The Pittsburgh Conference has announced the addition of four special symposia to the technical programme for Pittcon 2009. Two of the symposia will be presented by the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) and two by the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry and Japan Analytical Instruments Manufacturers' Association (JAIMA).
The session titled, "SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Symposium Developments in Atomic Spectroscopy - All in the Family or Sibling Rivalry" will address current topics in the field of atomic spectroscopy. SAS' second session will examine the techniques of near- and mid-infrared Raman spectroscopy and what is to be expected from these techniques over the next 5–10 years.
Both of the JAIMA sessions will discuss nanotechnology. The first will look at the state-of-the-art analytical instruments both with and for nanotechnology. For the second session the application of the research of nanotechnology using the state-of-the-art analytical instruments in electron microscopy and spectroscopy such as multi-elemental STEM tomography and display type analyser for direct observation of 3D atomic and electronic structures will be introduced.

Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Characterizing Cooked Cheese Flavor with Gas Chromatography
September 19th 2024A joint study by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading and Synergy Flavours aimed to identify volatiles that contribute to the aroma of cooked cheese, including the role of fat content in development during cooking.
