The 19th Czech - Slovak Spectroscopis Conference (19th CSSC) is a proceeding based on a long-term scientific cooperation between Ioannes Marcus Marci Spectroscopic Society and The Slovak Spectroscopic Society. The meetings organized by the former Czechoslovak spectroscopic society (1949 – 1993) in the past and the continuation in this tradition in the form national Slovak and Czech spectroscopic conferences now, since 2008, exist as a joint event.The Czech spectroscopic conference was repeated every four years, while the Slovak spectroscopic conference took place biannually. Joint scientific meetings are now held every two years, alternating between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The order may change if this conference is combined with the European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry (ESAS). To maintain the tradition of the original separate national conferences, the conferences held in the Czech Republic retain their original serial numbering, and the same applies to the conferences held in Slovakia.<h3>Registration</h3><blockquote>👉<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://cssc2026.spektroskopie.cz/registration_online">Online registration form</a></blockquote><h4>Registration Fees</h4><h5>Early (before June 15, 2026)</h5><ul><li>Participant (Member of IMMSS and SSS): 10 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Participant (Non-member of IMMSS and SSS): 14 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Students: 7 000 CZK&nbsp;</li><li>1-day registration: 5 000 CZK</li><li>Accompanying person*: 5 000 CZK</li></ul><h5>Regular (after June 15, 2026)</h5><ul><li>Participant (Member of IMMSS and SSS): 13 000 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Participant (Non-member of IMMSS and SSS): 18 200 CZK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Students: 9 100 CZK&nbsp;</li><li>1-day registration: 6 500 CZK</li><li>Accompanying person*: 6 500 CZK</li></ul>* The accompanying person does not have access to the scientific programmeThe conference fee is calculated with VAT and includes:<ul><li>attendance to lectures and poster session</li><li>book of abstracts (electronic version)</li><li>booklet</li><li>lunches, refreshments (coffee/tea breaks)</li><li>excursion</li><li>attendance at Welcome Party and Gala Dinner.&nbsp;</li></ul>For an accompanying person, the conference fee includes the Welcome Party, the excursion and the Conference Dinner.

<h4>The problem&nbsp;</h4>We live in a “global village” but we are all different and we use many different languages to communicate.&nbsp;Even when people speak the same language, the same words may be used with different meanings. See, for example, some different uses of the word “standard” in English – a normative document, a solution of known concentration or even a type of flag.&nbsp;Even in the same area of activity misunderstandings do occur which may result in a waste of time and money, or even worse consequences.&nbsp;When talking about laboratory tests, lack of a full understanding of key terms and inappropriate translations leaves room for different interpretations of stated requirements. For example, there have historically been a number of different but related uses of the term ‘detection limit’. This may lead to inadequate fulfilment of those requirements, thus becoming an obstacle to the production of analytical data that is fit for its intended use. A shared interpretation of concepts related to quality in measurement between laboratories and accreditation bodies is also crucial for a fair and harmonised approach to laboratory assessment across the world.&nbsp;<h4>A common language&nbsp;</h4>We need a common language; clear and unambiguous. We need a common vocabulary to provide consistent definitions of concepts with their associated terms. To this end, several organisations participate in a joint effort to develop and maintain an international vocabulary of metrology (VIM) [1], which aims to achieve a unique understanding of concepts related to measurements across all sectors. The VIM is a normative reference in the standards ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 15189 and ISO/IEC 17043, and is therefore a key document for all organisations seeking accreditation.&nbsp;<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_Standards_8d947dbd5f.jpg" alt="Eurachem: You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel_A common language" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_Standards_8d947dbd5f.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1126" height="499"><h4>Is this enough?&nbsp;</h4>For laboratory staff some problems still stand and need to be addressed:&nbsp;<ul><li>Many people are confused about both concepts and terms.&nbsp;</li><li>It may be difficult to understand the “formal” VIM definitions – they are short statements intended to apply to many different measurement sectors.</li><li>Translations into local languages may add to the confusion, e.g. if different terms are used in different sectors for the same VIM concept and the translator overlooks this issue.</li><li>Some substantial changes to terminology have been made in an attempt to accommodate chemical and biological measurements. Some “old” concepts still stand but have new names, e.g. “within laboratory reproducibility” vs. “intermediate precision”.&nbsp;</li></ul>To address these issues Eurachem has produced a guide [2] which provides an accessible reference containing simple and in context explanations of terms most relevant to analysts, with additional examples relating those concepts to chemical and biological measurements.&nbsp;<h4>Do you understand the meaning of these terms?&nbsp;</h4>Are you interested in a quantity or a quality? Depending on the answer, will you use a measurement procedure or an examination? Is method verification the same or less demanding than method validation? Do you need a calibration or just performance verification? Do you have a measurement standard in your laboratory? Is metrological traceability something you worry about? These are examples of the terms supporting the reliability of any measurement result that need to be clearly understood.&nbsp;<h5>Example – Accuracy, trueness, precision: are they synonyms?&nbsp;</h5><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_accuracy_231e1e005e.jpg" alt="Eurachem: You talk, we understand – The way out of the tower of Babel_Example – Accuracy, trueness, precision" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_You_talk_we_understand_The_way_out_of_the_tower_of_Babel_accuracy_231e1e005e.jpg 146w," sizes="100vw" width="754" height="807"><ul><li>Closeness between measurement results (relating to the concept of precision)</li><li>Closeness of the average of the measurement results to a reference value (relating to the concept of trueness)&nbsp;</li><li>Closeness of an individual measurement result to the true value (relating to the concept of accuracy)&nbsp;</li></ul>The different situations in the figure show the effect of:&nbsp;<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;"><li>poor precision and trueness (imprecise and biased)&nbsp;</li><li>good precision, poor trueness (precise but biased)&nbsp;</li><li>poor precision, good trueness (imprecise but unbiased)&nbsp;</li><li>good precision and trueness (precise and unbiased)&nbsp;</li></ol>Improving both precision and trueness is expected to improve accuracy.&nbsp;<h4>Is all this relevant to you?&nbsp;</h4>Do you work in a laboratory, either as an analyst, quality manager or director? Are you involved in other activities related to analytical work, such as providing proficiency tests, producing reference materials or accrediting any such activity? Do you teach or study subjects related to measurements? Do you use measurement results or prescribe how to use them? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, the following reference documents are also for you.

