CE in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals Industries
9th Symposium on the Practical Applications for the Analysis of Proteins, Nucleotides and Small Molecules

October 14 – 18, 2007
Hyatt Regency, Miami, Florida

The goal of this Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent developments in CE analysis of protein, nucleotide and small molecule pharmaceuticals. The presentations and workshops will be devoted completely to practical concerns to strengthen the use of CE within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Applications will highlight uses of CE in various areas of product development including high throughput screening, formulation studies, process development, product characterization and validated lot release and stability testing. The Symposium will feature presentations from leading experts within the industries and the regulatory agencies (FDA, Health Canada, European Pharmacopeia). The workshops will allow for open discussions of specific techniques and/or applications including protein analysis, carbohydrate analysis, CE/MS, oligonucleotide and chiral separations as well as validation of CE assays for product release. Specifically, two workshops will focus on the implementation of assays, including assay troubleshooting, assay transfer, and instrument qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ).

The Symposium will begin on Sunday, Oct. 14th with two full-day optional practical Courses. The Symposium will include three full days of seminars, practical workshops, technical seminars on different CE applications, networking lunches and reception and poster sessions. The Symposium will end on Thursday, Oct. 18th with a full day optional advanced Course. Kevin Altria from GlaxoSmithKline will teach “Method Optimization and Troubleshooting in Capillary Electrophoresis”.

As in past years, the California Separation Science Society (CaSSS), a not-for-profit professional association designed to organize symposia and provide other educational and networking opportunities for separation, pharmaceutical and bioanalytical scientists throughout the world, will organize the Symposium.
