36th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques June 18, 2011

The series of HPLC Symposia started in 1973 and currently the symposium is held at least annually. It is organised in alternating years in locations in North America and in Europe. In addition, meetings are held in places outside of these territories, especially in Asia.

The International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques is an international forum for scientific discussion of the methods of high performance liquid chromatography in its various forms, along with the complementary separation techniques such as electrophoresis, electrochromatography, field-flow fractionation, supercritical fluid chromatography and hyphenated techniques, such as LC-MS and CZE-MS. The field of microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip is also included.

At the HPLC 2011 Budapest Symposium all kinds of application areas relevant to the use of liquid phase separations as well as fundamental studies on advances in separation theories will be covered. Special emphasis will be put on current research areas characterized by innovative development. The HPLC Symposia are definitely valuable resources for analytical chemists, biochemists, molecular biologists, and those in the separation sciences seeking practical solutions.
