Join us for a dinner and networking event Wednesday September 10, 2025 at the Westwood Tavern in Schaumburg, IL. The lecture, presented by Autumn Payne, will cover learnings and insights of the newly released QSight500 UHPLC-triple quadrupole system, focusing on StayCleanTM technology that allows for increased robustness, better ion transmission, less contamination buildup and less required maintenance. StayCleanTM Ion Source is designed to handle increased matrix components while overcoming contamination buildup and avoiding subsequent interferences. The instrument performance will be highlighted by a variety of studies testing for robustness, and applications that Perkin Elmer has successfully implemented, including pesticide/herbicide/fungicide analysis and PFAS analysis in a variety of dirty matrices.

Autumn Payne is a Field Application Scientist currently working at Perkin Elmer, specializing in LC and LC-MS/MS applications. She has been with the company for three years and is based out of Kalamazoo Michigan. Her previous experiences were as a lab manager and analyst in environmental testing laboratories. She operated a variety of instruments (ICP-OES, ICP-MS, GFAA, HPLC-UV, UHPLC-MS/MS, GC-FTIR, GC-MS) for the analysis of plants, drinking water and wastewater samples. She has a passion for delivering clean and safe products that are quality tested for potential contaminants of concern. She also values providing support for laboratories through the learning process with new instruments. In her free time, she enjoys adventuring outdoors and spending quality time with loved ones and her two handsome cats.
“I now have a better understanding of how HPLC works and why column choice is so important.”
“It is a fantastic course for learning the theory of LC and method development”
“The instructor, Merlin Bicking, is very helpful. It was great to see how wiling he is to answer questions and all the variety of methods he worked on.”
“I am just beginning my position from out of school. I found the course very insightful in terms of preparation for my future career”
“It is very useful for me because having hands on experience, which helped me to understand more of HPLC.”
“Great class. Would easily take again and recommend Dr. Merlin anytime. Would love to take his other courses. If he had a book would quickly buy for reference.”
