Visit our booth No. 9 this week and poster presentations on Tuesday 18 September!

Every three years, the International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) attracts many scientists from all over the planet. This year the IMSC in its 19th edition takes place in Kyoto, Japan, the first time ever out of Europe which is an excellent opportunity to visit Japan with all its beauty and not less than 17 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites located in Kyoto.

IONICON and SHORELINE, our distribution partner for Japan present innovations to you at our booth No. 9 and in Tuesday’s poster session (event hall):

From conventional Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) to a universal trace gas analyzer

More than one order of magnitude higher sensitivities with Proton-Transfer-Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-TOFMS)

We are looking forward to see you soon!

IONICON innovations are presented at ASMS this week – download our posters here!

If you are visiting this year’s ASMS annual meeting in Vancouver, you will be able to learn about pioneering developments we kept ourselves busy with, the last couple of months.

If you, like myself, don’t have the chance to attend the conference this year, I am sure you are having the same feeling – we are missing a great event in a wonderful city. The only relief  I can offer is posting our scientific contributions here.

Come and join us for the poster presentations on Wednesday or download information about our recent innovative achievements below:

WP32 – Instrumentation: New Concepts
Slots: 698 and 699, Wednesday, Poster Hall:
From conventional Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) to a universal trace gas analyzer

More than one order of magnitude higher sensitivities with Proton-Transfer-Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-TOFMS)

Have a safe trip, enjoy ASMS or, like myself, have a good time in office!

Application case study and article in press: Isocyanates and Polychlorinated Biphenyls real-time detection using PTR-MS

Isocyanates are highly reactive species widely used in industry. They can cause irritation of the eyes, trigger asthma, etc. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely used in electrical equipment like capacitors and transformers in the last century and are still present in the environment today. PCBs are known to cause cancer and to affect the immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems.

Therefore, there is a need for a simple, rapid and reliable analytical method for the detection of traces of isocyanates and of PCBs. IONICON PTR-MS technology seems to be an ideal method for rapid screening for TICs which we demonstrated in a recently published article:

At Pittcon® 2012 we were able to increase attendance at our booth and posters. Now we are looking forward to Pittcon 2013 in Philadelphia!

From March 11 to 15 Orlando, FL was once again hosting Pittcon with its more than 15,000 attendees populating Orlando’s International Drive, Orange County Convention Center and of course the show floor where we had our IONICON booth.

We participated in the Conference with numerous scientific contributions such as posters, but also in networking sessions highlighting the scientific character of Pittcon Conference and Exposition. This year we increased our booth space in order to more conveniently demonstrate PTR-MS to interested attendees (e.g. performing live breath-testing or analysis of ambient air). Moreover a dedicated meeting area was provided for comfortably discussing advantages of our real-time direct injection mass spectrometry systems in specific application areas.

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.

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.
