Early life and education

Stalcup has described herself as a military brat, and spent her childhood in several different locales. [1] She completed her undergraduate degree in chemistry at the California State University, Sacramento, after training in southern and northern California. [2] As an undergraduate student she worked several different jobs to cover her costs. [1] After working for a couple of years at Versailles, Inc as an analytical chemist, she moved to Georgetown University as a doctoral researcher. Stalcup completed her doctoral research in 1988. During her graduate work, she held a joint position as a fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Stalcup joined the Missouri University of Science and Technology as a postdoctoral fellow. [2] Early in her academic career Stalcup was introduced to chiral separation chemistry by Daniel W. Armstrong [3] and first interacted with capillary electrophoresis columns. [3]

Research and career

In 1990, Stalcup moved to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where she was appointed to the faculty in the Department of Chemistry. In Hawaii, Stalcup worked on carbohydrate-based phases for chiral separations. Here she proposed the use of the chiral additives sulphated-β-cyclodextrin, heparin and quinine in capillary electrophoresis. [4] The carbohydrate-based bonded phases are designed to include chiral recognition elements, and have been intelligently designed for the separation of optical isomers. [5] After six years in Hawaii, Stalcup moved to the University of Cincinnati, where she was made full professor by 2001.[ citation needed ] Whilst in the United States, Stalcup served on the advisory board of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works.[ citation needed ]

In 2012 Stalcup moved to Ireland, where she was made Director of the Irish Separation Science Cluster and Professor of Chemical Sciences at Dublin City University. [2] Stalcup served as a council member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Division. [6]

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) is a chromatography technique used in analytical chemistry. It is a modification of capillary electrophoresis (CE), extending its functionality to neutral analytes, where the samples are separated by differential partitioning between micelles and a surrounding aqueous buffer solution.

Chiral column chromatography is a variant of column chromatography that is employed for the separation of chiral compounds, i.e. enantiomers, in mixtures such as racemates or related compounds. The chiral stationary phase (CSP) is made of a support, usually silica based, on which a chiral reagent or a macromolecule with numerous chiral centers is bonded or immobilized.

Electrochromatography is a chemical separation technique in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology used to resolve and separate mostly large biomolecules such as proteins. It is a combination of size exclusion chromatography and gel electrophoresis. These separation mechanisms operate essentially in superposition along the length of a gel filtration column to which an axial electric field gradient has been added. The molecules are separated by size due to the gel filtration mechanism and by electrophoretic mobility due to the gel electrophoresis mechanism. Additionally there are secondary chromatographic solute retention mechanisms.

He became associate professor in 1959, research professor in 1962, and professor in 1966. Giddings authored or co-authored more than 400 publications and edited 32 books in the field of chemistry. He was executive editor of the journal Separation Science and Technology, and the editor of the series Advances in chromatography.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Capillary electrochromatography</span> Method of separating components of a mixture via electro-osmosis

In chemical analysis, capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a chromatographic technique in which the mobile phase is driven through the chromatographic bed by electro-osmosis. Capillary electrochromatography is a combination of two analytical techniques, high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Capillary electrophoresis aims to separate analytes on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio by passing a high voltage across ends of a capillary tube, which is filled with the analyte. High-performance liquid chromatography separates analytes by passing them, under high pressure, through a column filled with stationary phase. The interactions between the analytes and the stationary phase and mobile phase lead to the separation of the analytes. In capillary electrochromatography capillaries, packed with HPLC stationary phase, are subjected to a high voltage. Separation is achieved by electrophoretic migration of solutes and differential partitioning.

Chiral analysis refers to the quantification of component enantiomers of racemic drug substances or pharmaceutical compounds. Other synonyms commonly used include enantiomer analysis, enantiomeric analysis, and enantioselective analysis. Chiral analysis includes all analytical procedures focused on the characterization of the properties of chiral drugs. Chiral analysis is usually performed with chiral separation methods where the enantiomers are separated on an analytical scale and simultaneously assayed for each enantiomer.
