Introduction History Member Institutions Join MaSC Workshops and Meetings Data Submission Links Contact Us ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Users’ Group for Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography (MaSC) was established in March 2003 as a discussion forum for conservation scientists who wish to exchange information regarding sampling strategies and protocols, preparation of samples, chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis, data treatment and interpretation of results. In keeping with these aims, a focus of the users' group is the compilation and distribution of mass spectrometric and chromatographic data relevant to scientists working in art conservation and related fields. MaSC is currently accepting contributions to its mass spectral database, and will be adding other types of databases in the future. The users’ group aims to organise a meeting and workshop every one or two years with a focus on chromatography and mass spectrometry methods applied to the study of cultural heritage. If you are interested in joining the Users’ Group for Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography (MaSC), please see the membership page.
