Sorry, registration is now closed as we are fully booked.
The LA-ICP-MS & LIBS User Group Meeting is a user-focussed event for researchers and industry professionals using laser ablation techniques to learn, share, and connect. It will include lab tours, demos, practical iolite workshops, community presentations, and networking opportunities. There will be a strong emphasis on collaboration and knowledge exchange. The dinner, sponsored by Elemental Scientific Lasers, will provide an excellent networking opportunity.
We invite users of all experience levels to register and present. We are particularly interested in hearing from early-career researchers and those new to the field, as well as established experts. We welcome submissions from a broad range of application areas, and the program will include topics such as biochemistry, forensics, geochemistry, environmental science, and materials science.
We also encourage users of various instruments and software to present their work and share their experiences.
