I am writing to personally invite you to learn about CHROMacademy, LCGC's new membership-only e-learning and problem solving resource for the separation science community. We know that without a solid understanding of the fundamentals, your lab projects will fail to deliver or cost more than they should. We know there is little time for on-the-job-training and that limited training and travel budgets stop you sending your people for external training. And we know it's simply not possible for a small team to know everything about every technique. In response to these pressures, your trusted editorial partners at LCGC have collaborated with leading industry trainers Crawford Scientific to develop a continuous education, troubleshooting and problem solving resource that gives your staff instant access to 4,000+ pages of scientifically vetted e-learning modules, interactive lab tools, application notes, peer reviewed articles and industry news. Having actively developed and tested CHROMacademy for the past 9 months, I encourage you to take a look at this innovative new web platform for the chromatography industry. Major corporate, government and academic institutions are already members and are already reporting great results.  Plus, we have the endorsement of our Department Deans, names familiar from LCGC magazine that you have come to trust, including John Hinshaw, Ron Majors, Kevin Schug and Michael Balogh. Beyond an e-learning library that spans HPLC, GC, Sample Prep and Mass Spec, CHROMacademy make its experts and over 2,000 separation scientists available to answer your most pressing questions through its 'Ask The Expert' service and the CHROMmunity professional network area . Go to CHROMacademy today and start solving your chromatography training problems for less than $25 a month. Signed, Mike Tessalone Publisher/ LCGC Magazine
