Summary Page

The 14^th Annual Meeting of the Israel Analytical Chemistry Society was a major success, both professionally and socially.

The success of this event is attributable mainly to the active participants of the meeting – plenary speakers, keynote speakers, oral presenters, poster presenters, exhibitors and the audience.
We wish to thank each and every one of you!

The Conference ISRANALYTICA 2011, the 14th Annual Meeting of the Israel Analytical Chemistry Society and the Exhibition took place according to the formed already tradition, in February 7-8, 2011, at the David Intercontinental Hotel, Tel-Aviv, Israel. This year Isranalytica 2011 was a major part of the "week of chemistry 2011" celebration

The annual meetings of the Israel Analytical Chemical Society have become one of the largest annual conferences in analytical chemistry in the World. About 3000 participants from academia, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, petrochemistry and food industry, biochemistry and biology, water experts, engineers, quality managers and metrologists from major laboratories and companies from Israel and from about 20 other countries, attended. About 60 leading companies of analytical equipment have also successfully participated in the conference and exhibition bridging between technology developments and end users. In fact, ISRANALYTICA combines the largest chemistry convention in Israel with the largest analytical chemistry exhibition in one location.

ISRANALYTICA has been recognized by the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), and the Cooperation for International Traceability in Analytical Chemistry (CITAC).

The scientific program consisted this year of 4 plenary lectures, 14 keynote lectures, 56 lectures delivered by international top scientists and a special "meet the regulator" sessions delivered by top regulatory experts, and a poster session.

Three prestigious poster awards were granted by the Conference Organizing Committee to the outstanding posters in the general assembly of the Israel Analytical Chemistry Society.

The remarkable success of ISRANALYTICA was primarily due to the participants submitted their presentations, presented their analytical equipment through one of the exhibition booths, or simply attended the conference. It was an exciting, interesting and fruitful meeting.

THE VENUE

The David Intercontinental Hotel was a superb location for the event. Its proximity to the beach and major business and cultural centers in Tel-Aviv enabled the participants to enjoy its surroundings. The organization was excellent, with a most efficient and kind staff that took care of hundreds of people at a time with no worry

EXHIBITION

The exhibition was the largest analytical chemistry exhibition for 2011 in Israel.
It included all the major companies and was most interesting. Its large space enabled social and scientific communication and the relaxed atmosphere allowed new ideas to interact as well as new contacts to be made.

Career fair

February9-10 2011
9:00-17:00

The David intercontinental Hotel, Tel-Aviv

A well attended Career fair took place at the 2 conferences of the IACS and the ICS.

Chemistry students participated in this career fair along with people who had worked in the industry before. The careers were offered by placement companies with expertise in chemistry, industrial companies that need chemists and government offices that promote employment.

Biophamaceutics for Chemists - Concepts and Applications

Dr. Dionigio Franchi, Italy 
9 February 2011

Acquaintance with the different elements that play a role in drug absorption: GI tract, physical-chemical properties of the API, in vitro biorelevant tools such as dissolution release testing as a pre-requisite for an effective drug delivery.

A science-based discussion of the values of dissolution testing used in the drug-development continuum for the characterization of in vitro drug liberation from oral dosage forms.

Chiral Recognition and Separation Mechanisms

Prof. Nelu Grinberg, USA 

10 February 2011


The seminar will focus on specific interactions between the enantiomeric analytes and each specific chiral stationary phase, rather than the techniques used to separate enantiomers. This approach will allow the participants to understand the strategies for development of a separation of enantiomers, along with the conditions to achieve each type of interaction
