Conferee Networking Sessions
Wednesday, March 5, 2008, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Process Analytical Chemistry: Process Analysis
Facilitator: Thanh Trung, Paprican, Canada . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room 225
In this networking session we will discuss how to successfully build, install and maintain an online process analyzer. We
encourage our conferees to share and discuss examples of lessons learned, challenges identified and solutions that have
been successful. We also encourage our suppliers and vendors to share their experiences.
Chemical Imaging: Instrumental and Analysis
Facilitator: Rohit Bhargava, University of Illinois—Urbana . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room 227
Chemical imaging is a strongly emerging area for materials, biomedical and forensic applications as it combines the
molecular selectivity of spectroscopy with the spatial specificity of imaging. The purpose of this session is to bring together
people working in these disparate areas to link the three pillars of instrumentation, analysis and application.
Automated Discrete Analyzers for Colorimetric Analysis of Water and Industrial Processes
Facilitator: Charles J. Patton, U.S. Geological Survey, National Water Quality Laboratory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room 231
The goal of this 2008 CN Session is to provide a platform from which analytical chemists, water quality analysts, laboratory
managers, water quality regulators and instrument vendors can exchange information and freely discuss benefits and
shortcomings of this emerging technology.
Commercial Devices for Teaching in Instrumental Analytical Chemistry
Facilitator: Vladimir M. Mirsky, University of Regensburg, Germany . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room 232
The requirements for analytical devices for teaching, examples of analytical devices fulfilling these requirements, and the
profitability of development of such devices and suggestions for the promotion of this technology will be discussed.
