What is MinnMass?The Minnesota Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (Minn. Mass) consists of
people involved in technical areas utilizing mass spectrometry as the major
analytical technique. While membership in Minn. Mass is open to all
interested people, the majority of the meetings take place in the greater
Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Back to Top
What do you do?Activities of the Minn. Mass Discussion Group include approximately four
meetings and a summer picnic each year, a vendor evening and one off-site
meeting every other year. The meetings typically involve presentations by
local and/or visiting scientists from the midwest area. In some cases,
tours of mass spectrometry facilities are conducted after these presentations.
Periodically, guest speakers from the American Society of Mass Spectrometry
(ASMS) and the Chicago Mass Spectrometry Group are invited to give
presentations. Every other year, Minn. Mass sponsors a Vendor Evening
where sales representatives from major instrument manufacturers gather to
discuss their company's products and recent accomplishments. These
gatherings have proven to be a very beneficial clearing house for those
interested in keeping up-to-date in current mass spectrometry products. Back to Top
