“The Scientific Association
Dedicated to Analytical Excellence”
In our pursuit toward analyticalexcellence, we work together todevelop and validate better methods,
establish best laboratory practices,
create robust quality management
systems,andbuildsustainable
laboratory organizations. Peer-to-peer
networking with top scientists isimperative so that laboratories canadapt to an environment of constantchange. Join us for the 38th Annual
Conference as we provide ourattendees with new topic areas inbiotechnology, energy innovations,nutraceuticals,nanotechnology andmachine learning. Come and hearabout promising tools and resources
needed to develop improved analyticalmethods and sustain excellence inthese challenging fields of study.

Please join us for an
informative conference in an
exciting Atlanta location.
Take this opportunity to meetother professionals and widen
your understanding ofanalytical methods. You will
make those contacts thatreally count when you have aproblem to solve or a method
to develop!

Engagement…
The Southern Section provides
the opportunity to bringindividuals together to solve
analytical problems.
