Dial any elution formed by two liquids directly into t h e Dialagrad Programmed Gradient Pump. Program duration and pumping rates are easily a d j u s t e d over b r o a d ranges. Monitor t h e effluent w i t h an ISCO quantitative absorbance recorder. Measures true linear absorbance, hot percent transmittance. Single or dual beam operation at 2 5 4 ι τ μ , 2 8 0 ιτιμ, a n d m a n y o t h e r w a v e lengths. Collect t h e effluent automatically in an ISCO fraction collector. Two linear and four round models to choose from. Priced from $245 to $850.

t h e application of photon counting to kinetic measurements. KEITH E. C U R T I S , University of Waterloo (Society of A n a l y t i c a l C h e m ists o f P i t t s b u r g h , Full y e a r — $ 5 0 0 0 ) Keith Edward Curtis did his un dergraduate work in a five-year p a r t time p r o g r a m a t t h e Western Aus tralian I n s t i t u t e of Technology. D u r ing this time he was employed by a fertilizer com p a n y in P e r t h , Western Australia, as an analyst and later as assistant production manager. Shortly after graduating with a Diploma in P u r e Chemistry he was appointed chief chemist of t h e company's agronomy laboratory and was admitted to t h e Royal Australian Chemical I n s t i t u t e as a n associate m e m
ber. I n 1968 he moved to t h e Uni versity of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, to take u p studies for an M.Sc. and later a P h . D . degree in analytical chemistry, where his present work involves the s t u d y of vicinal dihydroxypyridines as potential reagents for metal ion analy sis. At present, M r . Curtis is joint au thor of a p a p e r presenting some p r e liminary work on t h e purification and properties of 2,3-dihydroxypyridine and its color reaction with iron ( I I I ) and in mineral acids [Anal. Chim. Acta, 49, 351-5 ( 1 9 7 0 ) ] . H e hopes to extend this work to include t h e development of specific procedures with this and other similar reagents for t h e analysis of transition metal ion mixtures in ores and minerals, including other measure m e n t techniques such as electrochem ical methods. His long-term research interests lie in the field of applied spectroscopic analysis, especially atomic absorption, and the development and improvement of analytical methods
