for future development needs.
Featured Workshops
Fundamentals of LC/MS
This workshop provides an introduction
to LC/MS technology, terminology, procedures and applications. You
will learn about LC/MS instrumentation, LC/MS information, and proven industry
examples. Useful insights for the incorporation of LC/MS into your
work are discussed.
- LC/MS System Components
- Description of Instrument Processes
- Understanding LC/MS Data
- Examples of LC/MS Procedures
Useful information about the fundamentals
and operation of LC/MS instrumentation is provided. Practical applications
introduce you ways you apply LC/MS in your own laboratory.
Emerging LC/MS Applications for Drug Development
LC/MS is being widely implemented throughout
drug development. This workshop focuses on the current strategies
using LC/MS for:
- Drug Target Identification · Pharmaceutics
- ADME Studies · Quality Control
- Process R&D · Patent Protection
Practical examples will provide the opportunity
to discuss these and other opportunities in drug development. Performance
benchmarks will be explored. Discussions will inspire creativity
for new applications and performance.
Qualitative Structure Analysis Using LC/MS
The capabilities of LC/MS for providing
structure-based information are being widely utilized throughout drug development.
Structural information is providing information for regulatory support,
as well as optimization of drug structures, properties, processes and products.
LC/MS technology actively provides information for:
- Compound Confirmation
- Template Structure Identification
- High Resolution Analysis
- MS/MS Screnning Techniques
- MSn Substructure Analysis Maps
The application of these techniques for rapid structure analysis is highlighted.
Screening for Drug Discovery Leads Using LC/MS
This workshop examines the highly productive and informative LC/MS methods being
implemented for screening of drug candidates during discovery research. Procedures
are discussed for screening of drug leads in:
- High-Throughput Synthesis Support
- Early Characterization of Pharmaceutical Properties
- Drug-Protein Affinity Screening
New LC/MS methods accelerating the earlier identification of leads and facilitating
iterative stages of drug optimization during discovery are described. The production
of successful drug development candidates with these methods is illustrated. LC/MS protocols
that provide information for the early elimination of drug candidates that would have
failed in development.
LC/MS Method Development Strategies
An overview of nine effective strategies
for LC/MS applications is highlighted. Recent industry applications
illustrate the incorporation of these strategies into LC/MS methods.
These strategies will be explored to assist:
- The development of LC/MS methods
- Increased productivity and efficiency
- Information for earlier assessment of drug candidates
A recent survey of recent LC/MS applications
from drug development will illustrate the incorporation of these strategies
into proven applications.
Managing Mass Spectrometry Technology
This workshop examines "management" issuesthat deal with implementing mass
spectrometry-based technologies in industry. Whether your primary responsibilities
are in the laboratory or office, this workshop will provide stimulating discussion
on opportunities to maximize returns on technology investment.
Case studies are used to illustrate strategies
that increase productivity and benefit your organization. A discussion
of new ideas, proven methods, and valuable insights that bring focus on:
- Keeping current with trends
- Staffing, recruiting, motivating, and retaining personnel
- Managing collaborations and work flow
- Information management strategies
- Instrument evaluation and selection
The workshop features interactive discussions
designed to illustrate innovative concepts and allow you to incorporate
these ideas into the framework of your organization.
