TASIAs: The Next Frontier

The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards (TASIAs) return for 2016 to showcase the new technologies, instruments and software solutions that are breaking boundaries.

Rich Whitworth | 10/12/2016

The TASIAs are back! And like last year, the great minds behind the top five innovations will each have the opportunity to share the development story in a three-page Solutions article in 2017. Nominations are open – and all of these will be put to an expert panel, who will decide on the top 15 innovations of the year. You can enter by filling out the form here: http://tas.txp.to/2016TASIA The deadline is November 8.

Looking for some inspiration? Here are the Top Five innovations from 2015:

Full Spectrum Molecular Imaging (Waters) A combination of advanced MS imaging technologies, designed to deliver high quality, comprehensive, spatially resolved molecular information.
REIMS Research System with iKnife Sampling (Waters) A direct sampling ionization technique combined with high performance time-of-flight MS
Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) A high-performance mass spectrometer with enhanced sensitivity
Dual-needle Technology for LC-autosamplers (Agilent Technologies) Two independent flow paths within a single LC-autosampler module
MS-PECD (MassSpecpecD)Direct mass spectrometric detection of chiral molecules without any prior enantiomeric separation.

Rich Whitworth

Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
