Building a scientific tradition since day one

Since its beginnings in 1974, FACSS has created a tradition of proudly bringing together leading scientists across many disciplines for scientific exchange.

FACSS has accomplished this mission through world-class technical programs, exhibitions, and a variety of informal networking opportunities. The meetings cover the whole of analytical chemistry with an emphasis on emerging technologies.

Over the years, FACSS has developed a loyal following of conferees from the U.S. and abroad who have traveled with us to many cities across North America. For your participation and continued support, we thank you.
