The 2011 Eastern Analytical Symposium Program
Invited Speaker Abstract Submission
Mariann Neverovitch
2011 Program Chair
The year 2011 has been designated the International Year of Chemistry. It also marks a milestone for the Eastern Analytical Symposium as this year’s meeting is the 50th in a succession that traces back to the first EAS in 1959.
We are once again happy to offer a superb technical program, one that celebrates innovation in analysis. The program represents the diversity of analysis, from nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance studies of biological systems to multivariate spectroscopy, fast separations, hyphenated techniques, analysis of precious metals, characterization of suspensions and parenteral drugs, cleaning validation, forensic analysis, environmental analysis, and analysis in cultural heritage conservation, and more.
Two special aspects of the Symposium this year involve celebrating analysis. The first is our joining with chemists across the world in celebration of the International Year of Chemistry. Analysis is integral to all of chemistry, and to many other endeavors. We are also delighted to be celebrating the 50th Eastern Analytical Symposium in 2011 - a milestone for EAS. In keeping with the theme of this year’s Symposium, we present innovation in analysis, whether in the oral presentations, the poster presentations, the special displays, or the exposition of analytical products.
We invite you to contribute an oral paper or a poster presentation this year. Solving problems with instrumentation and human ingenuity characterize all of the presentations at EAS. In addition to the typically strong contributed papers at EAS, we have planned a number of invited sessions on topics such as bioanalysis, capillary electrophoresis, chemometrics, chromatography, conservation science, environmental analysis, forensics, industrial hygiene, laboratory automation, mass spectrometry, microchemistry, microscopy, pharmaceutical analysis, PAT, sample preparation, science education, sensors, spectroscopy and surface science. Come see the innovation of analysts in these areas. Better still, come tell others about the innovations in your laboratory.
Of course, EAS is much more. The short courses are a great way to learn the secret techniques that lead to innovation. The courses are taught by masters of the craft. The program and the short course offerings provide complementary ways of learning about solving complex problems. Finally, I mention the promise of helping you innovate in the Exposition’s display of current and future technology. As homage to the early years of Eastern Analytical Symposia, we also present a display of vintage instruments that will surely give anyone who peruses it a sense of how innovation has brought the fields of analysis to a point of sophistication that would not have been thought possible in1959. On behalf of Eastern Analytical Symposium I invite you to join us November 14-17, 2011 as we celebrate innovation in analysis with contributions to the technical program.
