Best poster award at HPLC 2016 San Francisco
The third place in the Best poster award competition was granted to Assoc. Prof. Lucie Nováková at „44th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques“ (HPLC 2016) conference in San Francisco, USA, 19. – 24. 06. 2016. HPLC 2016 is the greatest conference in the field of separation science focused on chromatographic, electrophoretic and hyphenated separation techniques and sample preparation. This award was a recognition of traditional long-term collaboration of Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy with University of Geneva, Department of Analytical Sciences and its presentation as a poster:
L. Nováková, V. Desfontaine, F. Ponzetto, R. Nicoli, M. Saugy, J. Veuthey, D. Guillarme: „UHPSFC-MS/MS as a viable option in doping control analysis“, poster P‑Th‑2013.

On October 24, 2014, The Analytical Scientist magazine published its annual Power List, featuring 40 individuals under the age of 40 who are already having a big impact on the field of analytical science.
Rich Whitworth, editor of The Analytical Scientist, explained the change in direction: “Last year, we profiled the Top 100 most influential analytical scientists, shining the spotlight on some of the scientists, engineers, and business leaders at the top of their game. It was controversial, but it also generated a great deal of excitement. This year, we wanted to shift the focus to the next generation. The new list loses none of the diversity found in our inaugural Power List, and also proves just how bright the future of analytical science is.”
“It has been an inspirational experience working with the Top 40 Under 40 to find out what makes them tick. It quickly became clear that they all share two characteristics: an absolute passion for science and the desire to forge their own path.” (web link) (web link cze)

10th anniversary of UHPLC
The 2014 is an anniversary of 10 years of UHPLC technique, which was commercially introduced by Waters in 2004. At this occasion, one of the most recognized analytical journals Trends in Analytical Chemistry is preparing a special issue concerning UHPLC technique. Our group had an honour to participate in this issue based on the invitation to write a review dealing with HILIC in UHPLC analysis, which has just been accepted and published.
SFC tutorial
A Tutorial dealing with the "analytical supercritical fluid chromatography using columns packed with sub-2 μm particles" was published in Analytica Chimica Acta (Volume 824, 8 May 2014, Pages 18–35).
New HRMS instrument at Faculty of Pharmacy
A new HRMS system was installed in a newly-build LC-MS laboratory at the Department of analytical chemistry in November 2013. The system consists of Acquity UPLC I-class and Synapt G2Si Q-TOF mass spectrometer. Opening ceremony of this laboratory took place in January 2014. (web link, web link 2)
