The Pittcon programme committee has announced the call for papers for Pittcon 2011, which will be held at the Georgia World Congress Centre, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 13–18 March 2011. The committee is requesting abstracts of original, previously unpublished findings in all aspects of instrumental analysis including but not limited to chromatography, molecular and atomic spectroscopy, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, hand-held/portable instruments and lab-on-a-chip technology. The committee also seeks abstracts addressing novel applications of measurement science in areas such as nanotechnology, biomedicine, neurochemistry, genomics, forensics, informatics and quality assurance, as well as pharmaceutical, environmental, polymer and food sciences.
“Our 2011 technical programme will again deliver top quality content in the most relevant fields of chemical analysis,” said 2011 programme chair Mitch Johnson. “The programme will be tightly coordinated with conferee networking and short courses to provide the highest impact for conferees. Pittcon provides attendees with content ranging from the theoretical underpinnings of chemical measurement science through experimental practice, providing a perfect complement to the largest scientific instrument exposition in the world.”
Abstracts must be received by 13 August 2010 and can be submitted electronically via the technical programme link at

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.
