Scope of the conference
The aim of this series of
conferences is bringing together scientists from various fields using
magnetic sector - based ICP-MS, to discuss fundamentals and
applications and to learn from each other’s experience. A relaxed
atmosphere will be created to stimulate the transfer of knowledge and
the exchange of ideas between the participants.
Program overview
The programme will consist of plenary lectures with a tutorial character, contributed research lectures and poster presentations. The main topics to be dealt with during this conference will be:
- Single-collector and multi-collector sector field instrumentation
- Ultra-trace element determination
- Elemental speciation using LC, GC or CE coupled to SF-ICP-MS
- Spatially resolved and bulk analysis using LA coupled to SF-ICP-MS
- Provenance determination studies based on trace element fingerprinting and isotope ratio determination
- Geochemical and cosmochemical isotope ratio work relying on multi-collector ICP-MS
The conference will be followed by a free 2-days software training session organised by one of the major vendors.
