“When we were working with the monolith products, Aleš [Štrancar] made sure to come in person to ensure that everything was working for us and to address any technical issues. Knowing the journey he undertook just to see us in person and make sure everything was working was very impressive. Hearing him speak so highly of his team and the kind of work they are doing made me want to come and see it in person. It was really special to know that at this conference, I was able to visit the site, work alongside the team, and ask them questions in real time. It was a very unique experience.”

“I was invited by Aleš [Štrancar] to be here, and it’s my first time. It’s a wonderful experience. I actually learned a lot and met many people who are very relevant to our research. Mostly, you know, looking at the know-how available here and the people, I think that human capital together with equipment is always a winning combination.”

“I’ve been working with BIA Separations for the past couple of years now. I’m in the analytical team at MeiraGTx and we’ve been working on the AAV empty/full anion exchange method using the monolith columns, for which we’ve been in a lot of contact with the BIA Separations team and so they invited me to the MSS conference. I’ve first attended MSS 2 years ago in 2022 and I thought it was a great success, really helpful with all my work that I’ve been doing on anion exchange. It’s great that I can speak to so many experts on similar issues and developments that we’ve been having and so I attended again this year and again, I think it’s been a great success and it’s been good to connect with people.”

“This is the first MSS conference I’ve attended. I’ve heard a lot about MSS and I’m really pleased and inspired by what I have seen over the last couple of days. There are a lot of new technological and analytical approaches, beyond my expectations.”
– Manfred Reiter, Managing director, Nuvonis
“I would like to say that the MSS conference absolutely exceeded my expectations. The lectures and workshops were very insightful and inspiring, and they had a very attractive format. The level of expertise and knowledge of the speakers was excellent, and I highly appreciate their willingness and positive attitudes in explaining concepts. What else? I’ve learned a great deal of practical knowledge about monolith columns, and I just can’t wait to bring what I’ve learned to my company and start optimizing our chromatography methods and analytics with CIM QA and CIMac columns. So, it was an outstanding educational experience, a mind-opener, and last but not least, a big thank you to BIA Separations for the wonderful organization and for creating such a terrific atmosphere for the scientific community to network. I’m very happy to attend the next round of the conference.”

“I was invited to this conference by Rok Sekirnik, whom I met at other conferences. He told me good things about it, but I didn’t know what to expect beforehand. I saw that it was in a nice coastal location in Portorož in Slovenia, and then I said yeah, I will come. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the content here. There were very nice talks, and lots of interesting data was shared. I also learned new things, and it was very nice meeting people working in the field. Overall, it was a great experience.”
