Sample Prep for Field Testing (TBA)
Tod Companion, DHS
UAV (e.g. UAVs, sensors integration in moving platforms)
Milt Statheropoulos, Ph.D., Natl. Technical University of Athens, Greece
This session will bring in several people from Europe focusing on developing UAVs and robots
for search and rescue operations. Topics will include wireless communications, different sensors,
and problems in using these devices in certain rescue operations.

Food Safety
Luis E. Rodriguez-Saona, Ph.D., The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH and Bei Ma,
M.S., United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Rockville, MD
An IFPAC Food Quality, Safety & Analysis Symposium Session - Food pathogens create an
enormous social and economic burden on communities and health systems continuing to be a
source of concern for consumers, federal government, and industry. The US Government has
identified a number of previously unrecognized food vehicles as causes of foodborne disease,
and the development of control strategies for pathogens and contaminants need to address a wide range of foods. This session will focus on detection technologies for foodborne pathogens
addressing sensitivity, specificity, speed of testing, and use under a variety of conditions to
ensure safe foods.
Technical Tutorials – These tutorials will begin as introductory and increasingly get more
technical and cover how to apply these various techniques in current day applications. There will
be plenty of time for Q&A after each technical tutorial.
Schedule may include:
• Mass Spec - A. Peter Snyder, Ph.D., U.S. Army, APG, MD
• Chemometrics – Milt Statheropoulos, Ph.D., Natl. Technical University of Athens,
Greece
• IMS/Mass Spec/Chemometrics – TBA
This tutorial will look at the next steps in using IMS Mobility, Mass Spec and
Chemometrics and how they can all come together for a project.
• Mass Spec and Bio-Formatics - Rabih E. Jabbour, Ph.D., Edgewood Chemical
Biological Center, U.S. Army Lab, APG, MD
This will include hyper-spectral data analysis which is linked to chemometrics.
• FTIR/Chemometrics Analysis – William J. Welsh, Ph.D., Rutgers University,
Piscataway, NJ
A case study involving the Rutgers Engineering Research Center and FTIR Spectra on
pharma tablets to make predictions using chemometrics to build models.
Posters – This is an excellent way to network and provides additional opportunities for Q&A.
Posters also provide an excellent opportunity for exposure for industry, academia and students.
Poster abstracts are being accepted until 22 December.
