In this episode, podcast host Dr. Dwight Stoll talks with Dr. Richard Henry, an expert in HPLC column technology who has had a long and productive career in the HPLC column business. They discuss Dr. Henry’s early experiences with analytical chemistry and liquid chromatography working for DuPont and Spectra-Physics, and eventually the launch and success of the company he founded in 1985, Keystone Scientific. He shares his perspectives on the evolution of LC column technology since the 1970s, his current interest in HILIC columns and separations, and the interactions between separation science and the chemistry of the environment. Finally, Dr. Henry shares some advice for young scientists, drawing on years of observation and his own experiences with failure and success.

Ep. 10: From the Ground Floor to HILIC – A Life in the HPLC Column Business

Analytically Speaking, the podcast from LCGC and Spectroscopy magazines, addresses important issues in separation science and analytical spectroscopy. Topics include new analytical techniques, methods, and approaches; the latest trends; advances in instrument and software technology; practical solutions for specific applications; recent papers in the scientific literature and their applicability; challenges and solutions for data analysis and interpretation; analytical chemistry theory and fundamentals (from advanced research to tutorials and troubleshooting); and more. Our regular hosts are Dwight Stoll, PhD, a professor of chemistry at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, and Jerry Workman, PhD, a spectroscopist, noted author, and currently the Senior Technical Editor of Spectroscopy and LCGC. Dwight covers separation science and Jerry addresses spectroscopy related topics.
