<h4><strong>Social programme:</strong></h4>
<h5><strong>A tour of Regional Office of National Heritage Institute</strong></h5>
<p>The Archaeological Department of the National Heritage Institute, Regional Office in Olomouc has been carrying out excavations in the territory of the former capital of Moravia for 50 years. In recent years, interdisciplinary cooperation with natural scientists – archaeobotanists, palynologists, anthropologists and, last but not least, chemists from the Faculty of Science of Palacký University – has been successfully developing. Examples of jointly researched artefacts include a prehistoric depot from the site of Benkov near Uničov, medieval silk textiles from Křížkovského Street in Olomouc or small objects of daily devotion in the modern period from the same research.</p>

Advances in Chromatography and Electrophoresis & Chiranal 2022 - Programme

<p><strong>STARSS project is approaching its end after more than five years. A few more months remain before it will be concluded. The major objective of the project was to create a strong team of researchers enabling significant progress in the field of the separation science. The annual STARSS conferences have always been a good opportunity to bring people from several Czech and European institutions in Hradec Kralove where we have met face to face for a few days in order to inform each other about the progress in the research. It is clear that the focus of these conferences has been on the exchange in scientific information. However, an integral part of our previous conferences has also included informal meetings when we had time to talk about issues sometimes even completely outside of science perhaps with a drink and food. Social part of conferences is simply indispensable.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I trust that this conference will be at least as interesting as all the previous ones. Its program is rich and includes presentations by renowned “icons” of separation science from both abroad and the Czech Republic, as well as talks given by students and postdocs. Such “cross-pollination” will certainly be uplifting for all involved. I wish all those who attend this conference a pleasant stay in Hradec Králové and enjoyable conferencing.</strong></p>

6th STARSS Conference on Separation Science (Program)

<p><strong>Prof. Ing. Michal Kohout, Ph.D. is originally from southern Bohemia. He started studying at UCT Prague in 2000 after high school in Soběslav. After his postdoctoral research at the Institut of Analytical Chemistry of the University of Vienna, he decided to return to his alma mater, UCT Prague, and extend, apply and transfer knowledge and experience he gained abroad. He was recently named full professor and, in addition to research and teaching, considers his mission as professor to be setting an example for students in terms of not being afraid to start one’s own business since he, with colleagues, founded a UCT Prague spin-off company, Galochrom, discussed below.</strong></p>
<h5><strong>What does your research group do? What is the focus of your research activities?</strong></h5>
<p>We have been dealing with liquid crystals for a very long time. Liquid crystals are organic materials with various applications, and as research evolves, it’s expected that liquid crystals will have some added value in real-life applications, beyond simply being liquid crystalline (e.g. being chiral, sensitive to light or to magnetic fields). We try to modify molecules so that they can handle the various demands that modern materials chemistry places on them.</p>
<p>The second area of focus, chiral stationary phases for liquid chromatography, I brought back with me to UCT Prague from my post-doc stay. In liquid chromatography, we study systems that are used in the analysis of drugs (if an active substance is chemically and optically pure), for example.</p>
<p>Together with my colleagues and students, we also work on various side projects in classical organic chemistry, such as organocatalysis.</p>
<h5><strong>Most people can only conceptualize solid crystals. Can you introduce us to the world of liquid crystals?</strong></h5>
<p>It’s quite simple: liquid crystals are basically crystals too. One can imagine a crystal as being an ordered and oriented structure with molecules precisely and unambiguously arranged in space. Liquid crystals also have these characteristics, but their molecules can also move and are mobile even though they have, let’s say, a partially-preserved crystalline structure, for they are in the so-called mesophase. To conceptualize this, one could simply compare this to a system of straws floating in the same direction, because the molecules are arranged like this and are able to move when acted upon by an external impulse (e.g. electric or magnetic field or light). A structure can be rearranged so that it occupies a new, lowest energy arrangement. Liquid crystals are used, for example, in optoelectric devices, and we’re all surrounded by liquid crystals, which are not just used in monitors, televisions, and watch displays, but also in soap or cell membranes. One doesn’t even realize how many liquid crystalline substances and systems actually are all around us in the real world.</p>

