The following local groups routinely hold meetings on various topics relating to mass spectrometry, chromatography, and related topics with invited speakers. If you would like to attend their meetings or for additional information please visit the web site listed below.
If your group is not listed here and you would like to have your group and its meeting schedule listed please let us know. We would be glad to list any professional mass spec or GC group and include their meeting schedule. If your mass spec news group has a home page, we will hyperlink to it.
The MCM-MSDG has been meeting since 1982. This group sponsors short courses on topics from "Interpretation to Basics" to "LC/MS" as well as meetings throughout the year. We also publish a members' directory every 3 years which includes members addresses, phone numbers and instruments used.
There are over 250 members from a broad geographic area. About 30 members are from outside Illinois or Wisconsin. The reason for the diverse membership is because this group has a quarterly Newsletter which covers many aspects of mass spectrometry in addition to Discussion Group news.
