Analytical Chemistry Conferences during 2014

By -
We list here some Analytical Chemistry conferences that will take place throughout the year.

Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy. Pittcon 2014.
Summary from the official webpage: Pittcon’s target audience is not just “analytical chemists”, but all laboratory scientists – anyone who identifies, quantifies, analyzes or tests the chemical or biological properties of compounds or molecules, or who manages these laboratory scientists.
Having grown beyond its roots in analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, Pittcon has evolved into a conference & expo that now also serves a diverse constituency encompassing life sciences, pharmaceutical discovery and QA, food safety, environmental and bioterrorism markets.
Dates: 2 March 2014 -- 7 March 2014.
Location: Chicago, IL, United Sates

ExTech2014. 16th International Symposium on Advances in Extraction Technologies.
Summary from the official webpage: The ExTech symposium series is the flagship event for sample preparation, analytical extraction and sample clean-up techniques. The series, started in 1999 by University of Waterloo analytical chemistry professor Janusz Pawliszyn, has been held annually around the world and has become a unique and vital medium for the exchange of information and ideas in the expanding field of sample preparation...
Dates: 25 May 2014 -- 28 May 2014.
Location: Chania, Crete, Greece.

Drug Analysis 2014
Summary from the official webpage: This international symposium will be a joint meeting of two distinguished series: the 10th International Symposium on Drug Analysis and the 25th International Symposium on Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis. It follows a series of successful symposia on Drug Analysis organised by the Belgian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) since 1983.
This symposium will cover all aspects of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, including emerging domains, such as metabolomics, proteomics and other omics, process analytical technology, green analysis and the detection of counterfeit drugs.
Dates: 23 June 2014 -- 25 June 2014.
Location: Liège, Belgium.

The 18th International Symposium on Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence.
Dates: 23 June 2014 -- 28 June 2014.
Location: Uppsala, Sweden

5th International Conference and Exhibition on Analytical & Bioanalytical Techniques
Summary from the official webpage: Through the theme: Critical Review on Recent Developments in Analytical & Bioanalytical Techniques, the conference aims in promulgating knowledge and exchange of new ideas amongst the pharmacy professionals, industrialists, and students. This is an excellent opportunity for the delegates from Universities and Institutes to interact with the world class scientists.
The previous four conferences on Analytical and Bioanalytical Techniques which were held at India and USA have gained interest from eminent scientists all over the world in Pharmaceutical R&D. Now it is the time for Analytica Acta-2014 to share novel approaches in all those research areas where Analytical and Bioanalytical techniques are applied.
Dates: 18 August 2014 -- 20 August 2014.
Location: Beijing, China

ISSS 2014 — 20th International Symposium on Separation Sciences.
Summary from the official webpage: The goal of the 20th ISSS symposium will be advancing the knowledge of separation sciences and promoting exchange of new ideas on the academic and the industry level, providing new forum for collaboration and networking. The topics will cover recent advances in the theory, instrumentation and methodology of all types of separation techniques, including new types of particulate and monolithic stationary phases, miniaturized capillary and chip-based fluidic separation media, hyphenated and multi-dimensional separations, method development including chemometric approaches, quality assessment, sample preparation, with emphasis on novel application methods, especially in food, clinical and environmental analysis.
Dates: 30 Aug 2014 -- 02 Sep 2014.
Location: Prague, Czech Republic.

Fabric phase sorptive extraction: a new generation green sample preparation strategy

by Dr. Abuzar Kabir, International Forensic Research Institute, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA Fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE), the most recent member of the sorptive microextraction family, has innovatively incorporated both solid phase microextraction (SPME) and solid phase extraction (SPE) techniques into a single technology platform. FPSE utilizes permeable natural/synthetic fabrics e.g., cotton, polyester, fiber glass supports to chemically bind sol-gel hybrid inorganic-inorganic sorbents. A 5 cm2unit of coated fabric (2.5 cm x 2.0 cm) is typically used as the extraction media which can be inserted directly into the sample container. Extraction of the analytes is generally expedited by using a magnetic stir bar to diffuse the analyts into the sample matrix so that rapid mass transfer from the sample matrix to the extraction medium takes place.Once the mass transfer equilibrium between the FPSE media and

Gold coated magnetic beads for electrochemical detection

By -

This post summarizes an interesting article, recently accepted for publication in Analytical Chemistry, which presents an innovative use of magnetic beads. Researchers from the Osaka Prefecture University at Japan have proposed the synthesis of magnetic microbeads covered with a smooth gold layer that are used for the electrochemical detection of streptavidin (1). The synthesis, which is deeply described in the manuscript, consists of three well defined steps. First of all, the magnetic beads are introduced in a colloidal gold dispersion containing Au-nanoparticles (Au-NPs). Thanks to the opposite zeta potential of both materials (microbeads are negatively charged while Au-NPs present a positive charge), their assembly takes place by electrostatic interactions. However, the Au-NPs are not connected to each other and therefore the electrical resistance of the microbeads is too high. In a second step, the modified microbeads are dispersed in an aqueous medium containing HAuCl 4 as

Rotating Disk Sorptive Extraction

by Prof. Dr. Pablo Richter, Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Chile. The modern trends in analytical chemistry promote efficiency and green technology in sample preparation. In this context, our research team developed a new technique in 2009 that is capable of extracting pollutants from liquid samples on a rotating PTFE disk with one surface coated with an extraction phase [1]. The disk has embedded a miniature magnetic rod, which allows rotation. We have termed this procedure rotating-disk sorptive extraction (RDSE). RDSE is currently available in two configurations. In the classic version (Figure 1), the extraction phase is a polymeric film adhered to one side of the PTFE disk (configuration 1). In this configuration, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), nylon and octadecyl (C18) have been used as the sorptive material for the extraction of low-polarity analytes (Log Kow between 3 and 7) [1-12]. However