<h5><strong>Is there anything else you’re up to that you’d like to tell us about?</strong></h5>
<p>I’d put liquid chromatography into the background a bit. Let me put it this way: the world of liquid crystals research is a kind of long-distance race, and we don’t know for sure if and when relatively complex molecules will be used. They certainly have the potential to be used in real life, but in the distant future. It is not easy to prepare and enhance them, so that they meet various requirements and do as many extra things as we would like.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if we look at the area of chromatography, the real world application of new research results happens relatively quickly. If we prepare a chromatography column that is significantly better than what’s currently on the market, it might be commercially interesting and result in a product that we’ll see on the market in our lifetimes.</p>
<p>But it bothers me and my colleagues that even the development of unique stationary phases is still too slow, that it takes too long for a chromatographic column to reach the market. In 2017, we tried to approach several large manufacturers with a unique system we patented. Unfortunately, there was no interest in this technology because manufactures would have to change their production technologies slightly. Because of this, my colleagues and I decided to found our own company, the Galochrom, UCT Prague spin-off. This way, we also wish to show younger colleagues and students that they don’t have to be afraid of starting a company and entering the business world.</p>
<h5><strong>How is Galochrom doing?</strong></h5>
<p>We are in the early phases. We founded the spin-off in September 2023, and since then, we placed second in a European start-up competition, which we consider to be a great success. We are currently trying to put the first products on the market and prove that they are better than those already available. Of course, we believe that our products will be adopted.</p>
<h5><strong>What practical value do you think your research and professional activities have for society and your field?</strong></h5>
<p>Our multimodal columns will have a wider range of applications and will thus be able to replace three to four standard columns. This will lead to dramatic savings for end users as well as lower solvent and solvent disposal costs.</p>
<p>As for liquid crystals, they’re a long shot, as I’ve already said, but we might, for example, use a system of so-called dopants. Let’s take a photosensitive material. We don’t have to use it as a single component; instead, we can add it to a cheaper commercial material and mix it (5-10%). Thanks to the dopant, an entire system is sensitive to light and we can not only switch individual parts (pixels) from the mesophase to the liquid phase, but also read this information with a laser. Such systems could serve as optical memories.</p>
<h5><strong>You recently became a full professor. What does this mean for you? What do you teach and what are your first impressions as professor?</strong></h5>
<p>Of course, I consider this a great personal success built upon the great work and support by my students, colleagues, and mentors. My original motivation for entering academia, a long time ago, was a promise I made to my dad: that I would graduate as one of the best in my class at UCT Prague. And I’ve made it this far, so I think he would be proud of me and that fills me with a certain sense of fulfilment. I teach organic chemistry. So for first impressions: I have more work, but it’s interesting for me, nevertheless, to teach students who are just starting their university programs. My lectures before this were for advanced students and doctoral candidates. All of a sudden, when you’re teaching core subjects, you start trying not to influence students’ mind sets too much while still conveying the information in some absorbable way, reassuring them that chemistry is actually cool and that chemists are pretty normal people.</p>
<h5><strong>It must be quite challenging to capture the attention of an auditorium full of people and to decide how much to go into detail. Do you struggle with this kind of thing? Do you have any tricks for engaging your audience?</strong></h5>
<p>It’s true, when you enter an auditorium and there are 180 people sitting there instead of 20, it’s really an incredible difference. It’s not so much about the number of people itself, because there are about the same number of people at conference presentations, but conference attendees are experts who aren’t really surprised by anything in the field. Teaching core subjects is rather about setting some level of comprehensibility for what you’re explaining.</p>
