International Symposium on Quantitative Luminescence Spectrometry in Biomedical Sciences Gent, Belgium 3-6 September 1984
Sponsored by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the State University of Ghent, the National Foundation of Scientific Research (N.F.W.O.-F.N.R.S.), and the Ministry of Education Contributed papers (20 minute lectures or poster communications) will cover the following topics: drug and bioanalysis via fluorescence and phosphorescence (LTP, RTP, micellar); fluorescence and chemiluminescence immunoassays; detection techniques in chromatography (fluorescence, RTPL, etc.); solid surface luminescence methods; chemical derivatization methods; luminescence applications and drug metabolism, clinical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, ecology, protein tagging. The conference will be conducted in English and no simultaneous translation will be provided. Facilities for technical exhibitions will be arranged. Five plenary lectures will be presented by outstanding specialists in the field of quantitative luminescence spectrometry: R.P.
