For Your Information West Coast Technical Service, Inc., specializers in chemical analyses by instrumental methods, have moved their main office and laboratory from San Gabriel to Cerritos, Calif. The lab now offers services in mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, GC/MS, thermal, infrared, and atomic absorption analyses. Dow Chemical U.S.A. now offers services for construction of highly specialized scientific glass apparatus through its Dow Interpretative Analytical Services. This custom glass fabrication will be supplied by 10 highly skilled glass blowers. Facilities are located at Dow's laboratories in Midland, Mich. Intelcom Rad Tech offers chlorine determinations as part of its activation analysis service. Results are usually available within two weeks after receipt of samples (within five working days or less, if required). The method consists of activating the chlorine 37 C with neutrons and counting the radioactive 38C1 which results. Fluorine, bromine, iodine, and some 70 other elements are routinely determined by activation analysis. For more information, contact: L. E. Kowar, Activation Analysis Service, P.O. Box 80817, San Diego, Calif. 92138. 714-453-5474 Cathodeon Ltd., Nuffield Road, Cambridge, England CB4 1TF, manufacturer of hollow cathode and deuterium lamps and a new low-noise infrared detector (IR50), is currently looking for dealers for its entire range of products for the USA and other countries. GCA/McPherson Instrument, makers of vacuum UV, visible, infrared, and electron spectrometers, have acquired the complete line of Heath/ Schlumberger spectrophotometers. C. G. Enke and H. V. Malmstadt, initiators of the designs for the equipment, have been retained as consultants to GCA/McPherson.
