Water Study

Taste

and

Odor

Development of adequate standards for testing taste and odor in public water supplies is now being carried out a t the Franklin I n s t i t u t e . T h e project is sponsored by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association. This is p a r t of an over-all program by MCA's W a t e r Pollution A b a t e m e n t Committee. T h e Franklin I n s t i t u t e re­ cently completed a critical evaluation of the technical literature in this field. T h e new project will include chemi­ cal, biological, physiological, and psy­ chological aspects. Circle N i . 133 η Healers' Service Card

A message j of importance So...

Fast quantitative analysis of H1 in or­ ganic functional groups...tracing the amount and location of deuteration ...quantitative measurements of cistrans isomerism.. .'these are typical of the varied analyses made by Ν MR Spectroscopy. Now, simplifications introduced by Varian's A-60 Spec­ trometer enable technicians with brief training to operate the instrument. By producing fasi, economical and reproducible spectra, the A-60 can be profitable for independent analytical laboratories. Ν MR is already highly productive for company analytical groups serving various departments. (There are known cases where an NMR Spectrometer has paid for itself with a single result). For complete data on the new A-60 write the INSTRUMENT DIVISION.
