Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced that the Chinese American Chromatography Association has honored Xiaoli Wang, Ph.D., with its Young Investigator Award.

Dr. Wang is an Agilent scientist who has been instrumental in extending the company's Poroshell 120 technology into biopharmaceutical columns that enable faster, more accurate analysis of monoclonal antibodies and peptides. He also helped commercialize a new surface modification that enables rugged high pH separations using Poroshell 120, enabling users to save money with longer column lifetimes.

Applicants were judged on the originality and overall quality of their work, its significance to the advancement of separation science, and other supporting factors. To evaluate the impact of the work, the association considered publications, presentations, patents and the applicant's leadership role in his or her research field or place of business.

Dr. Wang was nominated by Ron Majors, a renowned chromatography expert who recently retired from Agilent. "Xiaoli is part of the new generation of chromatography experts, and his many contributions in his young career have been quite remarkable," Majors said.

"Agilent hires and nurtures leaders like Xiaoli as part of our commitment to drive innovative product development and superior solutions for our customers," said Helen Stimson, Agilent senior vice president and general manager of the company's Chemistries and Supplies Division. "Xiaoli's work in research and development leverages insights that boost productivity, sharpen analytical accuracy and improve economics in the lab."

The award will be made at the PITTCON conference March 6-10 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Poroshell 120

Agilent Technologies

Poroshell 120 columns provide rugged, high resolution separations within the pressure range of any mainstream LC system, making the benefits of sub-2 µm performance available with all existing LCs.Poroshell columns can achieve high resolution and high speed separations on current instruments, and higher resolution and speeds on new high-pressure LC and LC/MS systems. Stable to 600 bar, Poroshell 120 are great for fast UHPLC analyses, and can accelerate your older, traditional 5 µm method for 4-5x reduction in analysis time. With a family of ten chemistries, including the recently introduced PFP, and alignment with the ZORBAX family chemistries, method development and transfer is flexible and easy.Features: High efficiency and high resolution, with up to 50% less backpressure than sub-2 μm columns 2 μm frit, for rugged performance with dirty samples Compatible with 400 bar and 600 bar LCs, as well as UHPLC instruments An expanding family of bonded phases to align with the ZORBAX Family, for reliable scalability Excellent selectivity and peak shapes Designed for exceptional reproducibility Explore Poroshell 120 solutions focused applications, from food to pharma
