Joint LA-ICP-MS and LIBS Workshop from Applied Spectra and Analytik Jena
Subject: LA-ICP-MS and LIBS Fundamentals, Instrumentation, and Applications
Date: Monday, April 24 – Tuesday, April 25
Location: Applied Spectra HQ, Fremont, CA
Applied Spectra, Inc. is pleased to announce a two-day LA-ICP-MS workshop with Analytik Jena at Applied Spectra’s Fremont headquarters, located in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. The workshop will be held on April 24th and 25th.
Experts from Applied Spectra and Analytik Jena will present information about how laser ablation works with ICP-MS instruments, simplifies or replaces complex sample preparation, and the unique benefits of LA-ICP-MS to your analytical chemistry research and applications.
Participants may bring 1-2 samples for the demonstrations. Analysis will be subject to time constraints.
Space is limited!
Overnight lodging at nearby hotels; Marriot Courtyard, La Quinta, Good Nite Inn.

Presenter – Sean Mummey
Field Service Engineer – ICP-MS at Analytik Jena
Sean has a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Eastern Washington University. Quickly after school Sean found himself in an analytical laboratory chemist position in North Idaho where he expanded his knowledge of analytical laboratory instrumentation and techniques. Sean then found Analytik Jena, as well as Analytik Jena found Sean. Ever since it has been a great match. Sean loves providing service and support to every customer as he strives to create a great relationship with each one of them.
Who is Analytik Jena?
Analytik Jena, pronounced “Yae-nah”, is a provider of instruments and products in the areas of analytical measuring technology and life science. Its portfolio includes the most modern analytical technology and complete systems for bioanalytical applications in the life science area.
One of the most important business acquisitions in the history of Analytik Jena AG was closed in 2014. With this acquisition, the Company entered the rapidly growing global ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) market. Analytik Jena thereby further broadened its atomic spectroscopy portfolio, and is among the few suppliers that offer all three core technologies for elemental trace analysis (AAS, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS).
Only half a year after the acquisition of the ICP-MS business of the Bruker Corporation Analytik Jena introduces two new ICP-MS products (inductively coupled plasma for use in mass spectronomy) PlasmaQuant® MS and PlasmaQuant® MS Elite.
