REPORT 883 A On the cover. Analytical chemistry in a fish tank. The shift away from traditional wet chemistry in many university teaching laboratories has resulted in few graduates who are adequately trained to prepare samples for analysis. Kenneth D. Hughes of the Georgia Institute of Technology describes his experiences using a salt water aquarium ecosystem to teach the required manual and instrumental skills and to provide an appreciation of the role of chemistry in the real world
A/C INTERFACE 896 A S t r a t e g i c LIMS matrix. Because a LIMS can provide the means to automate information creation and presentation as well as the platform for information dissemination, it should serve as a strategic system that adds value to the information generated. R. D. McDowall of the University of Surrey focuses on the impact that LIMS should, but rarely do, make on an organization and proposes a matrix that can be used to ensure that any LIMS reaches its full potential
