A Short Newsletter For The Busy Analytical Lab
From ACCTA, Inc.

"Analytical Solutions to Analytical Problems"
Vol. 11, No. 1-2
First and Second Quarter, 2023
The pandemic is over, but labs are still busy and understaffed (as usual).  You can get the most out of your new and existing HPLC staff and equipment by helping them learn more about that expensive tool that they use every day.  This is the opportunity that they, and you, need.

Thought For The Day

 

"Science is a human endeavor. It is about people in the end. It can't be held out there as some strange objective thing that doesn't relate to the world in which people function. It must not. It would be a terrible mistake." 

– Philip Handler (1917-1981)

Chemical and Engineering News, 20 July 1981, p. 38
