ELSTREE, UK, June 21, 2007 -- The 12th Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation in Separation Science sponsored by Waters will take place in Staple Inn Hall, High Holborn London on the 19th September.

Denis Desty was a passionate scientist and communicator. He took every opportunity possible to pass on his knowledge and enthusiasm for science. He presented his famous 'Flames are Fun' lecture at the Royal Institution in December 1989, and so fulfilled a much-cherished ambition by standing in the same 'sacred' place as one of his heroes, Michael Faraday.

This year the Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation in Separation Science will take place in Staple Inn Hall, High Holborn, London. This change of venue is as a result of the Royal Institution undergoing a major refurbishment.

Staple Inn Hall will open for registration and coffee at 9:30am with the lectures starting at 10:30am. To recognise this the 12th Desty award the theme this year is 'Innovation'. All the lectures will be presented by leading separation scientists from major industrial companies and Universities using and developing chromatographic supports, columns and techniques.

Ed Bouvier (Waters) will present the first lecture and talk about miniaturized pumps for HPLC. Following Ed Chris Bevan (GSK) will ask the question "What role does innovation play in big pharma analysis?" After this Joe Takarewski (ThermoFisher Scientific) will present his views on the reemergence of Turbulent flow chromatography".

The final lecture before lunch will be given by Jorg Kutter (Technical University of Demark) "The quest for the perfect stationary phase for on-chip chromatography".

After lunch Colin Creaser (Nottingham Trent University) will talk about "Combining Ion Mobility Separations with Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry". The final speaker is David Barrow (metaFAB,University of Cardiff) will attempt to bring together the ideas presented in the day's lectures and talk about his views on how innovation in microfabrication can lead to innovation in separation science.

Tickets for this years Desty Memorial Lecture are free, but as Staple Inn Hall main lecture theatre can only hold 160 people tickets will be allocated on a first booked allocation.
