POPs research is growing rapidly in China, and use of isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) has been shown to be the most robust method for accurate and precise POPs analysis. Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) is partnered with RCEES,Tongji University and Zhejiang University, to hold three symposia for Chinese POPs research using IDMS. CIL is the global leader in the separation of stable isotopes and manufacture of stable isotope-labeled compounds, and wishes to help expand the communication and collaboration of current POPs research in China.

The symposia included discussions about emerging contaminants such as flame retardants, plasticizers, and PPCPs, as well as legacy compounds such as dioxins, PCBs, pesticides, PAHs, PCNs, and much more. Presentations demonstrated the advantages of IDMS for analysis of environmental, food, water, and human exposure samples.

The symposia included presentations from Chinese scientists at Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science, CAS, National Research Center for Environmental Analysis and Measurement, China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, Tongji University, Shanghai CDC, and Zhejiang University. CIL’s product manager will introduce the latest information about ongoing product development projects at CIL.  Read more
