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.
Dr. Dorothy Philips 2010 Chair, Division of Analytical Chemistry
Division member receives highest ACS honor
The 2010 Priestley Medal will be awarded to Richard Zare of Stanford University on Tuesday, March 22 in San Francisco. The award is given each year for lifetime contributions to chemistry. Dick Zare has made many contributions to the field of analytical chemistry and is a past recipient of the ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry (1998) and the Division's Award in Chemical Instrumentation (1995). His award address will be linked shortly after the presentation.
Spring 2010 Newsletter published
The latest issue of the Division of Analytical Chemistry Newsletter has just been published. Edited by Xudong Yao, it includes a message of Division Chair Dorothy Philips, and one from Subdivision Chair Brian Bidlingmeyer, announcements of programs at upcoming meetings, and information about the Industrial Liason Committee, FACSS,the EAS The Kolthoff student travel awards, support of ACS Regional Meeting programming, and an acknowledgement of the Division's Corporate Patrons and Academic Partners.

A symposium on life science applications of ion mobility-mass spectrometry will be held on March 16 at the University of Pennsylvania, March 17 at Johns Hopkins and March 18 at the University of Maryland-College Park. Speakers are Alison Ashcroft of the University of Leeds, Helen Cooper of the University of Birmingham, David Russell of Texas A&M University, and David Clemmer of Indiana University.
The Division will have 228 papers presented at the ACS National Meeting, March 21-25 in San Francisco. All sessions will be in the Moscone Center. These links provide more information: Session outline; Complete list of papers; Complete abstracts. Suggestion: Use the complete list of papers to identify the abstracts you want to read, then open the larger (900 KB) abstract file.
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.
