Sustainability in MS Workshop
SUSTAINABILITY IN MASS SPECTROMETRY WORKSHOP, MIB, MANCHESTER 09 MAY 2023.
This UKRI sponsored meeting we will discuss how we can sustain the future of mass spectrometry in the UK. This event is hosted by the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) and endorsed by the British Mass Spectrometry Society (BMSS).
The future of humanity will rely on collective decision making to reduce our use of energy. Sector actions taken towards net zero goals from global environmental security need to happen now. Analytical and measurement science can and must contribute towards this, both by providing the evidence of reduction and by innovating to reduce reliance on carbon in the end to end utilisation of mass spectrometry.
This event will be framed with a presentation from Dr Susan Simon, Director of Capital & Estates MRC, and Head of Sustainability Implementation, UKRI
We are seeking contributions from mass spectrometry manufacturers and mass spectrometry practitioners in both the private and academic sectors - examining what can be done to achieve net zero in our sector.
Breakout sessions will be used to establish KPIs for sustainability in mass spectrometry and the evidence required to monitor progress towards these objectives.
TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED WILL INCLUDE (but not limited to):
Design of MS instruments with lower carbon/lower energy consumption;
Modular design;
Recycling and reusing MS equipment;
Vendor agnostic software;
Reduction in packaging.
