Technologies
(ExTech)
series
started
in
1999,
and
has
been
held
annually
around
the
world

The
ExTech®
symposium
is
the
world
leading
scientific
meeting
for
sample
preparation,
analytical
extraction
and
sample
clean-up
techniques.
The
focus
of
the
symposia
has
been
the
discussion
and
presentation
of
the
theoretical
and
fundamental
aspects
of
well-established
and
novel
technologies
and
materials,
as
well
as
their
application
to
biological,
pharmaceutical,
chemical,
clinical,
environmental
and
forensic
analysis.
Lectures
and
presentations
will
cover
traditional
and
emerging
techniques
such
as
Solid
Phase
Extraction
(SPE)
and
Microextraction
(SPME),
Stir
Bar
Sorptive
Extraction
(SBSE),
and
Liquid
Phase
Microextraction
(LPME),
as
well
as
novel
materials
and
formats.
It
will
be
a
perfect
opportunity
for
researchers
and
analysts
to
present,
discuss
and
exchange
ideas
in
all
areas
of
sample
preparation
and
extraction,
on
application
fields
such
as
green
chemistry,
forensic,
bioanalytical,
natural
products,
food
and
flavor
chemistry.
A
short
course
on
"Recent
Advances
on
Sample
Preparation
for
Chemical,
Pharmaceutical
and
Environmental
Analysis"
will
be
held
on
August,
4.
