Dr. Patrik Petersson
Principal Scientist, Ferring Pharmaceuticals
Title of Keynote Lecture: Application of 2D-LC-MS for analysis of pharmaceutical peptides
Patrik Petersson is a Principal Scientist at Ferring Pharmaceuticals in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has been working within the pharmaceutical industry with the development of analytical separation methods for 29 years within research as well as all phases of development. During the time within industry the link to the academia has been maintained through collaborations, teaching and supervision of MSc/PhD students. This has resulted in 71 publications and 31 oral presentations at national/international conferences. The majority related to chromatography but also capillary electrophoresis and modelling/chemometrics.

Dr. Pascal Cardinael
Professor, University of Rouen Normandy
Title of Keynote Lecture: How to design microcolumns for comprehensive GC
Pascal Cardinael obtained his Ph.D. degree in Analytical Chemistry in 2000 from the University of Rouen (France). In 2002, he became a Lecturer at the Laboratory of Separative Methods and Sciences UR3333 at the University of Rouen Normandy, and was appointed Professor of Analytical Chemistry in 2011. He has been managing the Laboratory since 2022. The Laboratory focuses on the development of new stationary phases and miniaturized columns for Gas Chromatography and High Performance Liquid Chromatography for space exploration missions and on-site monitoring. All practical and fundamental aspects of comprehensive two-dimensional Gas Chromatography are also studied, including miniaturization, modulator technology, retention modeling, and coupling with high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Dr. Thomas Dutriez
Senior Manager, PSS Labs CoE, Givaudan International
Title of Keynote Lecture: GC×GC-MS - Fragrance Allergens - The Olympic Gold Standard
Thomas Dutriez obtained his Ph.D. degree in Analytical Chemistry in 2010 from the University of Paris (France) and IFP Energies nouvelles. He then continued his career as a scientist in gas chromatography and mass spectrometry at DSM (Netherlands), during which his work on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography was awarded by the John B. Phillips award in 2013. In 2014, he joined Givaudan International (Switzerland) to establish the analytical laboratory dedicated to quantifying regulated substances in fragrance ingredients. Currently, he leads the Product Safety Sciences Laboratories at Givaudan International, a center of Excellence dedicated to conducting regulatory analytical and environmental studies at a global level to address the growing regulatory requirements.

Guided Discussion Groups 2024
Advantages and Limitations of GC×GC in Government and Industrial Laboratories
Haleigh Boswell
Chevron Technology Center
Sarah Prebihalo
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Comprehensive gas chromatography (GC×GC) is a common technique used in government and industrial laboratories; however, it has struggled to gain widespread acceptance due to perceived complexity and a lack of standardized and validated methods. Furthermore, the technique is not directly comparable to historical data sets and previously used analytical techniques. Overcoming these challenges and limitations in non-academic laboratories is a critical aspect of research by experts and advanced GC×GC users. Advanced users must be vocal advocates, highlighting the advantages of GC×GC in cases where the additional separation data can be advantageous. By addressing the benefits and limitations of this technique, this discussion will aim to address how we may elevate GC×GC in industrial and government laboratories, including, but not limited to, the role of obtaining employment in these sectors, allowing for further integration into the GC×GC community.

University of Liege
GC×GC system performance is influenced by many parameters, including modulator type, column set, detection method, and data processing software. This discussion will be focused on the development of a standard test mixture that can be used to compare GC×GC system performance across instruments and laboratories.
