Sustainable Purification of Amberketal: Centrifugal Partition Chromatography for Fragrance Industry Applications (Isomerism Part 3)
Download, Education, NewsFrom October 11-14, the scientific team of RotaChrom will be in Lisbon at the 18th “International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques”, also known as SPICA 2022.
SPICA is the most important worldwide event to find out about the latest developments and best practices in the field of Preparative and Industrial Chromatography.
According to SPICA, “the symposium is an exclusive multi-disciplinary forum for expert scientists working in fundamental research and practical applications of Preparative Separation Sciences in the domains of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, polymers, natural products, food, and fragrances.”
Presentations by prominent scientific figures from academia and Industry will provide you a thorough view not only on the most recent scientific developments but also on the industrial challenges and opportunities which will be exhibited with case studies.
Among everything else, poster exhibitions, educational workshops, free vendor seminars and even a commercial exhibition are also going to be some of the main features of the 2022 SPICA symposium.
Where to find RotaChrom at SPICA 22?
RotaChrom’s scientist Gergo Dargo will hold a vendor seminar titled “CPC Simulator – Accelerating Method Development in Centrifugal Partition Chromatography”.
According to the seminar abstract “the selection of an adequate biphasic solvent system (SS) in liquid-liquid chromatography is of utmost importance as it directly affects the efficiency of the separation. As the polarity range to cover can be quite wide, starting from the least polar SSs with no water content (e.g., alkane/methanol) to the most polar aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS), the selection process becomes laborious and time-consuming if done by the empirical trial-and-error method. If literature data is available for the family of compounds to be separated, the optimization process can be accelerated, however, the literature often lacks the necessary data, especially in the case of drug-like molecules.
To remedy this, several attempts have been made to establish simplified SS selection strategies and there is also an increasing trend for using computer-aided methods. Along these lines we developed a comprehensive prediction platform – called CPC Simulator – including an extensive database, a SS selection algorithm, and a visualization tool. In this vendor seminar, we intend to present the concept, components, validation, and operation of this brand-new software through some representative case studies.”
Gergo’s seminar will take place on Thursday, October 13 from 12:50-13:50. After the seminar, feel free to ask any questions about Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC) or any related scientific topics.
SPICA History in a Nutshell
The “International Symposium on Preparative Chromatography and Allied techniques (SPICA)” is a worldwide multi-disciplinary medium for experts active in all divisions of fundamental research and practical applications of Preparative Separation Science in life and natural sciences. This includes all the corresponding fields of chemistry, biology, polymers and biotechnology. In the beginning, the conventions were known as “PREP”. They were then later re-named to “International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques”, with the acronym SPICA. The conference is held every two years in locations within Europe.
Where does SPICA 22 take place?
The “International Symposium on Preparative Chromatography and Allied techniques (SPICA)” 2022 will be held in Lisbon, capital city of Portugal. More precisely, it will take place in the Lisbon Congress Center. The center can be found almost right next to the river and the nearby historical and cultural heritage of Belem.
Lisbon is very easy to reach by plane, railway or even by car.
The congress center is located at:
R. do Bojador 47
1990-254 Lisboa
Portugal
When does it take place?
The “International Symposium on Preparative Chromatography and Allied techniques (SPICA)” 2022 will take place in 2022, from October 11 (Tuesday) to 14 (Friday).
