AOAC Expert Review Panel Submission Resume Supplement – Philip Koerner

To Whom It May Concern: I am an analytical chemist with over 25 years of experience in HPLC, GC and SPE. I have a BS degree in chemistry from the University of California, Irvine, and MS and PhD degrees in analytical chemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am currently employed by Phenomenex, the leading global provider of HPLC products. I hold the position of Senior Technical Manager and HPLC Product Manager. I have extensive experience in the application of liquid chromatography in the fields of food safety, food quality, clinical toxicology, pharmaceuticals and environmental. I have reviewed the SMPRs for the three categories of SPDS methods. It is very apparent that the majority (if not the entirety) of the methods submitted to AOAC will be based upon some form of liquid chromatography and/or solid phase extraction. I believe that the breadth and depth of my expertise in chromatography would be of significant value in the expert review of submitted methods and will help assure objective, scientifically valid first action decisions. I would be pleased to provide additional biographic information and references upon request. Respectfully submitted, Philip J. Koerner, Jr., Ph.D November 26, 2014
