FACSS What is FACSS? FACSS is the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies organized to sponsor annual conferences in the field of analytical chemistry. FACSS is a nonprofit organization governed by a board with representatives fiom six member organizations - the American Chemical Society the Analytical Division (ACS); the Analysis Division of the Instrument Society of America (ISA); the Association of Analytical Chemists (ANACHEM); the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS); the Coblentz Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). FACSS conferences rely on a successfil combination of invited and contributed papers workshops and short courses and technical exhibits. The record of achievement is due to FACSS's 20 years of conference experience and to the contributions of scientists fiom the U.S.and abroad. Attendance at the annual meeting includes approximately 1,500 participants who can attend workshops and short courses given by experts in the various areas of analytical chemistry; visit the extensive exhibits of the most up-to-date analytical equipment and materials; select fiom approximately 1,000 papers and poster sessions that are presented throughout the week in parallel sessions; and enjoy sightseeing excursions. FACSS conferences are often called "just the right size," because they are large enough to cover the full range of analytical sciences and small enough to allow participants to talk with individual vendors visit with colleagues and just run into people they want to talk to. FACSS program sessions are recognized as being successfil because they are presented by international leaders in the scientific community fiom academia industry and government covering the wide range of analytical sciences atomic spectroscopy bioanalysis clinical chemistry chemometrics gas and liquid chromatography electrochemistry environmental analysis infiared spectroscopy lasers mass spectrometry nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry process analysis Raman spectroscopy x-ray spectroscopy and surface analysis.Who should attend? Any individual working in the field of analytical chemistry as a researcher analyst or technician will benefit. In fact many people in the field regard FACSS as the one meeting a year that they can't afford to miss. Where is FACSS held? FACSS conferences are held in cities that also offer other attractions for participants.Meetings have been held in Philadelphia Cleveland Chicago and elsewhere. The 1994 FACSS Conference will be held 2-7 Oct. in St. Louis.

This year in addition to sessions on the core topics of atomic and molecular spectrometry chromatography and electroanalysis the meeting will also feature sessions devoted to nanoscale analyses biosensors for the 2 1 st century materials characterization chemical analysis and neuroscience challenges to environmental analysis and issues facing the next generation of analytical scientists. Contributed original research papers are solicited in all areas of analflcal chemistry.Please complete the title submission form and return it by March 21 1994. Submitted papers will either be 20-minute talks or be presented in poster sessions. Upon acceptance of your submission final abstract materials and instructions will be sent to you May 20 1994. Listing of your presentation in the Final Program is contingent upon receipt of your 250-word final abstract via disk submission by July 1,1994. Awards Symposia Several awards symposia are arranged each year and include the Anachem Award and Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) Awards such as the Lester Strock and Lippincott Awards. This conference also serves as the forum for the presentation of other SAS Awards and FACSS Student Awards. Tomas Hirschfeld Student Awards Nominations are requested for the Tomas Hirschfeld Student Awards which will be presented at the conference for the most outstanding papers submitted by graduate students. The student nominees will give their papers at the conference.To be considered for these awards students must submit the titles of their papers two letters of nomination any reprints/ preprints and a 250-word abstract to the National Office by March 21 1994. As many as three students may be selected as awardees and their travel expenses will be arranged and paid for by FACSS. For further information concerning these student awards contact the FACSS National Office. Instrument Exhibit The instrument exhibit is one of the more useful and exciting components of the conference and is designed to complement the scientific program.The exhibition area can accommodate 125 booths and will serve as the primary gathering place for many of the social events associated with the conference. Workshops Short Courses and Employment Bureau Workshops and short courses conducted by leading scientists will be offered in conjunction with this conference. Typical topics include ICP-MS GC-MS LC-MS Sample Preparation Statistics Lasers in Analflcal Chemistry and Chemometrics. An Employment Bureau will offer both local and national job listings. In addition workshops on resume preparation and career planning will be available to assist professionals seeking employment.1994 FACSS Conference Title Submission Form Please type or print clearly Title Deadline March 21,1994 (Acceptance of submissions after this date cannot be guaranteed) Topic Code(s) +Title (maximum of 3 fiom Topic Code List below) Authors (underline or circle presenting author) Corresponding Author Information First Name Middle Initial Last Name Company/University Address City State Zip/Postal Code country Phone Fax Phone No.Preferred format* Talk Poster Either 0 * Actual format may be determined by space availability and format of similar talks in your topical area. +Specific references to vendor products in the title of papers will not be permitted. ~ ~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ A.
