Discussion on Meeting the Challenge of Molecule Specific Analysis and Imaging in Organic and Bio-Systems - Thursday
AIM: To provide a forum for deep and extensive discussion
of this major developing area for SIMS.
BACKGROUND: The SIMS XV Organising Committee believes that in-depth scientific
discussion is very important to derive full benefit from the new work
presented at the conference. However, this is very difficult to realise
in the structures of our usual meeting. We therefore plan to introduce
a full day Discussion after the style of the Faraday Discussions of the
Royal Society of Chemistry (see Faraday).
The mass spectral capability of ToF-SIMS would seem to make it a powerful
tool for the study of complex organic and bio-systems systems. To fully
realize this potential however requires a number of major challenges to
be met and overcome. Thus the topic area of the Discussion will be "Meeting
the Challenge of Molecule Specific Analysis and Imaging in Organic and
Bio-Systems".

08.40 to 09.50 Keynote speaker:
Professor Andrew Ewing, Penn State University.
DIS-I-Th-A01 Molecule
Specific Imaging and Analysis in Biology: What are the Challenges and
The Important Applications
09.50 to 11.00 Session 1 – Towards
high sensitivity and high spatial resolution
A fundamental discussion on how the challenge of sensitivity and spatial
resolution can be met.
DIS-O-Th-A02 Ron Heeren L.A. McDonnell, S. Luxembourg, A.F.M. Altelaar and S.R. Piersma, FOM Institute, Amsterdam – Why don’t biologists use SIMS
DIS-O-Th-A03 Barbara Garrison and Nick Winograd, Penn State University – Improvements in SIMS continue. Is the end in sight?
DIS-O-Th-A04 Emrys Jones, John Fletcher, Nicholas Lockyer and John C. Vickerman, The University of Manchester – ToF-SIMS analysis of bio-systems – Are polyatomic primary ions the solution?
11.20 to 13.00 Session 2 – Data handling
– from data overload to analytical clarity
The increased sensitivity that is being achieved results in extremely
complex spectra. A discussion on methods to access the information content
of SIMS spectra and images and the robustness of the conclusions drawn
from them.
DIS-O-Th-A05 David Castner and Daniel Graham, The University of Washington, Seattle, USA – Information from Complexity: Challenges of ToF-SIMS Data Interpretation
DIS-O-Th-A06 Roy Goodacre, John Fletcher, Alex Henderson, Charlotte Thompson, Nicholas Lockyer and John C Vickerman, University of Manchester, UK – Rapid discrimination of the casual agents of urinary tract infection using ToF-SIMS with chemometric cluster analysis
DIS-O-Th-A07 Bonnie Tyler, University of Utah, USA – Multivariate statistical image processing for molecule specific imaging in organic and bio-systems
DIS-O-Th-A08 Joseph Gardella and Tammy M Milillo, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA. - Spatial statistics and interpolation methods for ToF-SIMS Imaging
Lunch 13.00 to 14.00
14.00 to 18.00 Session 3 - Localization and
quantification of elements and molecules in cell culture, tissue, biosensors
and engineered arrays
This is the most challenging area of bio-analysis. It challenges sensitivity
and spatial resolution and covers elemental markers using both dynamic
and static SIMS as well as molecular detection using ToF-SIMS.
This Session will be divided into 2 or 3 discussion periods taking up to 4 papers at a time. The issues that may be addressed include the use of elemental tracers for molecular detection, the use of molecular ions themselves for analysis, the role of sample preparation techniques in obtaining desired data etc. How each discussion period is configured will await the content of the full papers.
