BIOMEDICAL
ANALYSIS USING
ICP-MS:
A WORKSHOP ON CONSIDERATIONS FOR ROUTINE ASSAYS AND SPECIATION STUDIES
The
use of ICP-MS for trace element analysis and speciation in biological
samples has grown significantly in recent years, such that many
laboratories now perform routine analysis of hundreds of samples every
week.
This 1/2 day workshop, to be held on the
morning of Sunday 30th January, will present
examples of elemental / speciation analysis in
biological samples using ICP-MS and will discuss the practical
considerations that should be made when performing such analyses. The
workshop is supported by presentations by experienced analysts in the
field and will include a discussion forum to allow different methodologies
and analytical questions to be discussed and debated. Further
information about the seminar can be obtained from Dr.
Simon Nelms, tel: +44 1606 548 100
