Janusz Pawliszyn
Professor; Canada Research Chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Highlight: “Inventions which were accepted by the scientific community: Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), Capillary Isoelectric Focusing with Column Imaging Detection (CIEF/WCID) and Needle Trap (NT).”Main motivation: “My group is actively pursuing solvent-free, “green” approaches that can integrate both sampling and sample preparation steps. This effort will lead to high throughput laboratory determination, as well as convenient on-site and in-vivo analysis.”
Future aspiration: “The long-term objective of our efforts is to move analytical chemistry ‘on-site’ – where the sample is located – to facilitate low cost, rapid and accurate measurement and monitoring.”
