Greetings!
I am proud to announce that this is my 48th consecutive monthly E-Newsletter. To see how far I have come, check out my first E-Newsletter here from November 2008.
After an extremely busy October, with National Chemistry week events in Boston, we kicked November off with the Cape Cod Science Cafe~The Chemistry of Wine event organized by Jack and I and sponsored by the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society. About 20% of the audience was technical and the remainder were local residents interested in learning the science behind how food changes the way wine tastes. We had two consecutive seatings of forty persons each. It was wildly successful and we are busy planning three more of the *adult* Cape Cod Science Cafe events for 2013 as well as a Cape Cod Science Cafe outreach event for grades K-12.

What's new in the analyzer business? Thirty-nine years after introducing the world's first portable photoionization detector (PID) we introduced our version of the portable Flame Ionization Detector (FID). Believe me, the irony is not lost on us. Although we advocate for PID based instrumentation when applicable, as detector specialists we recognize that sometimes an FID is the ideal choice. We have, in fact, been manufacturing a flame ionization detector for our gas chromatography product line since 1979. We applied this GC detector FID technology to our fixed continuous analyzers in the mid-1990's. In 2012 following a miniaturization of our FID detector the Model 115 was released.
