U.S. Analytical Instrument Market A new Frost & Sullivan study op timistically predicts that the market for analytical instrumentation will in crease by nearly 2% times to $1.3 bil lion by 1982. An all-out energy R&D program may tack on another $50 or $60 million in annual sales beginning in 1976. Other predictions in the study are that recent regulatory actions by the U.S. government agencies will spur analytical instrument sales, as will the current orientation of instru mentation toward applied research and industrial process applications. Analytical instrument data systems will account for an increasingly large dollar volume of sales by 1982, and systems incorporating sampling and data processing will increase their share of the market over individual in struments. For individual instruments, greatest growth rates are projected for liquid chromatographs, atomic absorption spectrophotometers, and wet chemical analyzers, although gas chromato

General Activation Analysis, Inc., 11575 Sorrento Valley Rd., San Diego, Calif. 92121, 714-755-5121, offers multielement survey analysis for $250/ sample. Samples are scanned for up to 74 elements; one or two dozen elements are usually detected with firm "upper limits" established for the remaining 50-60 elements. Typical sensitivities range from the ppm to ppb levels. A possible merger is in the works between Perkin-Elmer and Interdata. Perkin-Elmer is a major manufacturer of scientific instrumentation, especially analytical instruments; Interdata produces small computers and related equipment. Biomedical Mass Spectrometry is a new international journal of mass spectrometry in the biological, environmental, and medical sciences. It will be published bimonthly by Heyden & Son in London and is jointly edited by Brian Millard of the School of Pharmacy, London, and Catherine Fenselau of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.
