Dionex endows chair

Thursday, 13 May, 2010

Dionex Corporation has announced the establishment of a permanent academic endowment at The University of Texas at Arlington that will benefit the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in College of Science.

The endowment will set up The Hamish Small Chair of Ion Analysis to honour Hamish Small, the inventor of suppressed ion chromatography.

Hamish Small developed an ionic suppressor that enabled direct detection of charged species with a conductivity detector. This eventually led to the establishment of the Dionex Corporation, which works in IC instrumentation.

“Hamish Small is one of the giants of modern analytical chemistry,” said Christopher Pohl, Senior Vice President of R&D and Chief Science Officer at Dionex Corporation. “His contributions to analytical chemistry are numerous, including indirect photometric detection, hydrodynamic chromatography, and ion chromatography.”

It is the intention of Dionex Corporation to give a total of US$500,000 to the endowment by 2014.
