Join us for a discussion of the importance of LC separations in downstream 'omics data collection

• LC determines what the MS sees by controlling retention, selectivity, peak shape, matrix coelution, and retention-time reproducibility.
• Metabolomics: HILIC retention is critical for polar metabolites, enabling broad metabolite coverage and efficient dynamic MRM acquisition.
• Lipidomics: LC adds a vital separation dimension for lipid classes, isomers, and isobars, improving identification confidence and quantitation.
• Targeted proteomics: Reproducible peptide separations reduce MRM congestion, improve scheduling, and enhance quantitative robustness.
• Retention time is not just a reporting parameter; it becomes part of analyte identity and supports confident annotation across omics workflows.
• Good chromatography reduces source complexity, minimizing ion suppression, interference, and competition between analytes.
• Throughput depends on separation quality, not simply shorter run times, the best method balances speed, resolution, and robustness.
• Choosing the right retention mechanism, optimizing selectivity, and maintaining chromatographic reproducibility are often more impactful than increasing MS sensitivity alone.
• Sample prep with EMR plate for Metabolomics and Lipidomics
• LC-MS Q&A by our LC-MS Product Specialist

B30 Weill Hall

The workshop will be offered on three separate dates, and participants will attend only one session, as the same content will be presented at each workshop. To maintain a hands-on learning environment and provide opportunities for individualized assistance, each session is limited to 15 participants. Participants will be assigned to a workshop date based on their Fiji/ImageJ experience level and learning interests identified in the interest survey.

Registration is currently full. If you are interested in attending, please email brc_imaging@cornell.edu to be added to the waitlist.
