Theoretical and Practice Comparison of One-Dimensional and Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Chromatographic Techniques
Dr. Frank David
Research Institute of Chromatography and University of Ghent, Belgium
Abstract:
For the separation of mixtures of high complexity, high peak capacities are required. In this respect, comprehensive techniques including GCxGC, LCxLC and SFCxLC have received much interest and the chromatographic community seems excited about the recent developments. Although the theoretical potential of these comprehensive techniques are known, some fundamental questions still remain unanswered. How does the performance of currently available comprehensive techniques compare to that of one-dimensional separations taking into account that nowadays peak capacities as high as 1,000 can be reached in 1-D GC, LC and SFC and what is required in instrumentation and experimental conditions for comprehensive techniques to reach their ultimate potential?
About the Speaker:
Dr. Frank David received his PH.D degree in 1986 at the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry of the University of Gent under the direction Prof. Dr. M. Verzele. Since October 1986, Frank has been the R&D manager at the Research Institute for Chromatography (RIC) in Kortrijk, Belgium under the direction of Prof. Dr. Pat Sandra. Dr. David is author of more than 100 scientific papers in several different areas of separation science. His expertise includes capillary gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), GC-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), GC-atomic emission detection (GC-AED), liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), multidimensional chromatography (GC-GC, GCxGC, LC-GC) and miniaturization and automation of sample preparation.
Dr. David is also consultant for instrument manufacturers and for industrial laboratories in environmental, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In this function he has a great deal of experience in theoretical and practical training courses. Since September 2004, Frank is also visiting professor at the Pfizer Analytical Research Center of the University of Gent.
