Meetings
Ι along the Ohio River
The 22nd conference of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) will be held Oct. 15-20 at Cincinnati's Sabin Convention Center. Approximately 1200 presentations in all areas of analytical chemistry are sched uled. The meeting will feature technical sessions on the fundamental aspects of ion trap MS, biological MS, chromatography/MS, atomic spectrometry, inorganic MS, speciation in elemental analysis, di rect solids analysis, new challenges in ICPMS, electrothermal vaporization, Ra man spectrometry, Raman microspectroscopy, molecular spectrometry, and materi als characterization. The meeting will also feature an exhibit of new instrumentation and laboratory products, workshops, short courses, and an employment bureau. A highlight of the program will be the presentation of the Anachem Award to George Stafford of Finnigan Corporation. Curtis Cleven of Purdue University, Jer emy Shaver of Duke University, and Rob ert Willicut of Louisiana State University will receive the Tomas Hirschfeld Stu dent Awards. Hotel rooms are available at the Regal Hotel, which is also the headquarters for the meeting (800-876-2100, 513-352-2100; fax 513-352-2148). To register for the meet ing, FACSS workshops, short courses, and special events, or for further informa tion about the meeting, contact the FACSS National Office, 201B Broadway St., Frederick, MD 21701-6501 (301-8464797; fax 301-694-6860). 550 A
