20th Annual Mass Spectrometry Symposium

The purpose of The Ohio Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Symposium (OMSS 2023) two-day symposium is to provide an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers in the region to present their findings, share information, discuss research challenges with colleagues and spark new collaborations in the field of mass spectrometry and its rapidly advancing applications and technologies. The annual symposium is planned and hosted by The Ohio State University's Campus Chemical Instrumentation Center (CCIC) with generous support from our sponsors. Sponsors of OMSMS 2023 include Agilent, Bruker, Metabolon, SCIEX, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waters, Advion Interchim Scientific and Peak Scientific, with special thanks to our Platinum Level sponsor MOBILion.
