CPSA 2008
The Value Proposition of Analytical Chemistry
October 27-30, 2008
Langhore, PA
Analytical chemistry has always thrived at boundaries both inside and outside chemistry, such as biology, materials sciences, forensics, and more. As an applied discipline, analytical chemists must generally focus on customer service while maintaining an innovative edge in their ability to deliver greater quantities of data faster, more efficiently, and hopefully with increasing quality. Our constant challenge is to leverage critical thinking skills as well as expertise in hardware and software integration to effectively deliver project milestones.
The CPSA symposia and roundtables are highly interactive events where opinion leaders share their experiences and visions on chemical and pharmaceutical structure analysis in a collegial setting. The symposia feature comprehensive perspectives on industry-related issues and needs. First-hand experiences with specific applications and technologies are openly discussed. The vendor sessions and poster sessions provide unique opportunities to promote interest and develop sustainable relations.
