Following on from the success of Elementar’s User Meetings in Europe, Elementar Americas Inc. is pleased to announce our inaugural North American Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry User Meeting on 16th & 17th May, 2023, hosted at James Madison University, Virginia, USA. This event is free to attend.

The purpose and vision of the meeting is to offer a community event space to discuss and promote stable isotope analysis and instrumentation. A core Elementar value is support of the elemental analysis and stable isotope analysis communities; we are proud to offer a space to foster new ideas and the opportuny to share best analytical practices to enable optimum instrument performance, data quality and instrument lifetime. As such, the event is free and open to anyone that uses, or may use, any brand of stable isotope analyser; we particularly welcome early career stage researchers, students, and users from under represented communities.

The schedule will include a variety of presentations and workshops, featuring Elementar service engineers, technical and application specialists, as well as user presentations highlighting their applications and research.

We would extend the invitation to present your research to all who would like to do do; please indicate at registration your intention, and a title/abstract. There is no hard deadline to submit, but ideally by 8th of May to allow us to revise the schedule if necessary. We will endevour to allow as many speakers to participate as possible.

Presentations will be oral, and should aim to be 25 minutes long, with 5 minutes alloted for questions.
