We support young researchers at two GRCs in 2012

The Gordon Research Conferences provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences, and their related technologies.

Two GRCs closely related to our own scientific research and PTR-MS are now supported by IONICON in order to give young researchers the opportunity to present their work to the scientific community.

These days the GRC for Plant Volatiles takes place in Ventura, CA, January 29 – February 3, 2012 and has as topics: Ecology, Biosynthesis, Regulation and Animal Perception of Floral and Vegetative Volatiles, Plus their Roles in Human Flavor and Agriculture.

Pittcon^® is less than two months away and we’re in the middle of our preparations for the most important laboratory science US show. Looking at the success we had last year in Atlanta at Pittcon, we decided to double our exhibit space and this year we will present you more innovations than ever in a larger booth.

Be sure to visit us at booth # 3703 where you can get in touch with our experts and experience the IONICON PTR-QMS 300, N.A.S.E., the new IONIMED BET sampler and much more as individual live demonstrations. We also have scientific contributions such as posters and talks in special sessions.

You can now find more detailed information about our Pittcon program on our new dedicated event Website: schedule and appointment with us, visit our poster presentations, talks and our booth. Bookmark the site and enjoy exclusive downloads after the show such as reprints of our scientific poster presentations and other useful material.

IONICON science manager, Dr. Philipp Sulzer will co-chair the session A3 Detection of hazardous Material and give a lecture.

Terrorism, organized crime and sabotage, but also natural disasters and technological accidents can cause serious damage and disruption with long-lasting consequences for economies and the quality of life.

The 6th Future Security, Security Research Conference will take place 5. -7. September 2011 in Berlin, Germany and has the aim to bring together the decision makers in politics, industry and finance with scientists working on leading edge and innovative concepts, sensors or systems for civil security.

Philipp Sulzer will chair the session Detection of Hazardous Material on Tuesday September 6 from 9:00 to 10:20 and give a lecture with the title: Detection and Identification of illicit and Hazardous Substances with Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS).

Meet us at the ASMS conference June 5-9, booth # 138 and see what’s new at IONICON

The 59th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics will take place June 5 – 9, 2011 in Denver, CO.

The American Society for Mass Spectrometry expects more than 6,500 scientists to attend their annual conference and we’re again part of this major mass spectrometry event.

This is going to be a hot PTR-MS summer with product launches and lots of new developments at IONICON. Usually readers of our blog will be first to know but this is going to be an exception… I suggest you come by our booth, have a chat with me and I promise to give you some news and updates before I tell them to anybody else…

Visit us at booth # 138 and have a look at our posters:

Scientific Poster: Recent developments in Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry leading to new fields of application (e.g. illicit and designer drugs detection)
Date: Thursday, June 9th , 2011 No: ThP03 – Instrumentation: New Concepts, poster number: 049, Thursday, Poster Hall

Corporate Poster: Overview and introduction to PTR-MS, its applications and our products.

See you in Denver!

Conference and events schedule – UPDATE

• 27.-30. September 2011: 13th Weurman Flavour Research Symposium
• 19.-21. October 2011: 2nd MS Food Day

This is only a small selection of conferences we are already preparing for but watch out for more updates coming up at our Conference & Events Schedule page. Stop by our booth and experience real-time ultra-sensitive trace gas analysis.

Thank you very much for visiting our booth at Pittcon!

It was a great show for us and we would like to invite you to virtually tour our booth once more, having access to valuable downloads such as our scientific posters and product information…

Pittcon® is the world’s largest annual conference and exposition for laboratory science. Pittcon 2011 will offer the latest technology and instrumentation from more than 950 exhibitors, a diverse Technical Program of over 2,200 abstracts to technical presentations, over 100 Short Courses to enhance your educational experience, and networking sessions that provide the chance to exchange innovative ideas with scientists from around the world.

The book of abstracts of the 5th International PTR-MS Conference is now available as a free download

The biennial PTR-MS Conference hosted by the university of Innsbruck in January 2011 attracted more than 100 scientists and PTR-MS users from all over the world to present their latest scientific results and emerging PTR-MS applications.

The topics of this conference were PTR-MS in

• biotechnology and medicine,
• environmental science,
• instruments & technology and future trends
• food science
• detection and monitoring for safety, security and industry.

The book “Contributions to the 5th International Conference on Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry and its Applications” includes abstracts of all presentations and comes with more than 250 pages of new insights, results and trends from the PTR-MS community.

Learn what PTR-MS can do for you as a very versatile ultra-sensitive real-time solution for high-resolution VOC monitoring and download a copy of the book from our website!
