Upcoming MMSDG Events


Dear MMSDG member:

Our next meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2000 ANACHEM/SAS symposium on Thursday November 16. The meeting is at the Burton Manor located at 27777 Schoolcraft, Livonia, MI (directions at the end of the announcement). This year the mass spectrometry session will be an all day session and will focus on technologies. Six instrument vendors will be giving presentations on different aspects of mass spectrometry as well as their currently available instrumentation and software products. The vendors will have informational booths and will be available during the day for one-on-one discussions with you. Since the vendors will be in one location, this will be a perfect opportunity for you to discuss with them any instrument or application needs you may have. It will also be a good opportunity to learn about other technologies that you may not currently be using. For graduate students, this is a great time to begin networking with mass spectrometrists in the field.

The 1999 ANACHEM award winner and keynote speaker is Dr. Steve Stein of NIST. Steve is the award recipient for his contributions to the NIST Mass Spectrometry Library and Search programs. Many of you use his products in your daily work.

The following is the schedule of presentations at the meeting.

Poster session and wine/cheese reception

Pre-registration has begun. The registration fee is $40 ($15 for students and retirees) and includes materials, a continental breakfast, lunch, instrument exhibits, workshops, and a wine/cheese reception during the poster presentations. A registration form can be found on the ANACHEM web site (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Detroit_Chemists) (note there is an underscore between Detroit and Chemists). I can also fax you a registration form if you send me your fax number. Pre-registration is through November 7. Registration at the door will be cost slightly more.

The Burton Manor is located at 27777 Schoolcraft between Inkster and Middlebelt Rds. It’s on the south side of the I-96 service drive. Schoolcraft is a divided service drive for I-96 with the eastbound lanes on the south side and the westbound lanes on the north side. Coming from the east, take I-96 (Jeffries Expressway) west and exit at Inkster Rd. Continue west on the service drive about 1 block. Turn left at the expressway overpass to Burton Manor. Coming from the west, exit at Middlebelt Rd. and take the I-96 eastbound service drive to Burton Manor.
