We hope everyone who joined us in Boston enjoyed our day of discovery! We shared the latest advances in ICP-MS and IRMS instrumentation and their applications in research and industry. And our guest speaker, Cajetan Neubauer from the University of Colorado, Boulder, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, discussed the direct isotope ratio analysis of intact molecules with a discussion on Orbitrap IRMS.

9:50 a.m. | Welcome |
10:00 a.m. | Which ICP-MS is right for me? Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a range of technologies for ICP-MS featuring Quadrupole and High Resolution Sector Field mass analyzers. This talk will focus on how each of these technologies function at a high level, and how each technology benefits particular applications. Speaker: Dr. Dhinesh Asogan, Thermo Fisher Scientific |
10:45 a.m. | Illuminating Laser Ablation ICP-MS Laser Ablation is a powerful technique for direct sampling of solid materials, which can be of great benefit when you need to either preserve spatial information or do not wish to use aggressive chemicals for digestion. Here, we will discuss laser ablation technology in general and several applications that benefit from this form of sample introduction. Speaker: Dr. Dhinesh Asogan, Thermo Fisher Scientific |
11:15 a.m. | Coffee Break |
11:30 a.m. | Neoma MS/MS: the future of MC-ICP-MS The field of triple quadrupole ICP-MS has grown significantly in recent years to include a considerable number of exciting geoscience applications, but many of these applications would benefit considerably from the excellent isotope ratio precision available from MC-ICP-MS. The Thermo Scientific Neoma MS/MS, with a novel pre-cell mass filter and hexapole collision/reaction cell, is the future of MC-ICPMS. We will discuss the technology and several of the applications that this technology makes available for the first time. Speaker: Darren Tollstrup, Thermo Fisher Scientific |
12:30 p.m. | Lunch |
1:30 p.m. | Introduction to the Direct Isotope Analysis of Intact Molecules Speaker: Darren Tollstrup, Thermo Fisher Scientific |
1:45 p.m. | Discovering nature’s fingerprints anew: isotope ratio analysis on bioanalytical mass spectrometers Recent work shows that mass spectrometers widely used in the life sciences can be fine-tuned to study natural-level isotopic fingerprints. This talk will focus mainly on the development of an electrospray-Orbitrap for measuring isotopes in intact polar compounds. Current research applications of this new tool at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and geology will be discussed.
