Join at 12p tomorrow for our monthly webinar! Carsten Baessman from @bruker will give at talk titled "Monitoring emerging contaminants like PFAS beyond regulatory requirements using trapped-ion-mobility QTOF MS in combination with newly developed non-targeted workflows"

Check out this recent publication describing results of a community survey to determine desired characteristics/uses for an NTA standard mixture. The authors thank all respondents for providing valuable feedback! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

The April 15 #BP4NTA webinar will feature Jaanus Liigand from Quantem Analytics. He will discuss Quantem, a machine learning-based solution that predicts ionization efficiency directly from molecular structure and analysis conditions. Tune in to learn more!

The Outstanding Service Award recognizes outstanding contributions and service to BP4NTA. Nominations for winner Christine Fisher highlighted her efforts to grow membership, co-lead manuscripts; and establish organizational documents. Christine responded, “I am truly honored.”

Abstracts open for @SETACtweets 2025 meeting in Portland. BP4NTA is chairing a special session to celebrate Kathy Peter: 4.17 - In Memoriam Dr. Katherine Peter - Expanding Environmental Horizons to Unknown Limits. Please consider submitting an abstract. setac.secure-platform.com/po…

An #NTA study in @AnalBioanalChem titled "Examining environmental matrix effects on quantitative non-targeted analysis estimates of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances” suggests that reliable qNTA studies must use matrix-matched calibration data. link.springer.com/article/10…

Non-target screening is the focus of an INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE (#ICNTS25) from October 13-16th, 2025, held in Erding, Germany and online. Abstract submission is now open until May 15th, 2025 (with late-breaking posters accepted until August 31st, 2025): afin-ts.de/ICNTS25
