TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR LC COLUMNS Temperature control in liquid chromatography has generally been neglected. Improved resolution, effi ciency, and precision often result from operation of LC columns at controlled tem peratures above ambient.
Karmen and Lipsky Win Tswett Chromatography Medals The 1982 M. S. Tswett Chromatog raphy Medals were presented to Ar thur Karmen of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Seymour Lipsky of the Yale University School of Medicine at the 17th International Symposium on Advances in Chroma tography, held April 5-8 in Las Vegas, Nev. Both recipients were recognized for their contributions to the biomedi cal sciences.
that can be "tuned" to be selective for certain heteroatoms. His current re search is focused on methods and in strumentation development for the microanalysis of enzymes and drugs in serum by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and centrifugal anal ysis.

Karmen
Arthur Karmen received his AB and MD degrees from New York Universi ty in 1950 and 1954, respectively. He joined the staff of the National Heart Institute after completing his intern ship and residency in medicine, and later moved to the Division of Nuclear Medicine at Johns Hopkins Universi ty. Since 1968, he has been a clinical pathologist and director of laborato ries, first at New York University Medical Center and then at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he is presently professor and chairman of the department of laboratory medi cine. While in medical school, Karmen developed methods for the measure ment of serum transaminases and de hydrogenases, which play key roles in the diagnosis of heart and liver dis eases. He has made significant contri butions to the development of chro matographic methods for microanaly sis, including development of ioniza tion detectors, detectors for radioiso topes, detection methods for liquid chromatography using gas chromatog raphy detectors, and methods for the study of lipid metabolism. In the field of gas chromatography, he is known for the development of thermionic de tectors, including a family of detectors

Lipsky
Seymour R. Lipsky received his BS degree in 1944 from University Heights College and his medical de gree in 1949 from the State University of New York's College of Medicine. Following his residency training at the University of California, he assumed a postdoctoral position in the depart ment of medicine at the Yale Univer sity School of Medicine. Shortly there after, he was appointed to the faculty of the medical school where he is cur rently professor of physical sciences and director of the section of physical sciences. Lipsky is the author or coauthor of over 90 papers in the areas of lipid chemistry, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrome try. He was a pioneer in the applica tion of gas chromatography to the analysis of fatty acids and has made significant contributions to the devel opment of instrumentation and meth ods for gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and liquid chromatogra phy. Lipsky's present interests involve the application of advanced chromato graphic and spectrometric techniques to certain aspects of chemical carcino genesis.
