INNOVATIONSISSOi1T10MIS HPLC HPLC Systems and Components Introduced at Pittcon 2011: A Brief Review

摘要

Because Pittcon attracts upwards of 20,000 attendees from indus-try, academia, and government from more than 90 countries worldwide, the conference provides a great opportunity for vendors to expose new high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) products to both new and existing customers. With this fact in mind, many HPLC vendors have for years coordinated their new product development cycle around Pittcon, introducing new technology at the conference for the first time. Although the proliferation of smaller, specialized conferences has altered this approach somewhat in recent years (for example, many new mass spectrometry [MS] product introductions are now made at the American Society for Mass Spec-trometry annual conference), Pittcon still remains a must-attend meeting to see the latest and greatest in HPLC and related technology. For the attendees, the conference provides a venue to evaluate the latest instrumentation, compare vendors, participate in product demon-strations, and speak with technical staff to resolve problems or investigate poten-tial applications.
