Recent years have witnessed an exponential increase in the adoption rate of Supercritical Fluid

Chromatography (SFC) and Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) in several areas of industry. The intrinsic low

viscosity and high diffusivity of supercritical CO2 renders SFC a faster, higher efficiency form of

chromatography. SFC readily lends itself as a complementary alternative to reversed phase LC because of its

normal-phase-like separation mechanism. The low viscosity and high diffusivity also play a large role in the

ability to extract compounds from a semi-solid to solid matrices in a selective fashion. The use of

supercritical CO2 in both techniques significantly reduces the usage of organic solvents, making each one a

less expensive, green technology. In this presentation the fundamentals of supercritical fluids and SFC (both

preparative and analytical) as well as an overview of SFE will be illustrated. Several examples of cost

reduction, solvent reduction and overall increased efficiency will be reviewed.

Unknown materials or foreign particulate matter are commonly-encountered nuisances in the chemical/ industrial manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries. These materials can range from commonly encountered fibers which are ubiquitous to the environment to unique materials such as drug/excipient mixtures, thermally degraded materials, complex polymers and metal alloys. Remediation of uch materials requires the use of multi-analytical methods and specialized micro-preparation techniques which can provide unique and often times complimentary elemental and chemical information in the characterization of such materials. For the purpose of this session, common analytical methods which will be discussed including optical and polarized light microscopy, infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy – energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman chemical imaging (RCI). Gateway Analytical is a full-service analytical testing laboratory offers a wide array of standard and advanced testing techniques for applications in pharmaceutical testing, product contamination and failure analysis, materials characterization and criminal forensic investigations. This session will provide an overview of each application area and how a multi-analytical approach is essential to fully characterizing unknown materials or foreign particulate matter.

Whether one is new to fluorescence or has some practical lab experience, this short tutorial will present an

overview of fundamental fluorescence theory to highlight how to best optimize data collection and minimize

unwanted interferences. A review of the processes of absorption, emission, and scattering will lay the

foundation for identifying key design features of the instrumentation and parameters that can be used for

optimization of the fluorescence signal. Scattering and absorption interferences play an important role in

the quality of fluorescence data, so recognizing and minimizing Rayleigh and Raman scattering, inner-

filtering effects, photobleaching, etc. is critical to obtaining good qualitative and quantitative data with

confidence. Practical experimental and instrumental parameter considerations will be discussed in light of

how to minimize common mistakes and unwanted interferences and maximize the fluorescence signal.

This 30 minute demonstration will focus on the use

of the Vernier Mini GC Plus gas chromatograph to

investigate a forensics/CSI scenario. We will show

how the Mini GC Plus measures and analyzes the

components in a mixture of liquids.

In this 30 minute presentation, you will have an

opportunity to collect data wirelessly with Vernier

sensors and the LabQuest 2 data collection

interface. We will use Data Share, a free wi-fi

browser option, to display collected sensor

readings into any smart device. In addition, we will

demonstrate wireless data collection with iPads

and Vernier sensors.

Landmarks, we welcome the MEET-U Truck to CERM

The Friends of Drake Well, Inc.’s Mobile Energy

Education Training Unit (MEET-U) spreads awareness of

energy creation, development and utilization through a

partnership with the Friends of Drake Well and Drake Well

Museum by educating school children and the public on

the historic and modern uses of energy in the hope they

will improve the future of energy consumption.

Since opening in the summer of 2009, over 100,000 people

have visited the educational exhibits in MEET-U in a

number of cities, towns, fairs and other events in

Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. In 2013 over 30,000

people saw MEET-U. Many of those who have seen the

trailer are students.

During the winter of 2011-2012 MEET-U developed and

implemented the MEET-U in the Classroom. This

program travels into local classrooms targeting 4th graders

and meets state and national standards in social studies,

economics, and science. We currently have a menu of

options for the teachers to choose from, so they are able to

pick a lesson that best fits their needs. They are able to

choose from programs based on Social Studies, Science,

and Energy.

WHEN: Thursday, October 30, 2014

10:00 am – 3:00 pm

WHAT: Mobile Energy Museum

WHERE: East Parking Lot of the

Double Tree

“We challenge students to come up with new and

creative ideas for energy independence.”

We challenge the students to come up with new and

creative ideas for energy independence. We stress

the value of education in being able to compete in an

energy driven workforce. It is this generation that

will discover new ways of harnessing energy. While

those who visit the trailer learn about their oil and

gas heritage, they are also encouraged to think about

ways to change the future of energy consumption to

minimize the adverse impacts on the environment.

Where does the Green Tree bus leave people off? The Route 38 stop that is nearest to the hotel drops off at the corner of Green Tree and Mansfield Roads. Pedestrians will walk 0.6 miles down Mansfield before reaching the hotel on the right. How long will my trip from Oakland take using PAT? The Port Authority indicates a commute of one hour to one hour and fifteen minutes. Attendees are encouraged to use the Advanced Route Planner. Can Duquesne University registrants pick up a PAT bus and ride it straight to the DoubleTree Green Tree? The main PAT bus route that services Green Tree is Route 38 and runs on weekdays. Walk about 3 blocks to the corner of 5th Avenue and Washington Place (southwest corner of the Consol Energy Center). There, pick up one of the buses on Routes 65, 67, or 69 and take one of them inbound to Stanwix Street (Opposite 4th Avenue). Catch Route 38 at Stanwix Street (at Forbes Ave). Board the Outbound (Green Tree to Mt. Lebanon Station). The trip should take about 11 minutes. Where can I find all PAT bus schedules? The Port Authority website (www.portauthority.org) has complete schedules. The Route Planner is recommended for CERM 2014. travelers. 71
