OK, this sounds like a great oppotunity for the BL intelligence division to get a man on the inside. Now who around here has a PhD in a related science and would know the relatively simple workings of GC/MS?

Seriously though, it would be great to hear of such things as they happen and not have to wait 2 years until someone with access to a paper posts it somewhere. Microgram is a great resource, often directly relevant to Australia, but it doesn't give the public everything.

Ive done Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometric, Differential Centrifugation and Gel Electropheresis. Too bad I followed the lab manual. I'm a chiro, not a chemist.

But I'll take the job

when do I start?

B T, Your on the ball that's for sure.

Got to get up pretty early in the morning............
