Exhibition Showcase
HPLC 2016 San Francisco will showcase the industry's latest and greatest in instrumentation, software, tools, accessories and consumables covering all areas of liquid-phase separation science and related techniques. This major exhibition offers opportunities to view new product launches, to check out innovative products, to explore ground-breaking technologies, and to discuss challenges and solutions with experts in the booths. Mark your calendar to attend the largest global, multidisciplinary gathering of separation scientists who are looking for immediate solutions to the most pressing challenges of today and tomorrow. HPLC 2016 is the conference of the year that covers all areas of liquid-phase separation science and related techniques with state-of-the-art format, stronger content, expanded program of experts, training programs, user groups, multitudes of posters on display throughout the exhibit hall, prominently featured poster sessions, best poster competition, huge exhibition where companies launch new products and showcase the latest instrumentation, software and tools, and abundant networking opportunities.

Great Training Opportunities
Two days of Educational Short Courses will be offered the Sunday and Monday preceding the conference. There are nine practical short courses taught by leading academic and industrial scientists covering both fundamentals as well as real-world application examples. The presentations will provide the valuable technical knowledge you need to implement techniques and solutions to improve job productivity, to solve today's separation problems as well as to understand tomorrow's technology. 

• HPLC and UHPLC Troubleshooting: A Performance Qualification Approach
• LC/MS/MS Strategies for Identification and Quantitation
• Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography: Principals, Instrumentation, Method Development, and Applications
• The Role of Chromatography in the Analysis and Characterization of Protein Therapeutic Drugs

Free Tutorials
The tutorial track is part of the educational mission of HPLC 2016. Experts are asked to give 45-60 minute presentations on a topic with more background than might be found in a typical 20 minute talk. The goal is to make the topic more accessible to those less expert in the area. In some cases, discussion and other interactive activities may be used.
