September 2016
Welcome to the September issue! In our Upfront section we share what hominins had for dinner, the chemistry at the core of our nearest planets – and updates on the analytical science business world. In our cover feature, Fiona Greer explains how analytical scientists can ‘chase the fingerprint’ in the world of biosimilars, while key scientists pay tribute to the legendary gas chromatographer Harold McNair. And we sit down with ‘proteomic protagonist’ Albert Heck, who discusses whether the field of proteomics has lived up to its early promise.

Paying Tribute to “Doc”
September 16, 2016
Harold McNair is the 2016 recipient of the ACS Award in Chromatography. A few of his past students – Kevin Schug, Nick Snow, Chris Palmer, Vince Remcho, and Lee Polite – try to sum up (in too few words) why McNair is such an outstanding analytical chemist and special gentleman. They also share the lifelong lessons they have learned from him – and why the award is long overdue.

Beginner’s Luck and Hyper-Fast GC
September 16, 2016
What are the ingredients of beginner’s luck? Sometimes it’s the right mixture of naivety, a lack of deeper knowledge and a handful of fortunate coincidences. Whatever the recipe, my journey into the world of flow field thermal gradient gas chromatography exemplifies the unexpectedly positive results.

Biosimilar Breakdown
September 16, 2016
The biopharmaceutical industry’s excitement for biosimilars has demanded the very best – and more – from analytical scientists and their tools. Here, Fiona Greer – long-time specialist in biopharmaceutical analysis – describes the need for instrumental orthogonality and the drive towards “fingerprint-like” comparative data. And Pat and Koen Sandra discuss the power of a rising analytical star in the field: two-dimensional liquid chromatography.After finally breaking into the US market, biosimilars have created a real buzz in the industry, but demonstrating similarity can be daunting to say the least. Here, I share the tools of the trade and discuss the role of analytical science.
