2020WCPS — 2020 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry

The 2020 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, 21st in a series of biennial meetings sponsored by the ICP Information Newsletter, features developments in plasma spectrochemical analysis by inductively coupled plasma (ICP), dc plasma (DCP), microwave plasma (MIP), glow discharge (GDL, HCL), and laser sources (LA, LIBS). The meeting will be held Monday, January 13 through Saturday, January 18, 2020, in Tucson, Arizona, (www.visitTucson.org) at the El Conquistador Tucson Resort (www.hiltonelconquistador.com). Professional development short courses at introductory and advanced levels and manufacturers' seminars will be offered Friday through Monday, January 10 - 13. Spectroscopic instrumentation and accessories will be shown during a three-day exhibition from January 14 to 16, and workshops on New Plasma Instrumentation, Clinical ICP-MS, Isotope Analysis, Elemental Imaging and Mass Cytometry, and Elemental Speciation methodology will be presented Tuesday through Friday afternoons.
