Join LECO at the 44th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography and the 21st GC×GC Symposium in Riva del Garda, Italy. As a Platinum Sponsor, LECO is proud to support one of the leading international meetings in separation science and to be part of a program focused on comprehensive separation technologies, capillary GC, MS-coupled workflows, data analytics, miniaturized sample preparation, and sustainable laboratory approaches.
Why Meet LECO at Riva?
Riva Conference brings together the global chromatography community to exchange ideas, discuss real analytical challenges, and explore the latest developments in separation science. Visit LECO to talk with our team about modern GC×GC workflows, challenging sample matrices, confident unknown characterization, and practical approaches that support both advanced research and routine operation.
See LECO Live at the Booth
Visit the LECO booth to see a live Pegasus BTX with Paradigm Shift running on Hydrogen and discuss how our GC×GC capabilities can support your laboratory. We will be showcasing real instrument capability onsite and speaking with attendees about sample suitability, workflow challenges, and analytical goals.

Assistant Professor, William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, United States
“Turning Complexity into Clarity for Forensic and Food Samples Using GC×GC-TOFMS”
Prof. Flavio Antonio Franchina
Associate Professor, University of Ferrara, Italy
“Profiling the Specialized Metabolites in Cannabis Driving the Entourage Effect”
The session will highlight recent LECO developments and demonstrate how GC×GC-TOFMS workflows are being applied to complex analytical challenges across forensic, food, and metabolomics applications.
