The Society is an international organisation devoted to the promotion and dissemination of knowledge on all aspects of chromatography and related separation techniques. It was first established as the Gas Chromatography Discussion Group in 1956 with A.T. James as its chairman and D.H. Desty as secretary.
2006 was the golden jubilee anniversary year for the Chromatographic Society. Founded as the chromatography discussion group in 1956, the popular society has just reached middle age!
We are pleased to announce a diverse and interesting series of meetings for the coming year, starting with Informatics II, which will be held in Winchester in March. We hope to build on the success and interest generated in Informatics I, which we held there a couple of years ago.
Last year we held our AGM and Spring Meeting at the Natural History Museum in London. This years meeting will be held at the Madejski Stadium in Reading, again in May. Titled, '
Advances in Stationary Phases for Liquid Chromatography' this meeting will run over 1.5 days and feature numerous leading experts in this field and will be supported by a large exhibition.
In September we have 'Advances in Bioseparations' which is to be hosted at GSK in Harlow and will be supporting the International Syposium on Chromatography in Munster, Germany. Finally in November we round off the year with 'Separations in the UK: State of the Nation' which is to be held in Liverpool and will be consist of a mixture of talks and a discussion forum.
