Speeding Up Size-Based Separations and Improving the Richness of Analysis
Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) also known as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) using Refractive Index (RI) and Light Scattering (LS) detectors is the preferred method for determining relative and absolute molecular weight (MW) data of (co)polymers, respectively. Substantial acceleration of size-based separations remains difficult to achieve due to column packing pressure limitations and the obtained information using only RI and LS detectors is limited, especially in the case of copolymer analysis.
Nomination for Annual Uwe D. Neue Award in Separation Science at HPLC 2023
About the Award
The Uwe D. Neue Award was created to recognize scientists who have made and continue to make significant contributions to the field of separation science, in honor of the legacy of Dr. Uwe D. Neue, late scientist and Waters® Corporate Fellow. The award will be given at the at the 52nd International Symposium on High-Performance-Liquid-Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2024) held from July 20-25, 2024 in Denver, Colorado, USA. The award is sponsored by Waters Corporation.
Eligibility Criteria
The award will honor a distinguished industrial scientist, 15-20 years or more after receiving his or her degree, who has made a significant contribution to the field of separation science. In addition, the awardee should be an industrial scientist, and one who was instrumental in the embodiment of technology in commercial products.
Nominations
The deadline for completing and submitting the nomination information packet is December 10, 2024. The nomination packet will include a CV with nominating letter by the original nominator and a supporting document by a second person. Both letters should describe an individual's impact on separation science based on presentations, publications, patent records, prior honors, and contribution to innovative products as well as impact on others who he/she has managed or trained. The packets will be valid for three consecutive years. The packet should be submitted to Martin_Gilar@waters.com.
Selection Process
Nominations will be considered by a group consisting of selected members of the Permanent HPLC Symposium Committee, and industrial researchers.
Awardees
The award recipient will receive a commemorative plaque, a $7,500 check and travel support. He/she will have an opportunity to present a research lecture at the following HPLC Symposium. The 2024 award will be given at the 52nd International Symposium on High-Performance-Liquid-Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2024) held from July 20-25, 2024 in Denver, Colorado, USA.
