On April 23, 2026, we will be hosting an inspiring and practical workshop on Size Exclusion Chromatography (GPC & SEC) in Breukelen.

This day is specifically intended for researchers and developers who work with biomacromolecules or polymers and use GPC/SEC in their daily practice.

During this workshop, we will bring users, experts, and technology partners together for a day full of in-depth content, current developments, and valuable encounters. You can count on concrete applications, new insights, and direct interaction with specialists from both research and industry.

Experts from Knauer, Postnova Analytics, and AppliChrom have already agreed to contribute. We will let you know as soon as the program is finalized.

What can you expect?

• In-depth presentations on biomacromolecules, polymers, and advanced separation techniques

• Insight into new EU regulations and their impact on the requirements for products analyzed with GPC and/or SEC

• The latest developments from industry and academic research

• Open discussions with other GPC/SEC users facing similar analytical and regulatory challenges

• Updates on column materials and innovative developments in detection technology

Who is this workshop intended for?

• Researchers and developers in biomacromolecules or polymers

• Laboratory heads, analysts, and quality managers

• Scientists from universities and research institutions

• Professionals who want to learn more about modern GPC and SEC methods and relevant regulations

Whether you are active in fundamental research, product development, or quality control, this workshop offers an excellent platform to deepen your knowledge, exchange practical experiences, and strengthen your professional network.

Program:

Time: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (doors open at 9:30 a.m.)

HPLC/GPC training course ‘Get more out of your HPLC and/or GPC’

We cordially invite you to an exciting 3-day training course ‘Get more out of your HPLC and/or GPC’, on November 28-30, 2023 in Breukelen, NL.

Reason

The reason for organizing this event stems from a common observation in the field: often users are not fully aware of the extensive capabilities that HPLC and GPC/SEC offer for determining things like mole mass and size of components. Your HPLC or GPC/SEC system is often capable of providing more information than you may suspect.

Aim

During this training course you will have the opportunity, under the guidance of two renowned experts, namely Dr. Christian Dauwe of AppliChrom and Dr. Klaus-Dieter Bures of WGE Dr. Bures, to discover how to take advantage of the various aspects of these analytical techniques on the basis of a practical example with gummy bears, including packaging. This will cover the following possibilities:

Determining low molecular weight components using HPLC
Determining high molecular weight components via Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC).

We will teach you how to determine the identity, concentration, molar mass and molecular size of different components taking into account various factors such as the type of chromatography column, measurement conditions and detector type.

Using a practical example with gummy bears, including packaging, low and high molecular weight components are determined.tector.

In addition, we will update you on the latest developments in HPLC and GPC/SEC to keep you fully informed about the capabilities these analytical techniques have to offer.

We look forward to seeing you at this valuable training! Undoubtedly, it will help you take your knowledge and skills in HPLC and GPC/SEC to the next level. Register and discover the unprecedented capabilities of your analytical systems!
