Technology Forum
ICP-MS Technology Forum
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is one of the primary techniques for trace elemental analysis. This Technology Forum discusses the effects of carbon in samples and the use of correction equations to account for interferences. Participants in this Forum include Deborah Bradshaw, consultant and Spectroscopy Editorial Advisory Board member; Shane Elliott, ICP-MS Products Global Business Manager for Bruker CAM; and Charles A Schneider, Inorganic Product Planning Manager at PerkinElmer.

Department of Homeland Security Offers Programs for Individuals and Universities to Develop Expertise in Nuclear Forensics
In response to the growing concern in the United States over the threat of nuclear terrorism, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched the National Nuclear Forensic Expertise Development Program (NNFEDP) in 2008. Led by DNDO in close collaboration with the Departments of Energy (DOE) and Defense, the NNFEDP is an interagency effort committed to developing and maintaining a robust academic and technical pipeline to strengthen the nuclear forensics workforce.

FT-NIR Spectroscopy: Combining Performance, Precision, and Simplicity
Thursday, January 19, 2012
11:00 AM EST
This webcast will introduce a new FT-NIR instrument, with a low cost of ownership, that we believe can transform the way you currently analyze samples. We will present applications from the life sciences, chemical, polymer, feed, and food industries to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of the analysis in comparison with the primary methods.
