(meeting report on Chromatographic Society event taking place at The Heath, Runcorn on March 18th, 2009)

“The principal aim of The Chromatographic Society is to foster the development of separation science in the UK. Accordingly, in the preparations for this meeting the question which kept recurring was, “Why hadn’t we done this meeting before?” Through the successful Triad meetings during our Golden Jubilee year, and indeed at many other one- or two- day symposia, we had showcased all that is very good in Separation science in the UK pharmaceutical industry. However we have never, formally reviewed the status of separation science across all the other sectors.
