Advances in GC IV
30th October 2013 (First Announcement)
LGC Ltd, The Heath Business Park, Runcorn, Cheshire

Joint meeting organised by The Chromatographic Society and the North West Region of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

After the success of the 2011 meeting we are pleased to announce another follow up meeting in the series.
GC is still technique of choice for analysing both volatile and semi volatile compounds, but as we move to more difficult matrices, more is being asked of the technique in terms of separation and limits of detection. The meeting sets out to both give an overview of current GC technologies and methodologies, information on newer detection/separation solutions and case studies from all the main user areas.
 
In parallel to the full meeting program will be an Instrument exhibition with representatives from all the major GC Instrument and Consumables Suppliers.

2013 ANACHEM Award
Call for Nominations

The Association of Analytical Chemistry, ANACHEM, is seeking nominations for the 2013 ANACHEM Award. The award honors an outstanding analytical chemist who has made significant contributions to the advancement of analytical chemistry. Consideration will be given not only to the importance of the candidate’s reaserch but to other contributions such as mentoring students, service to the professional community, and service as a scientist to society in general.

The ANACHEM award will be presented at the FACSS: SCIX 2013 meeting in Milwaukee, WI, September 29 – October 4, 2013. The ANACHEM award consists of $1,000 and travel expenses to the conference.
