ICP Alley Returns in 2027
CEM, Glass Expansion, GFS Chemicals and Inorganic Ventures are teaming up once more to bring ICP Alley back to Pittcon, this time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Together, the four companies cover the full ICP workflow — from sample prep through calibration — giving analysts one place to find real answers instead of piecing together solutions from a dozen vendors.
Listen to Bench Boost
Bench Boost is a podcast from Inorganic Ventures focused on real-world solutions in trace elemental analysis. Topics include ICP-MS/ICP-OES optimization, contamination control, sample prep, chemical stability, and more.

Less Friction, More Flow: Simplifying ICP Oil Analysis with ASOSolv™
Traditional organometallic standards for oil-based ICP analysis come with real costs — supply chain uncertainty, instrument maintenance, and workflows that don't flex. Watch IV's Mike Booth and Texas Scientific Products' Sergei Leikin introduce ASOSolv™, a hybrid aqueous/organic solvent that simplifies calibration, eliminates torch carbon buildup, and delivers lower detection limits for wear metals and contaminants in oils.
