The 5th hands-on PTR-MS, the IONICON PTR-MS training course, took place this week in Innsbruck, Austria

The anniversary edition of hands-on PTR-MS attracted 36 participants from all over the world and an exciting program awaited the PTR-MS users from 23 to 26 January.

Since the first IONICON PTR-MS training seminar was held in 2003 we were able to attract more and more attendees and provide a very attractive program adapted to the needs of our customers. This year every single participant had the opportunity to pick among a selection of proposed workshops and by this was able to design an individual training schedule.

On Monday everybody was invited to refresh their background knowledge on the principles of PTR-MS in a  lecture covering vacuum technology, ion chemistry and analytical characterization of PTR-QMS and PTR-TOFMS, given by Armin Wisthaler from the university of Innsbruck. At the evening of the same day we invited to a social evening event at a very special location in order to celebrate the 5th edition of hands-on PTR-MS. This was an excellent opportunity for exchanging experiences, connect and to network in a relaxed atmosphere.

Get in touch with PTR-MS! We’re looking forward to meet you soon.

We’re glad to announce that the 5th edition of International PTR-MS Conference and hands-on PTR-MS 2011 receive strong support from the PTR-MS community.

Shortly before the holiday season starts and you hopefully can relax with your family and friends I would like to thank all participants for their registration to the PTR-MS Conference and the IONICON training course 2011!

We’re looking forward to welcome 33 colleagues coming from 13 nations to join us in Innsbruck, Austria at the end of January 2011 for a comprehensive IONICON PTR-MS training course. The Institute of Ion Physics and Applied Physics of the University of Innsbruck is expecting about 120 participants to the PTR-MS Conference that is taking place directly after hands-on PTR-MS 2011 at the university centre in Obergurgl, Austria where all rooms are now fully booked.

In a little more than one month the PTR-MS community will gather at the biennial meeting that is celebrating its 5th edition in 2011 and we’re preparing an interesting program for you…

The very successful PTR-MS conference series and IONICON training course were introduced in 2003 when we saw the demand for an event where the PTR-MS community that is scattered all over the world gets together for a week and exchanges results from the various fields of research PTR-MS is used for.

With this exciting outlook to the first month of 2011, the IONICON team would like to wish you a Merry XMAS and a Happy New Year!
