Further Information: Main themes: The Trends in Sample Preparation 2004 Conference intends to provide a platform for the discussion of modern developments in sample preparation. The scientific program is devoted to all chemists working on topics associated with sample decomposition, solvent extraction, derivatization techniques and uncertainty in sample preparation. Also, microwave-assisted sample preparation and combinations of the mentioned scopes, such as combined solvent extraction derivatization, will be covered. Due to the increasing importance of mass spectroscopy in chemical analysis, we would like to make sample preparation for mass spectroscopy one focus of this conference.
