Call for papers
The EMS2010 meeting is an environmental mass spectrometry special interest group (EMSSIG) series event forming a part of the British Mass Spectrometry Society SIG meetings and is scheduled for 24 March 2010.
The EMS2010 meeting is an environmental mass spectrometry special interest group (EMSSIG) series event forming a part of the British Mass Spectrometry Society SIG meetings and is scheduled for 24 March 2010. The main theme will focus on Recent Advances in the Methodology for Environmental and Food Matrix Analysis.
The meeting will be linked with the Food and Nutrition SIG coordinated by Dr Simon Hird and will also form part of a conference week, 22–26 March 2010, of three meetings organized by Professor Chris Smith, which will also highlight nanotechnology and food as well as food science and technology.
The provisional scientific programme is reaching an advanced stage but there are still several vacancies for oral presentations for both the environmental and food and nutrition sessions. Current topics include MS Techniques for environmental analysis: a view from a commercial analytical laboratory, Allergen detection, quantitation and confirmation in Nuts, Cereals, Milk etc by LC–MS–MS and ,i>Limitations of mass spectrometry for determining the mass range of polydisperse samples (such as coal liquids and petroleum asphaltenes).
For further details e-mail the Chair at [email protected] or visit the website www.analyticalmethodologycentre.co.uk and register as a user to access the EMS2010 forum.
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
