100 YEARS OF COMBINED CHROMATOGRAPHIC WISDOM - REFLECTIONS/PREDICTIONS ON HPLC SELECTIVITY, SPEED, & EFFICIENCY
Dr. J.J. Kirkland, Dr. L.R. Snyder
Advanced Material Technology (JJK); LC Resources (LRS)
Abstract:
Introduction:
It is a great pleasure to have both of the “Founding Fathers” of HPLC at our June meeting. These scientists need no introduction. Both have won almost every major Award in Chromatography, have written the standard texts (and are still writing), have trained thousands of chromatographers, have published hundreds of research papers, are on the Editorial Boards of many journals and are still active in contributing to pushing back the frontiers of HPLC.
Abstracts:
Some Reflections on Liquid Chromatographic Selectivity (Snyder)
The speaker has been involved with chromatographic selectivity and method development for over 50 years. He will share some of his experiences from the past, with the aim of illustrating some general principles and peering into the future.
Some Frontiers in High-performance Liquid Chromatography (Kirkland)
Developments along the frontiers of HPLC involve new approaches that now allow difficult problems to be solved quickly and with greater accuracy. Of special interest are new ways for very fast separations, new stationary phase effects, including the separation of water-soluble compounds, and the rapid, high-resolution separation of biomacromolecules.
About the Speaker:
Lloyd R. Snyder received his BS and PhD in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley, in 1952 and 1954, respectively. He was introduced to GC in his first job with Shell Oil, and continued on with LC at Union Oil from 1957 to 1971. His early years were spent developing a theory of adsorption chromatography and methods for petroleum analysis. In 1966 he began work on HPLC that has continued to the present time. From 1971 to 1995, he and Jack Kirkland taught an ACS short course on HPLC to more than 5000 students. Following 11 years directing clinical R&D at Technicon, he formed his own company -- which in 1984 became LC Resources. Dr. Snyder’s recent research interests have included HPLC method development, theories of gradient elution and column selectivity, and computer simulation. He has authored or co-authored several books (many with Kirkland) and several hundred publications on HPLC.
J. Jack Kirkland: After receiving A.B. and M.S. degrees in chemistry from Emory University in 1948 and 1949, respectively, Jack Kirkland worked for Hercules from 1949 50. He left to earn a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Virginia in 1953. Jack was employed by E. I DuPont de Nemours Co. at the Experimental Station, Wilmington, DE, until 1992, when he retired as a DuPont Fellow. He then was a co founder of Rockland Technologies, Inc., where he was Vice President, Research and Development. This organization merged into the Hewlett Packard Co. in 1997, where he was Manager, Research and Development, Newport Site. Hewlett Packard created and spun off Agilent Technologies, Inc. in 2000, where Dr. Kirkland remained as Senior Scientist until his retirement in February, 2001. He joined Advanced Materials Technology in 2005 where he is Vice-President, R&D.
