ICIA 2018 – 1st International Conference on Ion Analysis
ICIA 2018 will tie in with the concept of its forerunner (i.e. Conference on Ion Analysis, CIA) that has established as a unique platform for the meeting of scientists from universities, research centers, industry and governmental institutions with companies that produce and distribute products related to ion analysis in its widest sense. In contrast to the format of CIA which was mainly addressed to a German speaking auditorium with participation of international, English speaking, invited lecturers, ICIA 2018 will be a truly international event in any respect.
- Event Type:
- Conference/Seminar
- Date:
- Sep. 9-13, 2018
- Location:
- Berlin , Germany
Welcome
It is my great pleasure and honor to invite you to attend and contribute to the 1st International Conference on Ion Analysis (ICIA 2018) which will be held, September 9-13, 2018 in the exiting metropolis of Berlin, Germany.
According to the motto “ A single method is no method ”, ICIA 2018 will cover all aspects of ion analysis with regard to the variety of methods, instrumental configurations and areas of application. The conference programme will be arranged with invited keynote lectures and special sessions in order to present most recent developments, to review and critically discuss analytical methodologies for ion analysis and to draw attention to practical problems and their solutions.
Scientists applying ion analysis in routine are invited to take the opportunity of presenting in lectures and posters the results of their challenging work and to unveil their – certainly often tiresome - practical experiences made with the various methods used. This will definitely help contributing to the stimulation of further methodological and instrumental developments.
We expect the attendance of many manufacturers of ion analysis instrumentation and supplementary equipment. This will enable participants of ICIA 2018 to meet leading vendors presenting their latest technical innovations, to discuss current problems with application chemists of the respective companies and to observe - in life demonstrations and workshops - real sample analysis.
Young scientists will be particularly welcome at ICIA 2018. Accordingly, a special session is planned devoted solely to young speakers and travel grants will be offered. Details for grant application will be announced soon.
Exhibition
The ICIA as the only (now global) panel on ion analysis is an excellent opportunity to meet leading manufacturers and vendors of instrumentation and supplementary equipment for ion analysis.
The companies will present established as well as new appliances and equipment, demonstrate the performance of their instruments and will gladly discuss technical details or any application problems.
Representatives of the exhibiting companies will be available throughout the whole conference.
Workshops
Workshops are planned by exhibitors of the ICIA 2018. Participation is free of charge for attendees of the conference. Further details will be provided in due time.
Aims and Scope
The intention of the initiators of the 1st International Conference on Ion Analysis (ICIA 2018) remains, as it was in case of the biannual CIA conference series, to provide space for presenting developments and improvements of analytical methods for ion analysis in its widest sense as well as applications to real-world problems.
Invited keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations on diverse topics will outline the current state of ion analysis and mark latest developments and trends.
Especially users of different methods of ion analysis shall get the opportunity to report on their (often also painful and tiring) experiences with the implementation of routine applications. On previous CIA conferences, this has proven to give important impetus and valuable support to problem solving.
Manufacturers of instruments for ion analysis are considered by us the priceless interface between R&D and the users. The vast expert knowledge of manufacturers coupled with the direct proximity to clients and their application problems will be highlighted by oral presentations and poster contributions of the exhibiting companies during ICIA 2018.
The conference programme of ICIA 2018 includes invited keynote lectures, oral as well as poster presentations given by methodical and application-oriented experts on ion analysis from the academia, non-university research institutes, industrial companies, the regulatory sector and small or medium-sized businesses.
The enormous diversity of methodological possibilities of ion analysis and the far-reaching application area will be reflected by presentations on the following subjects:
Methods of ion analysis:
- Ion chromatography
- Capillary electrophoresis
- Flow analysis method (CFA, FIA, SIA, etc.)
- Spectrophotometric methods
- Electroanalytical methods
- Sensors
- Titration
- Cuvette test and at-site/in-field methods
- Coupling techniques (e.g. IC/MS, IC-ICP-MS, CE-MS)
General issues:
- Automation in ion analysis
- Miniaturisation of instrumentation (e.g. chip-based techniques)
- Microanalysis
- Trace ion analysis
- Sample preparation for ion analysis
Fields of application:
- Environmental analysis
- Food analysis and agrochemistry
- Industrial production
- Clinical analysis
- Material analysis
- Research and development
- Process control and continuous monitoring
- Bioanalysis and pharmaceutical analysis
