|
|
18 March 2010, NUS, Science Auditorium (LT31), Level 3, S16, Faculty of Science
|
|
The naïve question “what happens upon addition of a simple CH2-group into each and every amino acid of a peptide or protein” side chains opens a door into a new world with similarities and, at the same time, fundamental differences of structures. The journey into this world was only possible by hard-core organic synthesis. It will be described how purely curiosity-driven research has led a synthetic chemist into biochemistry, biology and biomedicine where totally unpredictable results were obtained.

ISCOC-9 and ISCIC-6
|
17 – 21 December 2006,
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore
|
|
The International Symposium for Chinese Organic Chemists (ISCOC) was started 15 years ago
when a group of prominent organic chemists had the foresight to establish a symposium based
in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong where the organic chemists came together to disclose their
latest results, discuss trends and foster new collaborations as well as cultivate academic
exchanges. The positive results convinced the inorganic counterpart to adopt the model and
establish the International Symposium for Chinese Inorganic Chemists (ISCIC) 5 years later.
Today, these two symposia have evolved to be a major forum whereby we can showcase the
intensive activities that are ongoing in the Chinese community, not only in Asia, but also
other parts of the world such as N America, Europe and Australasia.

|
|
1. Electrochemical Techniques : Fundamentals & Applications
Paul Duckworth
Secretary, Electrochemical Division
Royal Australian Chemical Institute (EDRACI)
Electrochemical techniques are widely used in chemical analysis, particularly when low
cost and system portability are desired. An understanding of electrochemical phenomena
is important in applying electrochemical methods and in developing new electrochemical
devices. This workshop will cover the basis of voltammetric and amperometric analysis
and focus on selected applications of electrochemical science in modern analytical
chemistry. A particular emphasis will be made on method development, electrode choice
and instrumentation.
2. Electrochemistry of Thin Film Materials
Marco Musiani
Research Director, Dirigente di Ricerca
IENI CNR, Corso Stati Uniti 4, 35127 Padova, Italy.
Electrochemistry is a versatile and effective tool for the preparation and/or
characterization of a variety of thin film materials. These materials find application in a
large number of technologies where the properties of the outermost layers (including
surface properties) are as important as, or more important than bulk properties. This is
the case of corrosion protection, functional coatings, decorative coatings, electrocatalysts,
electrochromism etc. Notable examples of what can be achieved by electrochemical
methods are provided for the following:
Electrodeposition of metals, alloys and composites.
Electropolymerization.
Passivation and Anodisation
Intercalation compounds
Nanostructures
3. Potentiometric Sensors – Principles and Applications
Bahruddin Saad
Professor, School of Chemical Sciences
Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia
Potentiometric sensors, PS, (also known as selective electrodes) can be found in most
analytical laboratories. Thus, a sound knowledge of their working principles, capabilities
and their limitations are vital to exploit their full analytical potential. Following a short
introduction to PS, the lecture will dwell on the underlying principles that give rise to the
generation of potential that form the basis of this type of analytical measurements. Key
features of the technique, including advantages and anticipated problems with
measurements are discussed. A detail step-by-step description on the fabrication of PS as
well as common methods of analysis will also be provided. Other new formats such as
the electronic tongue and flow-through devices conducted in the presenter’s laboratories
involving a drug sensor for drug dissolution testing (pharmaceutical industries), a
herbicide sensor for environmental monitoring and triiodide sensor for the determination
of peroxide value in vegetable oils will be presented.

Quality Management in Laboratories
|
|
13th Oct 2005, Furama RiverFront Hotel
|
|
The quality of products depends very much on the validity of laboratory measurements which determine
the degree of its quality. Furthermore, trust in quality can only exist on the basis of trust in the
measurement in proving this quality. Hence, a good quality management in the laboratory will assure
that this objective is met without fail. However, quality management cannot be handled by the senior
management alone. In fact, the whole laboratory personnel should be involved in this process and
a third party accreditation will further enhance the quality status of the laboratory. This
presentation aims to give an overview of the quality management practices in quality control
and commercial laboratories. Ability to meet these quality management criteria will facilitate to
shape and improve the quality outputs continuously.
