Microfabricated separations and GCxGC provide very strong themes Report on the 26th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography & Electrophoresis, held in Las Vegas, USA, 18‚Äö-22 May 2003

The Electrochemical Society, Inc. (ECS) holds its meetings twice a year at di¬¨¬8erent locations, usually in North America. However, its membership base is truly international and, in recognition of that, the meeting was this time held in Paris, France. However, this was not the ¬¨¬¢rst Paris meeting for the Society, a previous one, in autumn 1997, having been held jointly with the International Society for Electrochemistry. But the 2003 meeting was the ¬¨¬¢rst outside the USA or Canada organized solely by the ECS.