<p>Gradually, I’m getting faster at preparing my lectures, but at first, it was very time-consuming. Yet, during the class, sometimes I still get taken away a bit and then I get behind and play catch up. (He laughs.)</p>
<p>As for student engagement, I tell my colleagues that I’m trying to use my latent theatre talents, so hope that&#39;s at least somewhat successful. I’m going back in time a couple of decades and am going to use some simple, themed experiments from back then in my lectures.</p>
<h5><strong>You started studying at UCT Prague in 2000. What do you think has changed the most for students since then?</strong></h5>
<p>Definitely the quality of the food in the canteens. One hundred percent! But what has really changed for the better are the travel possibilities. That&#39;s the biggest shift I see. Today, it’s easy to go abroad for a semester, almost whenever you want. There are countless ways to do this. I remember how I tried to do an internship during my doctoral studies, but preparations were crazy. So instead, I arranged at a conference with my mentor’s colleague to join her laboratory within a European project because it was so much easier to go this way. Going abroad gives you a wealth of new experiences, and it’s great that this option is much more accessible than before.</p>
<h5><strong>Is there anything that you did not like as a student and managed to change—or are at least trying to change—as a professor?</strong></h5>
<p>For a relatively long time, my colleagues and I tried to appeal to UCT Prague’s management to provide competitive scholarships for doctoral students. Doctoral candidates are the UCT Prague’s main strength because without them, the university couldn’t do basic research. They should be valued accordingly. So I’m a supporter of finding ways to increase scholarships and I think we’ve been quite successful in this regard.</p>
<h5><strong>What would you like to achieve in your professional and personal lives?</strong></h5>
<p>As a professional, I would like that the things we’ve invented would actually be used. Research, whatever form, should aim at developing things that are useful for humanity. Basic research is great, but I like finding applications while striving to advance both science and society as a whole. Why else would we be here?</p>
<p>Personally, my highest priority is work-life balance. Achieving some reasonable balance with work, what I like to do, and time for family.</p>
<h5><strong>What does the future hold for your research group?</strong></h5>
<p>The long-term plan involves spin-off companies and connecting academia with the commercial sector. Engagement in basic research is necessary for finding usable materials and applications, yet connecting these applications directly to the industrial sector is crucial for us. The plan is to try to make a platform for quick and simple technology transfer at UCT Prague.</p>
<h5><strong>What do you do when you turn out the lights in your lab?</strong></h5>
<p>I have hobbies I’ve done for a long time. I’m either going to volleyball or trying to go fishing. Fishing is more time-consuming, so I mainly stick to volleyball. And, of course, I’m running home to spend time with my loved ones.</p>

These chiral phases have demonstrated excellent selectivity and improved peak resolution, resulting in highly accurate and replicable analyses. Our innovative manufacturing and strict quality control ensure that these generic columns not only outperform commercial alternatives, but also meet your technical requirements.</p><p><strong>Chiral </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1241"><strong>ION-QN</strong></a><strong> &amp; Chiral </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1240"><strong>ION-QD</strong></a><strong> represent the most efficient approach to purify and resolve even the most challenging mixtures.</strong></p><h5><strong>Applications</strong></h5><p>Chiral ION-QN &amp; Chiral ION-QD are ideal for enantioseparations of:</p><ul><li><strong>N-protected amino acids</strong></li><li><strong>Aminophosphonic &amp; Aminosulfonic acids</strong></li><li><strong>Lactic &amp; Thiolactic acids</strong></li><li><strong>Clenbuterol &amp; Thyroxine</strong></li></ul><h4><strong>2.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/wp_002641_ic_dionex_inuvion_ionic_small_polar_compounds_wp002641_na_en_9c0213a96b.pdf"><strong>Developing an ion chromatography system</strong></a></h4><ul><li>Technical note</li></ul><p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><p>Ion chromatography (IC) has become essential for analyzing ionic and small polar compounds. It has been applied in many areas, ranging from the analysis of drinking water, food and beverages, and cooling water to lithium-ion battery research, process quality assurance, and the presence of corrosives in liquified petroleum gas.</p><p>IC can trace its origins to work done at what would become Dionex Corporation in the mid-1970s with the introduction of the first ion chromatograph in 1975, the Dionex™ Model 10 IC system. This system had the essential elements of an IC system: a pump, separating column, eluent suppressor, conductivity detector, and data recorder (Figure 1).