It is the scientific argument
equivalent of ?Which came first,
the chicken or the egg?? only in
this case it is ?Liquid
Chromatography or Spectroscopy,
primarily Mass Spectroscopy?? One
could debate the criteria as to
which form of each we are voting
on but the premise remains the
same as is the inescapable fact that
the two do actually have a
symbiosis and exist to each others
mutual benefits on an increasing
level especially at the life sciences
end in the pharmaceutical industry.
The spring symposium of the
Chromatographic Society debated
this inter dependency in a
fascinating manner with well
practised speakers in the tandem
field of LC- (almost any
spectroscopic technique but
primarily Mass) in a two day
meeting entitled ?Advances in
LC/MS and Related Hyphenated
Techniques? held in Sunderland, UK
during May 13/14th. Alongside
vendors, some of whom made
interesting presentations, almost
80 interested participants attended
from the UK and Europe.
