The article presents information on new gas chromatography (GC) instruments and accessories exhibited at the 56th annual Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, held from February 27, 2005 to March 4, 2005, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. In contrast to the impressively large PerkinElmer Model 154, this year's new GC developments centred again around miniaturized or micro-sized separation technologies. SLS MicroTechnology GmbH showed a new version of their GCM-5000 gas chromatography module enhanced with a carbon nanotube coated column that they claim will be capable of producing fixed-gas separations similar to molecular sieves or other carbonaceous column packings and coatings. C2V showed pre-launch samples of a micro gas chromatograph based on gas-phase microfluidics.

The first meeting in The Chromatographic Society's diamond anniversary year brought together world-renowned speakers alongside past presidents of the Society, delegates from academia and industry, and scientific instrument and technology companies at the Institute of Engineering and Technology in central London on 22 March 2016. The presentations included discussions on liquid chromatography (LC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and gas chromatography (GC) from both an academic and industrial perspective - providing excellent insight into the state-of-the-art in these techniques for the delegates.
