The Pittsburgh Conference & Exposition on Analytical Chemistry & Applied Spectroscopy (Pittcon 2005) will hold its annual program from Sunday, Feb. 27, through Friday, March 4, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. The meeting brings together scientific and technical professionals to share the latest information about analytical science and instrumentation.
The exposition is open from Monday, Feb. 28, through Thursday, March 3. For details about the meeting, visit the Pittcon 2005 website at http://www.pittcon.org.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM. The Pittcon 2005 technical program will feature workshops, invited symposia, and contributed oral and poster sessions. This year's technical program offers coverage in the techniques of capillary electrophoresis, electrochemistry, elemental analysis and speciation, and the separation sciences, particularly liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry methods. Topics to be covered include homeland security, environmental analysis, neurochemistry, pharmaceutical applications, proteomics, and genomics. Visit http://www.pittcon.org for the most current list of sessions. SHORT COURSES. More than 100 courses will be offered at Pittcon 2005, including 40 courses being offered for the first time. These courses, ranging from half-day to two-day sessions, provide continuing education opportunities led by acknowledged leaders in their fields. They also afford the opportunity for registrants to interact with the presenters. Course offerings include pharmaceuticals and other life sciences, food science, instrumentation, physical and analytical techniques, process control, and quality assurance.<br > <br > AWARDS. There will be a number of award symposia at Pittcon 2005. The Dal Nogare Award, sponsored by the Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley, will be presented to Daniel W. Armstrong, Iowa State University, Ames. The award is given to a scientist for his or her contributions to the field of chromatography.<br > <br > The Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award will be presented to Boris Mizaikoff, Georgia Institute of Technology. This award recognizes outstanding achievements of an individual during the early stages of his or her independent scientific career.
The Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, sponsored by the Society of Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, will be presented to James W. Jorgenson, University of North Carolina. This award recognizes significant contributions by a scientist to analytical chemistry.
The Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, sponsored by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh, will be given to John Rabolt, University of Delaware. The award recognizes an individual who has established a career of accomplishments toward the advancement and understanding of spectroscopy.
The recipient of the 2005 Maurice F. Hasler Award is James D. Winefordner from the University of Florida. The award is presented biennially by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh and is sponsored by the Thermo Electron Corp. It recognizes notable achievement in spectroscopy that has resulted in significant applications of broad utility.
The Bomem-Michelson Award, sponsored by ABB Bomem, honors scientists who have advanced the techniques of vibrational, molecular, Raman, or electronic spectroscopy. Paul W. Bohn, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is this year's recipient.
The Williams-Wright Award, sponsored by the Coblentz Society, is presented annually to an industrial spectroscopist who has made significant contributions to vibrational spectroscopy. This year's award will be presented to Fran Adar of Jobin Yvon.
The Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Conference and friends of Ralph Adams, the late professor from the University of Kansas, recognizes an outstanding scientist who has advanced the field of bioanalytical chemistry through research, innovation, or education. The recipient is Edward S. Yeung, Iowa State University.
The Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science, sponsored by Agilent Technologies and presented by the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry, recognizes and encourages outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer. This year's recipient is André M. Striegel, Florida State University.
The Tomas B. Hirschfeld Award recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of near-infrared spectroscopy. The award will be presented to Ana Garrido-Varo, University of Cordoba, in Spain.
EXPOSITION. The Pittcon 2005 exposition will be open from Monday, Feb. 28, through Thursday, March 3. Exhibit hours will be from 9 AM to 5 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and from 9 AM to 3 PM on Thursday. More than 2,000 exhibitors will showcase their latest analytical laboratory instrumentation, equipment, supplies, and services.
LABORATORY INFORMATICS. Laboratory informatics remains a major focus of Pittcon 2005, although it will not be a conference-within-a-conference as it was in 2003 and 2004. Topics to be covered include staged electronic data deliverables and electronic data management, compliance perspectives of LIMS, laboratory informatics and management, computational approaches to analyzing and manipulating data, and data analysis and manipulation. There will also be two New Product Forum sessions on laboratory and data management and quality and validation.<br > <br > NEW PRODUCT FORUM. The New Product Forum allows exhibitors to highlight new products, techniques, and equipment before the exposition opens. As in the past, the forum will consist of sessions with five 20-minute presentations organized according to specific topics. The sessions are intended to be informal to afford plenty of opportunity for audience involvement and discussion. Although the majority of sessions will be held on Sunday, Feb. 27, some sessions will be held during the week.
