Integrating Charged Aerosol Detection into Chromatographic Workflows

July 24, 2024 | 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. MDT

A truly universal chromatographic detector remains one of the most sought after tools by analytical scientists. In this lunchtime seminar, Professor James Grinias of Rowan University will describe the efforts of his laboratory on adopting charged aerosol detection as a way of achieving such detection. Discussion will primarily focus on how to integrate CAD into chromatographic workflows, including key factors to obtaining suitable performance that may not be considered when utilizing other detection modes. Applications of interest will also be described, primarily focusing on the analysis of non-chromophoric species of interest within the pharmaceutical industry.

Speaker: Dr. James Grinias, Ph.D. – Rowan University

About the speaker

James Grinias

James Grinias
James Grinias is a Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Rowan University. His research interests primarily focus on liquid-phase separations, especially the fundamentals of column and instrument design in liquid chromatography. For over a decade, he has focused on increasing the efficiency and throughput of these separations, especially with capillary-scale columns. He has applied these techniques to a wide variety of molecular classes, including pharmaceutical compounds, neurotransmitters, physiological metabolites, and drugs of abuse. More recently, his group has focused on instrument miniaturization, especially for portable liquid chromatography separations, two-dimensional separation techniques, and microfluidic platforms.

He received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014 and then moved on to a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan until the end of 2016. James has received a number of awards for his work to date, including the HPLC 2013 Csaba Horváth Award, the 2020 Young Investigator Award from the Chinese American Chromatography Association, a National Science Foundation CAREER grant, the 2021 Satinder Ahuja Young Investigator in Separation Science Award, and the 2021 LCGC Emerging Leader Award. He was also named to The Analytical Scientist’s “Top 40 Under 40” Power List in 2018 and 2022. To date, he has published nearly 50 articles and been author or co-author on over 120 oral/poster presentations.

In addition to his research interests, James has held several service roles within the research community. He has been a co-editor for a special issue of the Journal of Chromatography A and is a regular reviewer for several other analytical journals. He recently served as the President of the Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley and is currently the Chair of the American Chemical Society Subdivision on Chromatography and Separations Chemistry. James also regularly serves on the organizing committee of the HPLC Symposium Series.
