Applications are invited for the 2013 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary, a prestigious annual award that enables a promising student/non-tenured young scientist of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning.

Smaller instrumentation was very much a key trend at Pittcon 2012. This was seen throughout the range of analytical techniques, with compact mass spectrometers, NMRs, ESRs, UV/vis, mid-IR as well as NIR spectrometers. Indeed, the first two instruments featured claim to be the world’s smallest NIR and FT-NIR, respectively.

A new NIR reflectance spectroscopy calibration is providing barley growers and their customers with a quick and accurate analysis of the digestible energy content of barley. Researchers at the University of Alberta, in collaboration with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, have developed a NIR calibration to analyse the digestible energy in barley.

Join colleagues for two days of intensive hands-on interactive number-crunching in a relaxing picturesque remote location of Latvia! International analysis experts will present general research topics, followed by individual and group activities with real hyperspectral data. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

This IASIM meeting will include two full days of scientific sessions covering all aspects of spectral imaging. Oral and poster presentations are invited on any facet of spectral imaging research. A partial list of possible topics includes:
