Virtual Issue: Macromolecular Seperations II

CHROMATOGRAPHIA is delighted to bring you its Second Virtual Issue on Macromolecular Separations, celebrating some of the work in this regard published in the journal during the last two calendar years. The original papers highlighted in this virtual issue show how techniques as diverse as size-exclusion chromatography, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation, high-temperature interaction polymer chromatography, and even inverse gas chromatography and ion chromatography have been applied to the study of macromolecules. Using these techniques, researchers probed the structure of both synthetic and natural polymers; determined molar mass, size, chemical composition, and interaction and solubility parameters and dispersive surface energies of polymers and polymer composites; examined detector and wavelength orthogonalities; measured column end efficiency and bed heterogeneity; and determined the stability of monoclonal antibodies in the presence of excipients and degradation products. We expect contributions to the journal in these areas to continue to grow and welcome your submissions. In the meantime, please enjoy the articles in this virtual issue.

  • André Striegel

    André Striegel received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry & his BS in Chemistry from the University of New Orleans, followed by a postdoctoral research position at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research. Before becoming Assistant Professor of both Analytical and Materials Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at FSU in 2004, he worked for Solutia (now Eastman Chemical). In September 2011 he joined the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), where he is currently Scientific Advisor in the Chemical Sciences Division of the Material Measurement Laboratory.
