Please Note: LCGC's PharmSep Symposium has been postponed until September 2008.  Please check this site regularly for updates. LCGC’s PharmSep Symposium has been specially designed for separation scientists working in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical environments.  The conference is teeming with the leading experts in the field who will be hosting technical sessions and speaking on the topics that matter most to both bench chemists and lab managers alike.  This forum promises to deliver the kind of practical, nuts-and-bolts information that you seek.  Here you will find information that you can take home and use in your lab, explained to you by speakers who have decades of experience in their own labs. And with the best and brightest minds in the field assembled in one venue for four days comes the rare opportunity to network with and learn from colleagues who do exactly what you do, and who also understand this very specialized, close-knit community of separation science.  Delivering practical information to make labs more productive is what LCGC is all about, and this event will embody and expand that mission. The information-rich agenda can be customized so that you can attend only the sessions that are of the most interest to you. From the magazine that is the Chromotographer's Choice, with 80.9% of readers stating that LC GC is "very good" to "excellent" in providing new chromatographic information*, comes a conference like no other.   (*2007 Readership Study Conducted by Advanstar Research Services) The PharmSep Symposium Delivers -Peer-to-Peer Interaction and Discussions with Industry Experts -Real World Case Studies and 16 Interactive Tutorials -2 Short Courses on HPLC and GC by Leading Industry Experts -Exclusive Social and Networking Opportunities -An Optional Technology Demonstration Luncheon by Hitachi -Choice of 4 Interactive Focus Groups     1.      LC Method Validation         2.      Methods & Instrumentation for LC-MS     3.      Advanced Chromatography – Fast Separations     4.      Protein & Post-Transitional Modification Characterization Plus! 2 Keynote Presentations: MOLECULAR MEDICINE, The Increasing Importance of Instrumentation in Discovery and Health Assessment Fred Regnier, J.H.
