2012.

PittcoN 2012 hEritaGE aWarD Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 4:30 p.m., Chapin Theater GENZO SHIMADZU, SR. (1839−1894) Through the Physics and Chemistry Research Institute in Kyoto, Genzo Shimadzu quickly absorbed knowledge about new technologies. Soon he was using his mechanical abilities to repair and maintain foreign equipment, while learning everything he could about the devices on which he worked. Next he began to manufacture such equipment as distillation devices, evacuation apparatus, Atwood’s machines, and medical equipment—supplying them to Japanese schools. GENZO SHIMADZU, JR. (1868−1951) The efforts of Genzo Shimadzu, Jr. to create new technologies were recognized in 1930 by the emperor of Japan, where Shimadzu was designated one of the top ten inventors in his country. He continued to develop new devices throughout his life. By his death in 1951, he had registered 178 inventions in 12 countries. During his lifetime, the Shimadzu Corporation became an innovative force by providing researchers with many tools for discovery ranging from balances to spectrographs to industrial X-ray equipment.

Professor of Physics (1959-1998), founded Niton Corporation in 1987 to develop and market hand-held instruments for analyzing environmental hazards. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1964-65 and 1971-72, and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in 1980-81. He has authored more than 150 papers and was awarded 48 U.S. patents. Room W-300 Orange County Convention Center The James L. Waters Annual Symposium is a unique component of the Pittcon Technical Program. In 1989, Mr. Waters, founder of Waters Associates, Inc., and president of Waters Business Systems, Inc., proposed that the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP) offer an annual symposium exploring the origin, development, implementation and commercialization of scientific instrumentation of established and major significance. The objective of the symposium is to recognize workers, developments and applications of instrumentation by preserving the early, and in some cases more mature history, of the important contributions, as well as the cooperation between inventors, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and marketing organizations. All expenses associated with the symposium are generously funded by Mr. Waters. Administration of the symposium, including selection of the topics and speakers, is the responsibility of the SACP. The Twenty-Third Waters Annual Symposium recognizes the development and application of portable handheld x-ray fluorescence spectrometers. Early handheld XRF units were an important stepping stone in moving from lab to field use. However, they were still too bulky and limited in performance to achieve widespread use. This symposium will focus primarily on the later generation of products that continue to drive explosive growth in the use of XRF in the field. An outstanding panel of speakers has been assembled to recognize workers who are critical in the development, commercialization and application of this important area of instrumentation. The SACP is extremely pleased to welcome these innovators to Pittcon 2012. andrew t. Ellis completed his Ph.D. in 1980. He moved from the UK to join Don Leyden’s XRF group in Denver. Returning to the UK in 1982 to join Link Systems, Andy has remained active in XRF in several Oxford Instruments companies in the UK, recently in Finland and now in the USA developing X-ray tubes. stanislaw Piorek holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Technology and Electronics. He has over 30 years of experience in X-ray and gamma spectrometric methods, specifically in instrument and software design, applications development, marketing and sales to key accounts. As director of applied research for Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers, Dr. Piorek is responsible for the development and support of new analytical methods based on X-ray fluorescence and other, complementary techniques. alan huber is president and co-founder of Amptek, Inc, a company engaged in the development and marketing of X-ray and gamma ray instrumentation for research and industry. He is a graduate of M.I.T. in physics and spent a number of years designing spacecraft instrumentation, primarily for the measurement of charged particles in the near-Earth environment. charles Jensen holds a B.S. degree in Manufacturing Engineering from BYU. He was hired by Moxtek in 2001 to bring the revolutionary Bullet™ x-ray tube into production. In January of 2003, Mr. Jensen became the product manager for X-ray Tubes and assumed responsibility for all x-ray products R&D in 2006. Mr. Jensen is now the CTO at Moxtek. 26 PittcoN 2013 call for ProPosals JamEs l. WatErs aNNual symPosium Please submit proposals by April 30, 2012 to: Proposals are solicited for the 2013 James L.

Roy Koirtyohann Boris L'Vov Walter Slavin Alan Walsh JAMES L. WATERS, ENTREPRENEUR, SPONSOR OF THE WATERS SYMPOSIUM AT PITTCON James L. Waters has been a unique contributor to the Pittcon Technical Program since 1990 through his funding of the James L. Waters Annual Symposium to recognize pioneers in the conception, development, implementation, and commercialization of scientific instrumentation of major and established significance. Mr. Waters has been an entrepreneur since his graduation from Columbia University in 1946. At age 22, he established J. L. Waters, Inc. manufacturing IR gas analyzers, sold that company in 1955, and established Waters Associates in 1958. He developed an airborne hydrometer, flame photometer detectors, and refractometers for various applications. He further developed the refractometer into a sensor for the then little-known liquid chromatograph (LC), and eventually a small-volume sensor for gel-permeation chromatograph (GPC). WatersAssociates’ first GPC, introduced at the 1964 Pittcon, was a great commercial success. In 1968, Mr. Waters refocused his efforts on chromatographic sensors and introduced their first LC system in 1969. Waters Associates trademarked the tagline, “The Liquid Chromatography People”, after they helped purify positional isomers of a precursor to vitamin B12 for Nobel Laureate Robert Woodward of Harvard University. In 1992 Waters introduced software for chromatography, and in 1994 HPLC columns for drug assays and a benchtop LC-MS. All 27 of these actions fueled the growth of Waters Associates, which, under Mr. Waters’ leadership from 1958 to 1980, grew from 5 to 1100 employees with an annual sales volume around $100 million, and to 4000 employees worldwide with an annual sales volume in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Waters has been a private venture capitalist since 1980. He is currently President of Waters Business Systems and enjoys working with young entrepreneurs. Mr. Waters endowed the James L. Waters Chair in Analytical Chemistry at Northeastern University. The name “Waters” has become synonymous with “LC” in the scientific community.

