The 2nd National Conference on Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Chinese Chemical Society Held in Hangzhou

The 2nd National Conference on Mass Spectrometric Analysis (CNMS) of Chinese Chemical Societywas held on October 16-19, 2015 in Hangzhou, China. This conference was hosted by the Chinese Chemical Society and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The 2nd NCMS was organized by Mass Spectrometry Division of Chinese Chemical Society and the Department of Chemistry of Zhejiang University. More than 1000 conventioneers including scientists, experts and students attended the conference.

The opening ceremony of the conference was chaired by Prof.Yuanjiang Pan from Zhejiang University. Prof. Jianhong Luo, the vice-president of Zhejiang University, Prof. Hongyuan Chen from Nanjing University, and Prof. Qiankun Zhuang from NSFC gave the opening speeches.

During this symposium, 17 plenary lecturers including 5 academicians, 56 invited speakers, 54 contributed speakers and 26 young scientists presented their latest academic achievements in mass spectrometry, which were related to instrumentation developments, mass spectrometric fundamentals, as well last to he development and application of mass spectrometric technologies. 16 excellent young scientists and 30 excellent posters were awarded. The meeting provided a great opportunity for extensive academic and technical exchanges on research progress in the hope of promoting the development of mass spectrometry in China. In addition, many analytical instrument manufacturers, including Shimadzu, Agilent, Hitachi, Bruker and so on, exhibited their relevant instruments and technical application data.

The well-organized conference was highly appreciated by the attendees and sponsors, which pushes forward mass spectrometric research and applications and promotes the development of Science and Technology in mass spectrometry.
