The selectivity you w a n t but with twice the efficiency in afullysilanized Cie R-P column. And it costs less. New. Partisil-10ODS-3. The same selectivity as the most popular 10/xm Cie reversed-phase column. Except: better than twice the efficiency — 27,000 plates per meter, typical. And full backbone protection — fully silanized with negligible residual silanols. No bed sinkage because of silica dissolution. Highly stable Si-0-Si-Ci8 bonds. Ideal for ion pair, ion suppression separations, too. The most durable R-P column we've ever offered. Analytical and matched prep columns; scale-up on your analytical LC unit; no need for a dedicated prep system. Partisil-10 ODS-3. One-for-one substitution for the most popular reversed-phase. With many advantages. Including price. For technical data, or to order: Whatman Chemical Separation Division 9 Bridewell Place, Clifton, New Jersey 07014 Tel: (201) 777-4825

For Your Information Biospherics Inc. has recently received accreditation by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) to conduct analytical services in conformance with quality control and methodologies approved by the association. Previously involved only with pesticides and toxic substances assessment, Biospherics is expanding its analytical services to include all areas of environmental science. Biospherics is one of 17 independent laboratories accredited by AIHA. SRI International announces the availability of its annual "Directory of Chemical Producers—United States." The directory provides descriptions of more than 1300 companies and gives divisional structure, plant locations, and products manufactured at each site. More than 10 000 commercial chemical products are listed, showing producers and plant locations. Initial
Performance is t h e Key For years GOW-MAC's simplified gas chromatographs have been making a strong Impact on a demanding field. Both thermal conductivity and flame ionization detector models are offered. Recently the microprocessor has brought a higher level of temperature programming capability to the analytical technique. Yet GOW-MAC's price remains low while the quality stays high. In all cases, the GOW-MAC gas chromatograph consists of a superlative detector encased in an instrument designed to optimize the performance of the detector. The more sophisticated instruments may look pretty, but we don't
compete with good looks, we compleme their specific analytical capabilities, with low cost, high quality GOW-MAC instrumentation.
Microprocessor P r o g r a m m i n g WeVe added a microprocessor-controllet temperature programmer to our standan thermal conductivity GC to create the 550P, on the left. The 69-750P dual flan microprocessor controlled GC is also avE able. You can program time, temperature and ramps; all at the push of a few buttor Each instrument handles routine analyse
