7th Workshop on Field-Flow Fractionation -MS

Analytical tools in life sciences

Engineered nanomaterials are subject of intense research since several years – nanoanalytical tools are mainly based on fractionation techniques such as FFF, HDC and CE coupled on-line with ICP-MS. Nowadays imaging techniques gain importance in life-science, e.g. for the application of nanomaterials or the analysis of single-cells.

Thus, the 7th Workshop on Field Flow Fractionation and Mass Spectrometry (FFF-MS) will focus on the application of nanomaterials in life science and environmental technology and the applicability of nanoanalytical tools in these fields.

A special focus will be placed on the complementary analysis of nanomaterials in life science application as well as during their synthesis. Special topics are

• Analysis of organic cappings and organic nanomaterials
  Analysis of interactions between nanomaterial and biological tissue
  Synthesis and application of nanomaterials in life science and environmental technology.

Scope of the Workshop

Part I (first day) will start with two survey lectures given by experts:

• Dr. Sophie Marie Briffa from University of Birmingham, UK
  Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Tremel from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany

in the field. Scientific presentations will complete the morning and afternoon session. Speakers will receive a partial travel subsidy.

Part II (second day) of the workshop will be organized in the format of a tutorial on a field relevant topic offering various opportunities for discussion.
