CCS/C8 Not just a new Ce column packing but a new/c/nof of Ce column packing for reversed-phase HPLC. High efficiency, high resolving power, excellent reproducibility; stable and with long column life — from a wholly new reaction technology, CCS. Finally, a Ce packing that does what a Ce packing should do. If you've been trying to separate higher polarity compounds than Ci8 columns can handle, and finding that your Ce column isn't much help — peace, the answer is at hand: Partisil-10 CCS/Ce. A unique non-polymeric packing with excellent mass transfer characteristics, superb performance in highly aqueous solvents, designed for superior resolution of compounds of moderate to higher polarity — most of the R-P separable compounds. Analytical columns, 9.4 mm and 20 mm preparative columns, and loose media. Partisil-10 CCS/Ce: superior performance from unique reaction technology. Fully silanized.

Gianni Lombardi Wins Du Pont Award T h e 1980 Du P o n t Award went to Gianni Lombardi, geologist and assist a n t professor at the Institute of
Petrography of the University of Rome, Italy. Established three years ago to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of thermal analysis, the award was presented to Lombardi at the Sixth International Confederation for T h e r m a l Analysis Conference in Bayreuth, Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), on July 10 of this year. T h e award, which includes an honorarium of $1000, was established by the Analytical Instruments Division of Du Pont's Photo Products Department.