The multi-sample furnace design enables simultaneous analysis of up to 19 samples.An analysis begins after samples are logged and empty crucibles are placed into the sample carousel. The system automatically records the mass of each empty crucible before prompting the operator to load samples. Once loaded, initial sample weights are recorded and the selected furnace temperature program is initiated.The furnace atmosphere is controlled using one of three analytical gases—air, nitrogen, or oxygen—depending on the analytical step. Each method step can be configured with specific temperature set points, ramp rates, atmospheres, and durations defined either by fixed time or mass constancy. Preset method steps for moisture, volatile matter, and ash determination are available and commonly used.Throughout the analysis, crucibles are automatically indexed and lowered onto the balance pedestal to record sample mass. Mass changes are tracked sequentially for each sample, and results are typically reported as percent mass loss at the end of each step. Additional or alternative calculations can be defined within the method as needed.An external PC running LECO Cornerstone® software manages all quantitative calculations, stores analytical data, and provides comprehensive reporting and traceability.

Moisture is determined by continuously measuring sample mass as a function of oven temperature while precisely controlling atmosphere and ventilation conditions.The instrument integrates a computer, a four-place analytical balance, and a multi-sample oven that enables the simultaneous analysis of up to 16 samples. Once an analysis method is selected, empty aluminum foil crucibles are loaded into the oven carousel. The system automatically tares each crucible before sequentially presenting them to the operator for sample loading. Initial sample masses are measured and stored automatically.After sample loading is complete, the analysis begins with controlled oven temperature ramping and the initiation of ventilation. Each crucible is automatically indexed and lowered onto the balance pedestal, where the sample mass is recorded. This process continues sequentially for all samples throughout the analysis.Mass loss is continuously monitored for each sample while the oven temperature and ventilation rate are regulated according to the selected method. Analysis duration can be defined either by a fixed time or by achieving sample mass constancy. Moisture content is calculated as percent mass loss and reported individually for each sample at the conclusion of the run.The intuitive touch-screen interface provides full access to method creation, analysis control, diagnostics, and reporting in a highly organized environment. Methods can be customized with user-defined oven temperatures, ramp rates, atmospheres, and ventilation settings. Real-time plots of sample mass loss and temperature are displayed on screen, while all results and calculations are automatically stored and managed by the software.By enabling batch processing of up to 16 samples with automated mass measurements, the TGM800 maximizes laboratory productivity, analytical consistency, and overall workflow efficiency.
