Technical Program

The technical program at EAS has continuously demonstrated an excellence in quality. With over 600 invited and contributed papers, you will find presentations on: pharmaceutical analysis, art conservation, analytical chemistry education, food analysis, chemometrics, sample preparation, process analysis, forensic analysis, validation, and regulatory topics. In the technology arena are topics such as: CE, GC, LC, near-IR, mid-IR, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, microscopy, and sensors. The program emphasizes presentations that are on cutting edge science and relate to real problems faced by scientists in all fields.

Short Courses

EAS Short Courses emphasize practical and economical problem solving topics which will include material that you can take home and immediately apply to your daily work. We have kept many of the 'most requested' courses from last year and have added many new ones which we feel will be timely this year and useful beyond. Various topics will be offered at the 2008 EAS. These courses will be taught by a group of distinguished instructors, who are well recognized in their field. Details about the preliminary list of Short Courses is posted on www.EAS.org.
