Developing novel stationary phases and capillary columns – an interview with Joseph Pesek
As part of our Spotlight feature on Chromatographic separation technologies, we talked to Joseph Pesek (Professor Emeritus, San José State University, CA, USA). Joe told us about his research synthesizing and characterizing novel stationary phases for HPLC and developing columns for capillary electrophoresis. Joe also told us which stationary phases he’s excited to see develop and gave us some tips for best practice when developing a new analysis.
When asked about the most common challenges he encounters with chromatography, Joe told us:
“I have found – from dealing with a broad range of chromatographic users – that poor results are very infrequently related to the HPLC column.”
