PITTCON 2012 KEYNOTE LECTURES
PLENARY LECTURE
R. Graham Cooks
Henry B. 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.

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.

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." .

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.

Where:
lee Grodzins, M.I.T. Professor of Physics (1959-1998), founded Niton
Corporation in 1987 to develop and market hand-held instruments for analyzing

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Fundamentals of Capillary Ion Chromatography
Capillary IC introduced in 2010 uses packed columns with internal diameters of 0.4 mm and flow rates of 10 µL/min, thus enabling continuous operation
with less than 15 mL of mobile phase per day. Less sample volume is required due to increased mass sensitivity, better fit for interfacing with mass
spectrometry due to lower flow rates and increased sensitivity in 2 dimensional separations using a 4 mm inner diameter column in the first dimension
and a capillary column in the second dimension. Capillary IC is also the perfect fit for columns with smaller particles which are operated at higher
backpressures and higher flow rates to increase chromatographic efficiency and resolution or to accelerate the separation.

Converting from HPLC to UHPLC Methods - Eliminating the “Guess Work”
In recent years, there has been a strong and continuing trend towards faster separations in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This is mainly
driven by innovations in HPLC instrumentation and column packing technology. However, in method transfer from HPLC to UHPLC, it is usually sufficient to
maintain the resolution of the original method. Therefore, a popular strategy is to use smaller particles in shorter columns–this approach maintains
resolution and provides faster separations. Rather complex calculations are required to adapt parameters, such as flow rate, injection volume, or gradient
profile, to the new column characteristics. The Thermo Scientific Dionex Rapid Separation LC (RSLC) Method Transfer Calculator is an electronic tool,

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.

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.

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.

technology can best be utilized in laboratories that follow chromatographic test methods found in compendial monographs. We will provide examples of
drug final formulations assays taken from the USP-NF that were successfully transferred to UPLC along with routine analysis studies where the long-term
robustness of the UPLC methods was evaluated.
2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Theory and Practice of Ultra Performance LC® Technology
What is Ultra Performance LC? Is it based on real science or is it marketing hype? Learn about the chromatographic theory and principles behind UPLC
technology and discover how the predicted speed, sensitivity and resolution benefits are actually achieved. We will discuss band spreading and its effects
on efficiency, van Deemter curves and peak capacity charts and how the length and particle size of an LC column can be used to predict efficiency and
throughput gains by seeing how these variables (and others) affect resolution as described in the fundamental resolution equation.
