In May, I announced that CASSS organizes a discussion group about consulting.
Today, I would like to mention next discussion group focused on New directions/developments in Separation Science.
The meeting is taking place on September 15th, 2010 in Woodfin Suites in Emeryville, CA at 6 pm.
Personally, I am looking forward to attending this meeting. The topic as well as a list of panelist (see below) are very interesting. It will be nice to hear opinions about new directions in separation science from people with different background and experience.
I have to admit that my knowledge, interest, and predictions focus mainly on liquid chromatography (and monoliths, of course;) so I am very curious about other topics, such as sample preparation, miniaturization and/or new materials in separations, which are possibly going to be part of the discussion too (I don’t know, just guessing;)
The information from CASSS website
Today’s sophisticated separation and analytical instruments and techniques bear scant resemblance to the “absorption analysis” technique reported by M.S. Tswett in 1903. But that same drive for innovation and improvement is alive and well in 2010.
Join us for a lively discussion on the latest trends and technical innovations presented at the Pittcon, ASMS and HPLC conferences this year. Question our expert panelists on where the trends might be taking the industry – and what to watch out for.
One thing is constant in this field … change. From mergers and acquisitions to plenty of new products – stay abreast of the trends that will affect you most.

I will try to remember (ie. make notes of;) discussed topics and possible conclusions and bring them to you here on chromatographer.com soon after the meeting. Keep in touch.
