The conference will be comprised of plenary and keynote lectures, prominently featured poster presentations, and the largest, most comprehensive display of commerical products related to liquid phase separations and analysis. There are several components to the HPLC series of symposia that make it such a valuable resource for analytical chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists, and those in the separation sciences seeking practical solutions. One of the key aspects of the meeting will be its extensive technical program of lecture and poster presentations which will focus on providing practical solutions to address the diverse challenges faced by today's scientists. Another important component is the well-valued educational programs. The short course educational program is designed to allow you to gain insights into the latest, most popular areas of liquid-based separations and apply them to meet your specific needs. The workshops focus on providing quick, effective tools and techniques to address various practical problems.
