As was thecase two years ago, all the conference events – that is talks, poster presentations,instrument exhibition and company workshops – took place under one roof, whichallowed intensive contacts and exchange of information between the participants.The approximately 190 participants in CIA 2005 (new record!) presented 31 papersand 44 posters covering a wide range of ion analysis methods. The spectrum rangedfrom ion chromatography to capillary electrophoresis, flow injection analysis andmass spectrometry up to voltammetry and titration. Apart from scientists, users andinstrument manufacturers were also represented, so that all facets of ion analysiswere covered. Dr. Kai Henning Viehweger, IC Marketing Manager at Metrohm Ltd.,gave a paper on «Sequential suppression in anion chromatography».The poster and instrument exhibition took place directly adjacent to the lecture halland was therefore well visited.
