Welcome

The 22nd Annual Ohio Mass Spectrometry Symposium (OMSS 2025) will be held at The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, on October 23-24, 2025.

Register now!

The purpose of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers in the region to present their findings, share information, discuss research challenges with colleagues, and spark new collaborations in the field of mass spectrometry and its rapidly advancing applications and technologies. Key topics will include Metabolomics, Proteomics, MS Imaging Techniques, Advanced Ionization Techniques, Instrumentation, and Native MS. The annual symposium is hosted by OSU’s Campus Chemical Instrumentation Center (CCIC) and the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Sponsors of OMSS 2025 include Agilent, Bruker, Waters, SciEx, Evosep, and Peak Scientific. Visit our Sponsors page for information about sponsorship opportunities.
