7:40 pm - 9:30 pm | Novel Diagnostic Concepts |
| Any progress in understanding of non equilibrium plasmas relies in the validation of models by quantitative data. Novel diagnostic concepts are continuously being developed based on a clever combination and exploitation of traditional techniques or the invention of complete new diagnostics being compatible with the plasma environment. |

| Plasma are used as ionization sources in many analysis schemes. Established examples are electrospray, ICP-MS or OES-MS. However, more advanced schemes are currently explored by employing plasmas as metastable sources for soft ionization to reduce molecule fragmentation and to allow for a more unique identification of species. |