Metrohm USA SR23 Monday, March 12, 2012 10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Hexachrome Testing: The Latest Techniques to Optimize Results – Presenter: Dr. Jay Gandhi This follow-up to last year’s standing-room-only seminar includes a review of current EPA Methods 218.6 and 218.7 — as well as where updates to these methods are headed. Our Cr-6 guru, Jay, will also share his findings on the common pitfalls of, and new techniques to improve, sample preservation for better results. He will also share his data on the common matrix effects with regard to sample handling and preservation. Another don’t-miss event! 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Top 10 Titration Tips Every Chemist Should Know – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler If this headline grabbed your attention, then you already know titrations are anything but easy — and yet, some people have theirs down to a science. Take the guesswork out of optimizing your workflow: our titration applications expert, Frederick, will share his tips & tricks for getting results quickly, accurately — and consistently. This is a great seminar for both Karl Fischer and potentiometric titration users. 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. Karl Fischer: Really Know Your Technique – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler Karl Fischer water determinations are a common lab application — but with a variety of sample types and water values, are you performing them as efficiently as you can? Spend 45 minutes with our titration applications expert, Frederick, and you sure will! This is a back-by-popular-demand seminar. 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Ion Chromatography Troubleshooting & Maintenance – Presenter: Dr. Jay Gandhi There are so many things you can do yourself to help your IC run lean and mean. Give Jay 45 minutes, and he’ll show you ways to get the most out of your system — and keep it running at peak performance between regularly scheduled preventive maintenance visits. Benefits of software-controlled monitoring will also be demonstrated. 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Told to Do More & Keep Accurate? Don’t Hate – Automate! – Presenter: Dr. Hari That’s right, there’s no need to stress — this has been the trend for the last decade, and we don’t see the pendulum swinging back. Tasks such as calibration, homogenization, sample dilutions, complex matrix removal and sample filtration are most tedious, time-consuming and prone to error when done manually. The good news is they can all be automated — and because automation ensures consistency, it ensures better results in the end, too. No matter what your sample type or sample matrix, our applications expert, Hari, will describe the automated sample prep options suitable for assay by titration, as well as ultra-trace analysis by IC and voltammetry. 3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. Can You Titrate Faster? Yes, You Can. – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler Fast, as in 30 – 120 seconds fast! Spend the next 45 minutes with our titration applications expert, Frederick, and discover the benefits of fast titrations by using thermometric or conductivity as a measuring parameter. You’ll hear all about rapid methods for acid number, base number and sodium analysis, among others. 4:00 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. Test the Expert: Titration, Ion Chromatography & Electrochemistry Gurus Answer Your Questions – Panelists: Dr. Jay Gandhi, Dr. Hari, Frederick Fiddler, Mike Kubicsko Spend the end of your Pittcon day with a panel of true experts in ion analyses! Wondering why your titration curves aren’t reproducible? Or why your peaks are inconsistent? Perhaps you believe there’s a better way to accomplish your work, but you’re not sure how to go about it? You and your peers are invited to pose any titration, IC and/or eChem-related question to our panel and get an immediate answer. Hear and learn from your colleagues’ questions! Please note this seminar is open to attendees only, no exhibitors please. 103 PITTCON 2012 EXHIBITOR SEMINAR LISTING EXHIBITOR NAME ROOM # DESCRIPTION Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Inorganic Analysis: Which Technique Is Best for Me? – Presenter: Dr. Hari Choosing the right analytical technique is the key to solving any analytical problem in the lab. Spend 45 minutes with our applications expert, Hari, who will guide you through the most commonly used techniques, including Ion Selective Electrode measurement, Voltammetry and Ion Chromatography. This session is a perfect overview for any chemist in any industry: environmental, chemical, petrochemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and more. 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Can You Titrate Faster? Yes, You Can. – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler Fast, as in 30 – 120 seconds fast! Spend the next 45 minutes with our titration applications expert, Frederick, and discover the benefits of fast titrations by using thermometric or conductivity as a measuring parameter. You’ll hear all about rapid methods for acid number, base number and sodium analysis, among others. 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. Electrodes: Overlooked by Most, Yet Critical to All – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler In fact, electrodes are so critical to the accuracy and reproducibility of auto-titrators and pH meters that using the wrong type or one that was improperly maintained can cause bad results. This seminar will teach you how to choose — and get the most out of — your Metrohm® electrode. Another back-bypopular-demand session you don’t want to miss. 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Hexachrome Testing: The Latest Techniques to Optimize Results – Presenter: Dr. Jay Gandhi This follow-up to last year’s standing-room-only seminar includes a review of current EPA Methods 218.6 and 218.7 — as well as where updates to these methods are headed.

