Euroanalysis 2013
The 17th European Conference on Analytical Chemistry: Euroanalysis will take place from 25—29 August 2013 at the Warsaw University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland.
The Warsaw University of Technology — the oldest technical university in Poland — was founded in 1826 and is conveniently located in central Warsaw, well served by both road links and public transport.
Euroanalysis aims to cover a broad spectrum of advances and improvements in analytical techniques in a diverse range of applications, including food, medicine, environmental, pharmaceutical and cultural heritage. A selection of the main topics to be discussed include: bioanalytical and electroanalytical chemistry; sample preparation and separation techniques; spectroanalytical techniques; micro- and nanoanalytics; biosensors and chemosensors; hyphenated techniques; analytical instrumentation development; and modern tools in teaching analytical chemistry.
Euroanalysis allows the dissemination of knowledge concerning modern analytical approaches and important techniques used in analytical control, as well as solving the challenging problems in life science applications. including genomics, proteomics and speciation analysis. The congress aims to create new links between scientists from different countries with different interests and allow young scientists to find new ideas and opportunities and meet prominent scientists from expert laboratories.
A number of guest speakers have been invited to give plenary lectures, including: Damia Barcelo, Chemical and Environmental Research Institute of Barcelona (CSIC) (Spain); Adam Hulanicki, Warsaw University (Poland); Roman Kaliszan, Medical University of Gdansk (Poland); Thomas Laurell, Medical and Chemical Microsensors, Lund University (Sweden); Mikhail Proskurnin, Moscow State University (Russia); Otto Wolfbeis, University of Regensburg, Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Chemo- and Biosensors, (Germany); and Juergen Popp — 2013 Robert Kellner Lecture awardee. Plenary sessions will be held in the Great Hall of the main building of the Warsaw University of Technology.
Presentations submitted as keynote lectures will be evaluated by external reviewers, and the decision of whether accepted oral presentations are nominated as keynote lectures will be decided by the scientific committee.
A key feature of the conference will be the award of the Polish Chemical Society Prize to an outstanding oral presentation. This will be awarded to an author who demonstrates excellence in the presentation of scientific achievements in the field of separation techniques. There are also three prizes (vouchers for Springer books) for the best poster presentations.
The organizers of Euroanalysis will sponsor several scholarships to attend the conference. Applicants must be Ph.D. candidates or academic post-docs, with a preference given to candidates studying at institutions in Europe.
Important deadlines include 15 May 2013 (abstract submission), 15 June 2013 (notification of abstract acceptance) and 15 July 2013 (early bird registration fee).

Exploring Metabolite Alteration from Age-Related Macular Degeneration with UHPLC-MS/MS
February 19th 2025Exploring the alterations in metabolites of wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), metabolomic analysis was performed on the aqueous humor of 30 patients with wAMD receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatments and 20 controls, via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS).
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Direct Analysis of Class 2 Residual Solvents Using Molecular Rotational Resonance Spectroscopy
February 19th 2025Molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy operates in the microwave region, detecting transitions between pure rotational energy levels. Combined with adiabatic cooling, MRR produces highly selective spectra unique to each molecule’s atomic structure. Even slight changes in atomic position or mass result in distinct spectral differences, allowing MRR to directly analyze complex mixtures, including isomers, without chromatographic separation. This article presents a continuous headspace-MRR method for analyzing Class 2 residual solvents, including low-volatility solvents from Class 2 Mixture C. By evaluating solvents with diverse boiling points, the study demonstrates that MRR meets ICH and USP standards for most Class 2 and Class 3 solvents and half of Class 1 solvents.