</p><p>This basic system provided adequate data, but several factors restricted sample throughput and required a considerable investment in labor and significant expertise to maintain. Column capacity and packed bed suppressor capacity were limited, and the instrument configuration was inflexible, constraining the type of samples that could be analyzed. Offline suppressor column regeneration was needed, the pressure tolerance was low, and the background conductivity was comparatively high. Furthermore, manual peak integration was required, eluent usage was significant, and there was substantial run-to-run variability. Since the Dionex Model 10 IC system, many innovations have been developed and incorporated into new systems to address these deficiencies. Additional advancements have enhanced robustness, reliability, user-friendliness, functional flexibility, and integrated data analysis. Ideally, an ion chromatograph will meet current customer demands while being adaptable to address potential future analytical needs.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>The progression from the Dionex Model 10 IC system to the sophisticated Dionex Inuvion IC system highlights the significant advancements that have been made in the field of IC. These advancements have not only addressed previous limitations but also introduced new features and capabilities that significantly enhance the performance, reliability, and user-friendliness of IC systems. As a result, the Dionex Inuvion IC system represents the current pinnacle in the ongoing development of IC technology, setting a new standard for what can be achieved in the analysis of ionic and small polar compounds.</p><p>The Dionex Inuvion IC system is the result of state-of-the-art techniques and processes used to manufacture, design, and optimize essential hardware components such as pumps, instrument electronics, range-free detectors, and conductivity cells. This integration of advanced technology has resulted in a system that is not only reliable and robust but also flexible and user-friendly.</p><p>As we look to the future, the field of ion chromatography will continue to evolve with new challenges and opportunities on the horizon. The Dionex Inuvion IC system is well-positioned to meet these challenges, providing laboratories with a reliable and efficient solution for their analytical needs. In conclusion, the Dionex Inuvion IC system represents a significant achievement in ion chromatography, solidifying Thermo Fisher Scientific's position as a leader in the industry.</p><h4><strong>4. Waters Corporation: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/2024_asms_alelyunas_cellculturemediabioprocessing_27380a2953.pdf"><strong>A High Throughput LC-MS Method for Cell Culture Media Nutrient and Metabolite Analysis Supporting Upstream Bioprocessing</strong></a></h4><ul><li>poster / <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/companies/296"><strong>ASMS</strong></a></li></ul><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p>A 9-minute rapid and direct liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis method for cell culture media (CCM) nutrients and metabolites covering 220+ compounds is described. The method is based on reversed phase chromatography where amino acids are directly detected without derivatization. This rapid method reduces turn-around time for monitoring and decision making using previously established user-friendly data review workflows and access to multivariate data analytics (MVDA). The method has been applied for the qualitative and quantitative determination of cell culture media nutrient and metabolite analysis in commercial cell culture media and spent media from process optimization in cNISTmAb production using NISTCHO cells. Monitoring of glucose directly from media using this method was also investigated and described.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p><ul><li>A rapid throughput method based on 9 min data acquisition is described for cell culture media nutrient and metabolite monitoring.</li><li>The method uses less than 10 μL of spent media sample and has coverage of 220 compounds.</li><li>Comparison with the previous 20 min method suggests the same high-quality data and method robustness, even when the analysis time is shortened by 50%.</li><li>Combination of the rapid throughput method with Waters bioprocess walk-up solution<sup>2</sup> can enable analytical scientist and bioprocess engineers to obtain high quality data easily and routinely for upstream bioprocess optimization.</li></ul><h4><strong>5. Shimadzu: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_01_00767_en_135939ebe6.pdf"><strong>Automatic Optimization of Gradient Conditions by AI Algorithm for Impurity Analysis</strong></a></h4><ul><li>Application</li></ul><p><strong>User Benefits</strong></p><ul><li>The AI algorithm of LabSolutions MD can automatically optimize gradient conditions to greatly reduce labor of LC method<br>development.