He will also share his data on the common matrix effects with regard to sample handling and preservation. Another don’t-miss event! 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Corrosion Monitoring – a Boon for Power Generation – Presenter: Dr. Hari The bottom line is, “corrosion costs money.” Which is why power plants are turning to ion chromatography to save their bottom line. Corroded and plugged turbines slow power generation and, in worst cases, halt power generation entirely. Monitoring corrosive ions in the water used to propel turbines — down to sub-ppb levels — is easy to do with an at-line IC system and preconcentration technique. Learn all about it in this informative seminar. 3:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. Top 10 Titration Tips Every Chemist Should Know – Presenter: Frederick Fiddler If this headline grabbed your attention, then you already know titrations are anything but easy — and yet, some people have theirs down to a science.

Tosoh Biosciences SR 04 Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:00 a.m. A brief overview of the analysis of biomolecules using gel filtration chromatography (GFC): common issues in method development and troubleshooting. Atis Chakrabarti, Ph.D., Manager, Technical Services, Laboratory Products, Tosoh Bioscience LLC TSKgel® size exclusion columns are known worldwide for their reliability and suitability for the analysis of proteins, peptides, and other biological macromolecules. In 1977 Tosoh introduced TSKgel SW series high performance gel filtration columns which have become synonymous with analyzing protein molecular weight in the field of biotechnology. TSKgel G3000XL columns are the industry standard for quality control of monoclonal antibodies. The focus of this talk will feature an overview of TSKgel SW series gel filtration columns available from Tosoh Bioscience as well as a discussion of column lifetime issues and common method development and troubleshooting issues encountered in size exclusion chromatography. 11:00 a.m. Detection of Protein Heterogeneity by HPLC Dr. Kawai, Separation Center, TOSOH Corporation Antibodies and recombinant proteins are now widely used for therapeutic treatment, thus the evaluation of the heterogeneity of a therapeutic antibody is essential during development, stability testing and in the quality control of the final product. In this presentation the detection and separation of protein heterogeneity by HPLC using four different modes of chromatography is demonstrated. High resolution nonporous resin columns for Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEX) and Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) were used for the analysis of antibodies, showing a sensitivity level of 1 residue difference of the proteins. Using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) columns, baseline separation was achieved for a monomer (150 kDa) and a dimer (300 kDa) of a human monoclonal antibody. Papain and pepsin digested antibodies were resolved to separate Fc, Fab and intact protein to baseline resolution, also by SEC. A new reversed phase chromatography (RPC) column with a large pore size of 300 Å is shown to be applicable for the evaluation of protein heterogeneity. 2:00 p.m. Bridging the gap in polymer characterization: Single- and multi-detector SEC Amandaa Brewer, Ph.D., GPC Technical Specialist, Tosoh Bioscience LLC Since its inception, the principle use of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) has been to determine the molar mass averages and distributions of natural and synthetic polymers. In general these properties have been characterized through the application of calibration curves via single-detector instrumental set-ups, e.g. SEC-refractive index (RI). Over the years as the complexity of polymers has increased, the ability to obtain accurate and precise distributions of both their physical and chemical properties have piloted a new era of polymer analysis: multi-detector SEC. In this presentation polymer characterization via single- and multi-detector SEC, namely the coupling of SEC to various combinations of RI, UV-Vis, multiangle light scattering (MALS), and differential viscometry (VISC), will be discussed. In addition, an overview of both multi-detector technologies as well as applications of natural and synthetic polymers will be provided. 3:00 p.m. Improved GPC Performance from Multiple Pore Size Chromatography Particle Technology and an Excel-based Column Selection Tool Joe Machamer, GPC Marketing Manager, Tosoh Bioscience LLC A novel approach to solve the linearity problems of mixed bed and multiple columns of different pore sizes linked together was developed by Tosoh scientists and is incorporated in TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ columns. These columns are packed with small particles of uniform size and synthesized with a broad distribution of pore sizes. This novel approach creates a linear calibration curve within each particle. Therefore, columns with an extended linear calibration curve can now be prepared without mixing particles of different pore sizes. Their small ID (4.6mm) and length (15cm) reduces solvent consumption and results in quick run times, and offers high throughput capabilities. Tosoh Bioscience has developed an Excel-based tool to plot calibration curves for various combinations of column pore size distributions. Benefits include accurate prediction of the behavior of combinations of mixed bed columns with individual pore size columns and trade-offs between run time and resolution.
