ISMAS
organizes Workshops on Mass Spectrometry at Research Institutes
and Universities in different parts of India. These Workshops
are aimed at introducing the subject of Mass Spectrometry
to novices, updating the Mass Spectrometrists with the latest
developments in the field, exposing the participants to innumerable
applications of Mass Spectrometry and providing a common forum
for discussing the day-to-day problems when working with a
Mass Spectrometer. The programme of these Workshops consists
of Tutorials, Interest Group Presentations and Invited Lectures.
The lectures include fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry, qualitative
and quantitative aspects and data interpretation, maintenance
of Mass Spectrometers, selection of a mass spectrometer, applications
in various branches of science as well as recent advances
in Mass Spectrometry. The lectures are supplemented by
(i)
Open-forum discussions on the experiences gained by the Resource
Persons (faculty) as well as by the participants in running
and maintaining the mass spectrometers and
(ii)
Visits to local laboratories equipped with mass spectrometers.

The
manuscripts of the Invited Talks and the Contributed Papers
of the Workshop are edited and brought out in the form of
a book prior to the Workshop and are distributed to all the
delegates at the time of Registration.
During
each Workshop, Research Scholars are provided with an opportunity
to make oral presentations of their research work. Cash Awards
and Certificates of Merit are given to the three best presentations.
ISMAS Workshop has been renamed as 'ISMAS Workshop cum Seminar on Mass Spectrometry' with effect from April 2005.
