Chromatographic Society Meetings Round-Up - Advances in High Resolution and High Speed Separations - John Lough

Belying the general gloomy atmosphere prevailing over the developed world pharmaceutical industry, an encouraging number of approximately 116 delegates descended upon AstraZeneca’s new Alderley Park conference centre to engage with the latest advances in high resolution and high speed separations. Appropriately there was also a good turn out of exhibitors (12) led by Gold Sponsors, Waters. In terms of quality of scientific meeting the bar has recently been raised by Spring Symposia drawing speakers not just from the UK but also from nearby mainland European countries. This meeting followed the same pattern, UK speakers in fact being comfortably outnumbered.
