ISEAC 39 – University of Hamburg

17 Jun 2015

The ISEAC 39 Conference will take place at the University of Hamburg from July 19th – July 22nd 2016.

The central subject of the conference is the innovative use of analytical methods for the investigation of environmentally and food relevant questions.

Topics for discussion:

Sampling
Non-targeted approaches (screening, fingerprinting, profiling, barcoding, omicstechnologies)
Targeted approaches (detection, identification and quantification of organic compounds)
Rapid testing and on-site applications (sensors, biosensors)
Bioinformatics (processing, recycling, sharing, storage)
Risk assessment

‘The Symposium will bring together both established and young researchers in academia, public and industrial laboratories involved in the field of environmental and food analytics and hard ware manufacturers involved in the development and distribution of analytical instrumentation relevant for this interdisciplinary field.’

The meeting will include lectures, poster sessions, an exhibition and will provide plenty of time for the distribution of knowledge on the latest developments in analytical methods for environmental and food analysis.

For more information please contact Prof. Dr. Jose Broekaert or Prof. Dr. Markus Fischer

Gordon F. Kirkbright Bursary Award, 2016

01 Jun 2015

Gordon F. Kirkbright Bursary Award, 2016, now open for nominations

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that enables a promising student/non-tenured young scientist of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning.
The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general. Although the fund is administered by the Association of British Spectroscopists (ABS) Trust, the award is not restricted to spectroscopists.

Applications are invited for the 2016 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary.

For further information contact John Chalmers at, email: vibspecconsult@aol.com

The closing date for entries is 31 December 2015.

Getting closer to secrets on the seabed

21 May 2015

Graphical Abstract

Researchers from Spain have engineered a laser spectrometer to analyse solids underwater that they hope to eventually develop for deep sea research.¹

Stand-off laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (ST-LIBS) is a technique to identify the elemental composition of solids at a distance, enabling safe analysis of explosive, radioactive or toxic compounds.² While this technique is well-developed and widely used in air – Javier Laserna and coworkers at the University of Malaga built a ST-LIBS system able to differentiate between common explosives and contaminants such as hand cream or motor oil³ – there is no current technology to apply it underwater.

A study of underwater stand-off laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for chemical analysis of objects in the deep ocean
F. J. Fortes, S. Guirado, A. Metzinger and J. J. Laserna
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2015, 30, 1050-1056
DOI: 10.1039/C4JA00489B, Paper
