Advantages of a Hyphenated PID/MS Combination for GC Applications  Status:  Accepted for POSTER Presentation Pittcon 2012:    ACS Analytical Chemistry Div ison  Slot #24 03/12/12 Methodology: Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Keywords:   Flavor/Essential Oil Forensic Chemistry Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Hydrocarbons Authors & Affiliations: Jack Driscoll, PID Analyzers, LLC Clifford M. Taylor, Shimadzu Scientific Jennifer Maclachlan, PID Analyzers, LLC Abstract: There are many situations where a second detector can save time and effort, even for a mass selective detector (MSD).  These include critical analyses (forensic samples) where duplicate analyses are needed, where small samples or low concentration samples are being analyzed, where flavors or odorous compounds are being analyzed or if a high level sample is being analyzed. The photoionization detector (PID) is a very sensitive, non destructive detector for VOC’s (low or s

Heading to #acsdenver? Check out one of the highlights of the ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry program: Symposium featuring Novel Solutions to Water Pollution organized by my friend, S. Ahuja Novel Solutions to Water Pollution 242nd ACS National Meeting and Exposition Denver, CO August 28-September 1, 2011 Sponsored by the ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry Clean water is becoming an ever-decreasing commodity across the developed and developing world. Considering that an estimated 1.2 billion people in the world use contaminated water for drinking, finding methods to prevent contamination and treat water through economic and sustainable means becomes an imperative. In the past, it was believed that known technology would be able to support the growing water needs of Earth’s residents without impairing the quality of the existing water resources. However, it became evident that this perception was false and that novel research, development and implementation of new t

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Analytical Chemistry is co-programming with the Pittcon Technical Program and will include symposia, organized contributed sessions, and one poster session. Utilizing social media to continue the International Year of Chemistry mission beyond 2012 Abstract Status: Accepted for Pittcon 2012 POSTER SLOT #23 03/12/12 By: Jennifer Maclachlan  The mission of the International Year of Chemistry is "to celebrate the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind". Social media played an integral role in promoting the IYC; via IYC website,ACS Network, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In and blogging enabling worldwide participation and sharing. As a member of the American Chemical Society I have had the opportunity to volunteer my time to participate in numerous ACS IYC activities as well as my own IYC Cape Cod Science Cafes. Use of social media has proved successf
