Axel Semrau

Jackie obtained his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the National University of Singapore, He has garnered over 10 years of research, training, and facilitation experience. Jackie meets scientists from various industries to share technical knowledge and collect feedback, understanding their problems and helping them find well-suited solutions in GC-related analyses.

Govert studied analytical chemistry in Delft and started his chromatography career at Chrompack (now Agilent) running chromatography training courses. Having gone through Merck (10 years sales on Merck-Hitachi HPLC equipment) and AvansPlus (10 years business development post-bachelor and master training programs), he found his current job via Bruker Daltonics. Now, in Axel Semrau, Govert has a mission: making sample preparation and analysis one.

Thomas studied at the University of Applied Science Steinfurt with a focus on Instrumental Analysis. After his Graduation as Engineer in Analytical Chemistry, he worked for 2 years at the quality control laboratory of the Pharma Labor GmbH in Herdecke (Germany).

Then he changed working field and worked at the chemical and veterinary institute Münsterland Emsche Lippe (CVUA-MEL) in Muenster in the field of consumer products; esp. food contact materials (FCM) and cosmetic products. There he worked in research and development on method development and application creation and was technical manager of the department.

Thomas Funke has experience in chromatography, sample preparation and automation technology.

Since the end of 2017, he is working as a Freelance consultant and provider. In practice, he has a special focus on mineral oil analysis (MOSH, MOAH, POSH, PAO, MORE) and in the field of NIAS (Non Intentionally Added Substances) which is why he can now offer you advice and training. With a team of young scientists, he developed the Software Chrolibri. The software was developed for the evaluation of MOSH/MOAH chromatograms because these poses a number of challenges for users in the analysis of MOSH/MOAH. The software is distributed by the company Axel Semrau GmbH (Germany).

After studying Analytical Chemistry at the University of Bochum, Andreas Bruchmann joined Axel Semrau in 1992. He worked in different departments before becoming Managing Director in 2010. Now he is responsible for the Chromatography business unit, which supplies automated application solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industry worldwide. He was also involved in the development of the CHRONECT MOSH/MOAH Workstation from the beginning of 2010.

May Yen graduated with a Master Degree in Science (Marine Biotechnology) and Bachelor Degree in Science (Industrial Chemistry) from Universiti Malaysia Sabah. She has 15 years of experience in handling and conducting training on analytical instruments such as UV-VIS spectrophotometer, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (LCMS, LCMSMS) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (GCMS, GCMSMS).

Currently, May Yen is the Application Manager for Customer Support Centre, Analytical Instrument Division, in Shimadzu Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

Chee Geng attained his Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) and Doctorate (Biochemistry) from the National University of Singapore (NUS). His wide exposure in the various fields of sciences enables him to communicate effectively with a larger group of scientists from different backgrounds. After graduating from NUS, he joined the industry as an Analytical Chemist, involved in projects that deal with small molecules traces analysis in the complex sample matrix, requiring hands-on experience in various kinds of mass spectrometry (Ion Trap, Q-Trap, timsTOF, Triple Quad). He is also experienced in optimizing and designing high throughput sample preparations process for LC and GC analysis via automation, in order to improve efficiency in routine workflow. Dr CCG loves learning the latest advancement in technology in the market, looking forward to sharing what he knows with the interested target audience.
