WORKSHOP

What's Your Biggest Challenge?

Sponsored by Waters Corporation

If it has anything to do with LC-MS, you won’t want to miss this! In its many forms, LC-MS has become a go-to technology in many industries for routine quantitative analysis. As the industry trends toward bringing this technology closer to the patient and we prepare to work together over the next two days to explore ideas for improving the ways disease is detected, we invite you to join us for an initial discussion that focuses on specific needs for quantitative LC-MS. In this unique forum, we openly encourage you to talk about your biggest challenges with one of the most popular routine analysis tools in the world. You will collaborate with your peers and discuss common challenges such as Sample Collection & Preparation, Method Development, Data Acquisition & Analysis, as well as Repair & Maintenance, but ideas around Future Business Models, Design & Form Factor, as well as Automated Workflow Integration and others are all on the table.

Workshop

An Integrated Workflow for Personalized Healthcare: Precision Pumping, Sample Collection and Preparation, Separations and Detection

Sponsored by New Objective

We invite you to participate in a discussion where we will work together to identify the challenges around developing integrated solutions for personalized healthcare. In a structured workshop setting, leaders in fields of Precision Pumping, Sample Collection & Preparation, Separations, and Detection, will come together and ask strategic questions. Integral to the discussion will be the role of standardization and an assessment of whether or not it is the key to unlocking the code to integration. As we lay down the track for a journey into the future of high performance nanospray and its integral role in personalized healthcare, we will fuel this engine with inspiration, innovation, consensus and collaboration.

Session 3

Reception & Dinner

Common Challenges, Big Ideas, and Crazy Solutions that Just Might Work

Sponsored by Waters Corporation

We invite you to join your colleagues for a lively evening discussion regarding important scientific problems that could potentially be solved by the application of technology. In this facilitated workshop setting, you will collaborate with your peers and discuss common challenges with Sample Collection & Preparation, Separations, Detection, as well as Data Management & Analysis. Together, we’ll prioritize the challenges and brainstorm some solutions, developing a single-voice for the needs of our industry. After the conference, a comprehensive report will be made openly available to all attendees, identified challenges will form the basis of next year’s CPSA Europe technical programme, and hopefully, some workgroups will form around high-priority challenges. Don’t miss the chance to shape the future of this meeting and tell our commercial partners exactly what challenges you face and the tools you need to address them! Hosted bar and heavy appetizers will be served.
