ITP symposium series, inaugurated in Belgium in 1979, is one of the most recognized international meeting addressing the latest issues and innovations in all areas of electro- and liquid phase-separations techniques. The scientific areas of the symposium cover a wide range of technologies based on electro- and liquid phase-separations: capillary and microchip electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, two-dimensional electrophoresis, HPLC, UPLC, Micro- and Nanoscale HPLC, and their hyphenation with MS. Applications of these techniques in (bio)analysis, (bio)pharmaceuticals, life science research, environmental analysis, food safety and authenticity, space science, forensic, toxicology, and (bio)polymers will be emphasized.
