This webinar provides an overview of reagent-free ion chromatography (RFIC) technology, its uses and benefits through key environmental and pharmaceutical applications, and how to spend less time on eluent preparation, method verification, troubleshooting and consistency checks, and more time on your analysis. Speakers: John Madden, Richard Jack, & Yan Liu from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Visit http://bit.ly/zOsoyd for more information.

This webinar describes using suppressed ion chromatography--mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) for glyphosate (a widely used broad-spectrum herbicide) analysis with the result that required reporting limits can be achieved without time-consuming derivatization. In addition, a validated extraction method for weathered toxaphene (banned since 1990) and its degradation products in fish tissues using Accelerated Solvent Extraction is also discussed. Speakers: Diana Burdette (US EPA R4 SESD), Stuart...

Larry Kazmerski, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Solar energy from photovoltaic devices has been around since the early days of the space race, but historically has not had a substantial impact on our global energy scheme. Is that now changing? Dr. Larry Kazmerski is the executive director of Science & Technology Partnerships at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO.

New material absorbs seven to eight times the energy absorbed by similar foams. Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Afsaneh Rabiei set out to make a material as light as aluminum and stronger than stainless steel. Her goal was to create something that could be used in products that would save lives, save energy and eventually save money, all at the same time.
