Over 3 ½ days, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC) will bring together two established analytical conferences to the 500 year old venue of the King’s College at the University of Aberdeen.
Both meetings traditionally focus on trace element analysis, with BNASS focussing on the promotion and development of both fundamental and applied atomic spectroscopy in all sample types, and TraceSpec featuring foremost the analysis of the molecular form of metals and metalloids in environmental, material and biological tissues.
This TANDEM conference aims to bring these two analytical communities closer together with a programme that draws out topical and vibrant areas from both and importantly making room for overlap and overarching themes. The TANDEM conference will be accompanied by an exhibition of analytical equipment in the historical setting of Elphinstone Hall, where the poster exhibition and coffee breaks will also take place to set the scene for thriving discussions.

BNASS 2014 – 17th Biennial National Atomic Spectroscopy Symposium
This meeting has been organised for over 30 years by the Atomic
Spectroscopy Group of the RSC, and provides an ideal forum for
manufacturer, professional analysts and scientists who are interested in
analytical atomic spectrometry and its applications.
TraceSpec 2014 – 14th Workshop on Progress in Trace Metal Speciation for Environmental Analytical Chemistry
The TraceSpec meeting is unique because that it traditionally brings
together users of hyphenated atomic and molecular spectrometric
techniques such as HPLC-ICPMS and HPLC-ESI-MS with those who use dynamic
speciation techniques (voltammetry, DGT, etc.), direct in-situ surface
methods (XANES, EXAFS) and thermodynamic or kinetic based modelling.
The BNASS and TraceSpec Tandem Conference will focus on the following aspects:
- Total element measurements, down to ultra-trace levels in all sample types using element-specific techniques.
- Techniques include Atomic Absorption (ETV, Flame and Hydride /
Cold-Vapour generation), Atomic Emission (FAES, ICP-OES, ), Mass
Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Atomic Fluorescence (AFS) and Glow Discharge
systems.
- Use of XRF for total element measurements and elemental mapping.
- Laser-assisted plasma spectrometry. Sample presentation techniques and isotope analysis.
- Non-traditional element analysers for non-metals, eg fluorine using techniques such as CS-MAS.
- QC / QA, reference materials, spectroscopic standards and chemometric data handling.
- Speciation of metal(loid)s in oceanography and freshwaters.
- Elemental speciation in soil and plant interaction.
- Elemental speciation methods of colloids and nano-particles.
- Speciation studies combining several techniques.
- Speciation analysis in biological tissues and body fluids.
- Speciation analysis in farm to fork and in legislation.
