>--------------------------------
>If you have present or future plans to use Liquid Chromatography/Mass
>Spectrometry (LC/MS) you will want to sign up for the American Chemical
>Society short course "LC/MS Fundamentals and Applications". The course is
>being offered in your choice of two sessions and locations in October:
>
>Chicago, Illinois: Tuesday-Wednesday, October 19-20
>
>Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Thursday-Friday, October 28-29
>(in conjunction with the WORLDPHARM99 conference)
>
>The course is designed for both chromatographers who are new to MS and for
>mass spectrometrists who are want to learn about LC interfacing. We
>discuss the fundamental of both LC and MS separately and then tie these
>discussions together with an in-depth look at principles and applications
>of Particle Beam, Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization, and
>Electrospray interfaces. Particular attention is paid to understanding how
>the components of the LC mobile phase affect the MS results. Specific
>applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, toxicology, environmental
>and other areas are presented. The 500 page course manual is a valuable
>reference in itself and also contains an extensive bibliography and
>glossary of terms.
>
>The course is taught by O. David Sparkman and Frederick E. Klink. Both are
>highly rated ACS short course instructors and bring considerable experience
>in mass spectrometry and chromatography to the course.
>
>For more information and/or to register for "LC/MS: Fundamentals and
>Applications" visit the ACS Web site at:
>
> >http://www.acs.org/education/professional/sccr08.html<
>
>or call the ACS at 1-800-227-5558, ext. 4508. Tuition for ACS members is
>$845 and $945 for non-members.
