EMS 2006 - SFAI
3rd National Meeting on Environmental Mass Spectrometry
11th - 12th April 2006
University of Chester, UK
www.analyticalmethodologycentre.co.uk
Programme
The Scientific Programme of the EMS2006 meeting extends over one and a half days and features environmental and food matrix analysis in four sessions. A fifth session has been organised as a forum/mini workshop. Four 30 minute keynote talks front up the four sessions and are presented by John Upton (Varian), Alan Herod (Imperial College), Chris Wright (Unilever) and Vic Parr (SAI). Two of the twelve 20 minute orals are presented by postgraduate student from Sheffield Hallam and York. Poster and exhibition sessions are also featured. The meeting is organised by the Environmental Mass Spectrometry Special Interests Group of the BMSS in conjunction with the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Chester and sponsored by the parent body, Avanstar (LC-GC Europe), SGE (Europe) and Varian.

Dietary exposure estimates of PFOS and related perfluorochemicals from the 2004 UK Total Diet Study.
This paper represents the results of a study examining the extent to which anthropomorphic environmental contamination has led to contamination of food and dietary intake of perfluorochemicals. An analytical method was developed for the measurement of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) perfluorooctanoic ...

Imaging MALDI (I-MALDI) is becoming a popular application to MALDI-TOFMS. I-MALDI charts the distribution of biomarkers, (be they peptides, proteins or other MALDI ionisable compounds), on the surface of solid samples. The applications are varied including mass spectral comparisons of biomarker distribution ...

The selectivity of the HPLC-MS/MS technique has enabled the determination of a wide range of dyes in complex foods and ingredients, in a single analysis. Considerable suppression of response (“matrix effects”) was observed when analysing such complex extracts so ensuring good quantification and confirmation ...

The demands on laboratories to produce more rapid results are and always will be on the increase. In particular, the area of pesticide residue analysis faces increasing pressure from regulatory authorities and the public to ensure residue levels are below statutory limits. Typically, GCMS analysis ...
