MASS SPECTROMETRY CONFERENCE "Bridging the gap between ion chemistry and biological applications of isotope-ratio mass spectrometry" Topic: 15N/14N analysis by gas chromatography-combustion-reduction-isotope ratio mass spectrometry. When: Saturday, July 18, 1998 Where: Washington University Medical School Eric P. Newman Conference Center St.Louis, MO Purpose: An annual symposium on current advances in mass spectrometry analytical techniques. To couple the techniques developed by analytical chemists/engineers with the analytical needs of human biologists. Intended Audience: Analytical chemists, laboratory technicians, human biologists/physiologists, clinical research investigators, clinicians, geologists, and other allied health professionals.
