The final day opened with a Plenary lecture given by Professor John Vickerman (University of Manchester) on the subject of’ Progress in Matrix-free Mass spectra 2D and 3D Imaging Of Bio-Systems With Good Spacial Resolution’. This was followed by 3 Plenary lectures given by Brigit Hagenhoff (Tascon GmbH) on ‘ToF-SIMS: A Fine Tuned Comb For Surfaces), ‘Static And Dynamic Electric Field Homogeneity Limitations To The Performance of FTICR Mass Spectrometer.’ by Peter O’Connor (University Of Warwick) and ‘Shape Selective Studies of Complex Systems Utilising Travelling Wave Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry’ from Jim Scrivens also University of Warwick. Delegates’ oral presentations then followed in each of the three parallel sessions.


As is common at the BMSS meeting, the final presentation is that decided by the Chair of the BMSS at that time. This time John Langley had invited Dr Bob Boyd from the NRC in Canada to address the delegates on ‘Mass Spectrometrists are Analytical Scientists’ in which he discussed some advances in scientific understanding made by mass spectrometrists in the fields of physics, molecular biology, environmental sciences and metrology. These serious achievements were the result of combining the theory of mass spectrometry (knowing why it works even if it doesn’t) with its practice (i.e. when it works but we don’t know why) to create a discipline that is a merger of the two (it often doesn’t work and we have no idea why not).

With over 50 exhibiting organisations ranging from the well known players in the instrument business through to manufacturers, CRO organisations, suppliers of ancillary and specialist products, software offerings, 3rd party Servicing companies, HPLC Column manufacturers, Specialist journals, Training and Recruitment agencies, there was certainly something there for everyone. An interesting departure was the timing of the vendor presentations to the delegates which ran alongside the ‘official’ presentations during the afternoon sessions on the 6th and 7th.

WINNERS OF THE BARBER AND BARDOLI PRIZES


The Barber Prize (best oral) went to joint winners - Martin De Cecco (Edinburgh University) and Dale Shepherd Leeds University). The Bordoli Prize (best poster) went to Salina Abdul Rahman (Edinburgh University).


BMSS 2011


The 32nd BMSS meeting will also be held in Cardiff from September 11-14th, with the promise of horse racing next year instead of the pigs.


The New Gas Analyser


Hiden Analytical introduce the new QGA compact benchtop mass spectrometer configured for continuous real-time multi-species analysis of both gases and vapours in the pressure range from 2 bar to 100mbar absolute. Applications include thermal analysis, fermentation processes, catalysis and general gas reaction studies. With mass range to 300amu and detection levels to 100ppb the system features the QGA operating program for quantitative analysis of up to 16 gases and vapours, together with an internal 10-peak spectral library and automated spectral overlap correction. Data is readily integrated in real time with external monitors including temperature, pressure and weight and with external gas monitors for


applications such as CO monitoring in the presence of N2. The innovative APSI mode reduces molecular fragmentation by soft ionisation to refine analysis of complex organic molecules and enables selective ionisation of many gas species by selection of specific ionisation energies - helium and deuterium at mass 4 for example.


The flexible 2M long sample interface operates to 200°C and is configured to balance sample consumption to the process requirements with sample consumption rates controllable from 1 to 16mL/min. Options include high- pressure adaptors for sample pressures to 30 bar, gas stream selectors for selection from up to 80 gas streams and hot-zone extensions for direct sampling from processes to 1000°C.
