Abstract

IMA is a series of conferences that covers all areas of modern trends and applications of Chemical Analysis. Topics to be covered: Current trends on Spectrochemical, Electrochemical, Chromatographic, Microscopic and Thermal analysis methods, Hyphenated techniques, Speciation analysis, Bioanalytics, Trends on sample handling and preparation, Chemical and bio-sensors, Field analysis-Mobile analytical instruments, Laboratory information management systems (LIMS), Miniaturized analytical systems (chips), Robotics and Automation, Quality control-quality assurance on analysis, Commercial developments and markets, Flow and micro-flow methodologies, Immunoassays, Electrophoretic separation techniques, Sampling techniques, and strategies. Applications are expected to include topics of interest in Environmental, Biomedical (Clinical, Ecotoxicological), Pharmaceutical, Material science (Nanomaterials), Archaeometry and Industrial analysis. A special session is going to be attributed to the applications of instrumental analytical methods on food analysis with emphasis to food safety, aroma compounds determination, packaging, novel foods etc.