</li><li>Anyone can optimize gradient conditions, regardless of their experience in chromatography.</li><li>Gradient conditions that meet the resolution criteria for specified peaks are automatically searched (e.g., principal component and its related impurities).</li></ul><p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><p>In the typical LC method development, the process begins with “preparation” which includes mobile phase preparation, column installation, and creation of analysis schedules, then the analysis is started. After that, the acquired data is analyzed and “preparation” for the subsequent analysis is carried out, followed by starting the next analysis again. The method development progresses by repeating these processes, but in addition to the significant time required to repeatedly create analysis schedules, expertise in chromatography is necessary to explore optimal conditions based on data analysis. In other words, typical method development requires “human intervention”. Therefore, eliminating human involvement and automating such method development processes would be desirable to improve labor efficiency. This article introduces an example of automatic optimization of gradient conditions to separate montelukast (a small molecule drug) and its related impurities using LabSolutions MD (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.shimadzu.com/an/sites/shimadzu.com.an/files/pim/pim_document_file/technical/technical_reports/22105/c190-e309.pdf">Technical Report C190-E309</a>), a dedicated software for supporting method development.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>Automatic optimization of gradient conditions using AI algorithm of LabSolutions MD was applied to montelukast and its related impurity. As a result, gradient conditions that met the criteria (“resolution for montelukast and related impurity &gt; 3.0” and “elution time of the last peak &lt; 15 minutes”) were successfully explored. This result indicates that significant labor saving in method development can be expected by LabSolutions MD. This article introduces an automatic optimization of gradient conditions in method development while LabSolutions MD also supports a series of workflow of method development, including the screening phase and robustness evaluation phase.

Agilent Technologies: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_polar_nitrosamines_1260_infinity_ii_multisampler_5994_7589en_agilent_22cb1563ee.pdf"><strong>Improved LC/MS Performance to Determine Polar Nitrosamines Using the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Hybrid Multisampler</strong></a></h4><ul><li>Application</li></ul><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This application note demonstrates the use of the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Hybrid Multisampler for the analysis of polar nitrosamines injected from organic solvents of high elution strength. The 1260 Infinity II Hybrid Multisampler is used under optimized feed speed conditions to trap and enrich the polar nitrosamines on the column. This avoids breakthrough and provides better peak shapes with more reliable quantification and improved detection limits.</p><p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><p>With the chemical synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), impurities occur during chemical reactions. Genotoxic impurities (GTIs) are especially important because of their carcinogenic potential. To control the amount of GTIs, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicine Agency released guidelines for the maximum intake of GTIs with the daily dose of a drug depending upon the duration of application. According to these guidelines, the exposure to an individual genotoxic impurity must be below 1.5 μg/day for an application time longer than ten years.<sup>1</sup> In 2018, the drug Diovan was withdrawn from the market due to an increased amount of the nitrosamine impurity N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the included API valsartan.<sup>2,3</sup> This application note describes the results achieved by the Agilent 1260 Infinity II hybrid injector for the analysis of nitrosamines injected from high organic solvents. The peak performance, like area precision, linearity, and sensitivity, will be discussed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>This application note describes the comparative measurement of nitrosamines using the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Hybrid Multisampler in feed injection mode and classical flow through injection mode. With the application of an optimized feed injection method, highly polar nitrosamines in a solvent of high eluting strength can be separated with good peak shapes. With classical flow through injection, massive peak broadening or even breakthrough were observed. Peak area RSD and LOQs are typically lower by a factor of 3 to 5 with feed injection.</p>
