2026 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry

The continued growth in popularity of plasma sources for atomization and excitation in atomic spectroscopy and ionization in mass spectrometry and the need to discuss recent developments of these discharges in spectrochemical analysis stimulated the organization of this meeting. The Conference will bring together international scientists experienced in applications, instrumentation, and theory in an informal setting to examine recent progress in the field. Approximately 500 participants from 30 countries are expected to attend.

Symposia will be organized and chaired by recognized experts and will include many topics such as sample introduction and transport phenomena; micronebulization and flow processing spectrochemical analysis; fluorine and PFAS detection; nanomaterial analysis and characterization; elemental speciation, metallomics and sample preparation for speciation; plasma instrumentation, including advanced detectors, chemometrics, expert/smart systems, on-line analysis, microplasmas, software, and remote-system automation; sample preparation, treatment and automation; excitation mechanisms, plasma phenomena and modeling; spectroscopic standards and reference materials, and high-purity materials; plasma source mass spectrometry; glow discharge atomic and mass spectrometry; stable isotope analyses; laser-assisted plasma spectrometry; advanced materials bulk and surface characterization, elemental Imaging and mass cytometry, and novel plasma spectrochemical applications
