Considering α Fraction Collector? Consider Buchler. Liquid chromatography, density gradients, electro phoresis . . . anywhere a versatile, automatic fraction collector is required, Buchler has the exact model. Linear, circular, long run, short run, sectional, micro . . . you name it, we make it. Buchler Fraction Collectors offer a choice of collec tion methods, solid state electronics for cold room use, refrigeration options, and ease of conversion for changes in application. We believe Buchler Fraction Collectors are — dollar for dollar — the best value on the market. So if you're collecting fractions without collecting our literature, you could be missing something.

For Your Information The Autolab Division of SpectraPhysics and Yanagimoto, a leading Japanese analytical instrument man ufacturer, have announced an agree ment for marketing Autolab products in Japan. The agreement calls for an exchange of technical information as well as the marketing of Autolab chromatographic data reduction sys tems by Yanagimoto in Japan. Yanagimoto, based in Kyoto, offers a broad line of analytical instruments for lab, biomedical, and pollution monitoring applications. Plenum Press, 227 West 17th St., New York, N.Y. 10011, has com menced publication of the Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics, a bimonthly. Subscription rates for the U.S. are $32. The journal will be devoted to illustrating the im portance of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics in understanding the mechanisms of drug action, de sign, therapy, and evaluation. Hunterlab of Fairfax, Va., manufac turer of instruments for the measure ment of color, gloss, and other attri butes of appearance, has appointed Rema, S.A., Apartado 7-865, Mexico 7 D.F., as its representative in Mexi co. The Etec Corp. of Hayward, Calif., has added secondary ion mass spec trometry (SIMS) to its line of scan ning electron microscopes. A UTI quadrupole-type mass analyzer is used in conjunction with an ion gun and energy filter for elemental and compound analysis of specimen sur faces. Larkton Scientific, P.O. Box 302, Monroeville, Pa. 15146, offers a new service in used instruments. The company will buy, sell, or trade used nuclear magnetic spectrometers and subsystem components. Also included are EPR and NQR equipment and peripheral electronic instruments. Molectron Corp. has moved to new facilities at 177 North Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, Calif. 94086. Tel: 408-738-2661
