Shanghai, China : 8th - 10th May 2019

Congratulations to the attendees who graduated from the Kratos XPS Users' Training course organised and hosted by colleagues at Shimadzu China.  The 3-day course covered a broad range of subjects from fundamentals of XPS and interpretation of photoelectron spectra to details of best operating practices for accessories such as the gas reaction cell and UPS.  We thank Drs Ye of Sinopec Shanghai Research Institute of Petrochemical Technology and Zou from Institute of Chemistry Chinese Academy of Science for sharing thier experience and knowledge of these accessories.

The meeting was attended by 33 Users of both AXIS Supra and AXIS UltraDLD instruments.  Hosting the meeting st Shimadzu, Shanghai meant that we also had access to their AXIS Supra for a number of practical sessions.  One of the most beneficial outcomes of these meetings is the opportunity for informal discussion and in some cases the initiation of new collaborations. 

We look forward to hosting the next Chinese Users training meeting in 2020.
