Welcome!

We gladly welcome you to our central online resource for the analytical sciences. We invite you to review all of the available resources on this website. Our alliances with the American Chemical Society and the Analytical Sciences Digital Library (ASDL) strengthen our offering.

Our website informs you of awards, programs, publications, and professional opportunities of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry. Our overall objective is to keep you current on progress in the analytical sciences. Specific information will be provided about our calls for papers and final program for each ACS national meeting and for the Pittsburg Conference, Pittcon.

We hope that you will fine this website and the links to related ones beneficial to your career in analytical sciences and that you will share the information gleamed with others in the scientific community.
Any member of the executive committee would appreciate receiving your feedback on our offering.

Division Awards for 2010 are announced
The Division's Awards for 2010 will be presented at the National Meeting in Boston in August. Details about the awards and past recipients are available.

Division Support of Symposia at Regional ACS Meetings
The Analytical Division has a speaker's fund to help support programming at the regional American Chemical Society meetings. Awards will generally be made to support a thematic symposium. Funds can be used to support travel expenses of an expert in the field who would not normally attend that particular regional meeting. It is expected that local speakers will then be included to fill out the symposium. Alternatively, funds can be requested to provide more modest levels of support to several speakers from the region. The Division will help regional planners identify possible speakers for symposia topics, if necessary. Applications for support are considered on a rolling basis until the yearly allocation of funds has been expended. Anyone interested in applying for an award should contact Nadja Cech by email to discuss the nature of the symposium and the funds that are needed to help support the program.
