Join us for a dinner and networking event Tuesday March 14, 2023, at the Westwood Tavern in Schaumburg, IL. What we know about PFAS compounds is changing every day, as the list of compounds continues to grow and be detected in more products and the environment. Historically, targeted LC-MS/MS methods have been used to detect and quantify a limited list of these compounds, though there is increasing interest in non-targeted methods, which look at total fluorine and give a better picture of the overall impact. The US EPA has acknowledged this shift in thinking with the proposal of method 1621, which screens for adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF) using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). In this talk, details of upcoming method 1621 will be discussed along with an optimized sample prep and CIC solution.
Dr. Shibu Paul, is a Product Specialist, Ion Chromatography at Metrohm USA, and has been with Metrohm for 12 years. Dr Paul has more than 30 years of experience in the food, environmental and instrumentation industries, working in positions from bench chemist to laboratory director. Dr. Paul has a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry from Cochin University of Science & Technology, India and a master’s degree in business administration (M.B.A.) from the University of South Florida.
“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.”
