On Thursday, May 17, 2012, Advion announced a new award
for undergraduate students, masters and PhD candidates, and post-doctoral
research associates, who demonstrate scientific excellence within the field of
mass spectrometry. The award was named after Advion's Scientific co-founder,
Jack Henion, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University, given his own passion for
the field as well as his strong ties with academia and dedicated support of
research excellence.
Following the announcement, Advion received feedback that
has led to a significant expansion of the award. Full terms and conditions, along with the
application, will be posted on Advion's website on Sunday, May 20th.

Key features of the Jack Henion Mass Spectrometry Award
include:
- Applicants can be from any country and
organization
- The body of research can be generated
using any Ion source technology.
- The application period has been extended
until March 31, 2013
- There will be three (3) finalists who will be announced at the Advion ASMS 2013
users' meeting
- The selection committee will be chaired by
Dr. Henion and include independent mass spectrometry experts representing a broad background
- The financial award for the selected first
place winner will be $5,000. The two
runners-up will be recognized as Henion Award Winner Finalists.
Given the response to the prior announcement, Dr. Henion
commented, "I have always endeavored to attract, support and motivate the
brightest and most innovative scientists to carry out applied analytical
research in search of truly useful new technologies that can make a difference
in the future. The purpose of this award
is to motivate today's scientists to strive for the discovery and development
of the next new mass spectrometry-based analytical technology which may become
as widely applicable as ion spray LC/MS became once it evolved from my Cornell
laboratory. We at Advion strongly
encourage and support innovation and the search for excellence in analytical
technologies. We have conceived this award to honor and recognize those who
truly excel in such endeavors."
Advion strives to push the envelope of scientific
innovation with its technology, and to challenge the status quo - offering this
award is to encourage others to do the same.
