Restek at the 32nd International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography
We hope you enjoyed the show and found the presentations exciting and worthwhile. Restek chromatographers presented a number of talks and posters. Click on the links below to view our presentations. If you have questions, or if you would like help optimizing your separations, please contact Technical Support at support@restek.com, or your local Restek representative.

Congratulations to our Contest Winners!
Many visitors come to the Restek booth at Riva to guess the number of theoretical plates in an Rxi®-5Sil MS GC column (20m x 0.18mm) and a 1.9 µm, Pinnacle™-DB column (5cm x 2.1mm). Our winners are:

• Dr. Phillip Marriot, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
• Dr. Pavel Karasek, Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic

Congratulations to both scientists!
